W<FONT SIZE=-1>E</FONT> are altogether uncertain concerning the time
|
||
|
|
when this prophet prophesied; it is probable that it was about the same
|
||
|
|
time Amos prophesied, not for the reason that the rabbin give, "Because
|
||
|
|
Amos begins his prophecy with that wherewith Joel concludes his, <I>The
|
||
|
|
Lord shall roar out of Zion,</I>" but for the reason Dr. Lightfoot
|
||
|
|
gives, "Because he speaks of the same judgments of locusts, and
|
||
|
|
drought, and fire, that Amos laments, which is an intimation that they
|
||
|
|
appeared about the same time, Amos in Israel and Joel in Judah. Hosea
|
||
|
|
and Obadiah prophesied about the same time; and it appears that Amos
|
||
|
|
prophesied in the says of Jeroboam, the second king of Israel,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Am+7:10">Amos vii. 10</A>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
God sent a variety of prophets, that they might strengthen the hands
|
||
|
|
one of another, and that out of the mouth of two or three witnesses
|
||
|
|
every word might be established. In this prophecy,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I. The desolations made by hosts of noxious insects is described,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Joe+1:1-2:11"><I>ch.</I> i. and part of <I>ch.</I> ii.</A>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
II. The people are hereupon called to repentance,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Joe+2:12-17"><I>ch.</I> ii.</A>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
III. Promises are made of the return of mercy upon their repentance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Joe+2:18-32"><I>ch.</I> ii.</A>),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and promises of the pouring out of the Spirit in the latter days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IV. The cause of God's people is pleaded against their enemies, whom
|
||
|
|
God would in due time reckon with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Joe+3:1-21"><I>ch.</I> iii.</A>);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and glorious things are spoken of the gospel--Jerusalem and of the
|
||
|
|
prosperity and perpetuity of it.</P>
