4 The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joel 3:4

Commentary on Joel 3:1-8

(Read Joel 3:1-8)

The restoration of the Jews, and the final victory of true religion over all opposers, appear to be here foretold. The contempt and scorn with which the Jews have often been treated as a people, and the little value set upon them, are noticed. None ever hardened his heart against God or his church, and prospered long.
