20 Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem through all generations.
20 But Judah shall be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem to all generations.
20 Meanwhile, Judah will be filled with people, Jerusalem inhabited forever.
20 But Judah shall abide forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
20 "But Judah will be filled with people forever, and Jerusalem will endure through all generations.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joel 3:20
Commentary on Joel 3:18-21
(Read Joel 3:18-21)
There shall be abundant Divine influences, and the gospel will spread speedily into the remotest corners of the earth. These events are predicted under significant emblems; there is a day coming, when every thing amiss shall be amended. The fountain of this plenty is in the house of God, whence the streams take rise. Christ is this Fountain; his sufferings, merit, and grace, cleanse, refresh, and make fruitful. Gospel grace, flowing from Christ, shall reach to the Gentile world, to the most remote regions, and make them abound in fruits of righteousness; and from the house of the Lord above, from his heavenly temple, flows all the good we daily taste, and hope to enjoy eternally.
