Gill's Notes on the Bible
Fear not, O land,.... O land of Israel, as the Targum, and the inhabitants of it; neither of the locusts, who had so terrified them, and had done so much mischief, and threatened more; nor of their enemies, the Assyrians or Chaldeans, and their powerful armies, or any other; but, on the contrary,
be glad, and rejoice; at the removal of the locusts, and at the destruction of their enemies:
for the Lord will do great things; good things, in opposition to the evil things done by the locusts, as Aben Ezra, Kimchi, and Ben Melech observe; or by the destroying army of the king of Assyria, by delivering the Jews out of the Babylonish captivity; and in the times of the Maccabees, and especially in the times of Christ, which are quickly prophesied of in this chapter; and which prophecies some interpreters begin here, it not being unusual for the prophets to pass directly from things temporal to things spiritual, and especially to the great deliverance and salvation by Christ, and also by temporal blessings to design spiritual ones.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Fear not, O land - Before, they were bidden to tremble Joel 2:1, now they are bidden, âfear not;â before, âto turn in weeping, fasting and mourning;â now, âto bound for joy and rejoice;â before, âthe land mourned;â now, âthe land is bidden to rejoice.â The enemy had âdone great things;â now the cause of joy is that God had âdone great things;â the Almightiness of God overwhelming and sweeping over the might put forth to destroy. It is better rendered, âthe Lord hath done great things.â If Joel includes herein Godâs great doings yet to come, he speaks of them as, in the purpose of God, already in being; or he may, in this verse, presuppose that this new order of Godâs mercies has begun, in the destruction of the Pagan foe.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 21. Fear not - for the Lord will do great things. — The words are repeated from the preceding verse; Jehovah will do great things in driving them away, and supernaturally restoring the land to fertility.
