Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joel 3:11
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
11. Assemble —"Hasten" [MAURER]. thither —to the valley of Jehoshaphat. thy mighty ones —the warriors who fancy themselves "mighty ones," but who are on that very spot to be overthrown by Jehovah [MAURER]. Compare "the mighty men" ( :- ). Rather, Joel speaks of God's really "mighty ones" in contrast to the self-styled "mighty men" ( Joel 3:9 ; Psalms 103:20 ; Isaiah 13:3 ; compare Daniel 10:13 ). AUBERLEN remarks: One prophet supplements the other, for they all prophesied only "in part." What was obscure to one was revealed to the other; what is briefly described by one is more fully so by another. Daniel calls Antichrist a king, and dwells on his worldly conquests; John looks more to his spiritual tyranny, for which reason he adds a second beast, wearing the semblance of spirituality. Antichrist himself is described by Daniel. Isaiah ( Daniel 10:13- : ), Joel ( Daniel 10:13- : ) and Zechariah ( Daniel 10:13- : ), describe his army of heathen followers coming up against Jerusalem, but not Antichrist himself. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
