Commentaries on Joel 2:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord - יהוה בשם יקרא אשר כל col asher yikra beshem Yehovah, "All who shall invoke in the name of Jehovah." That Christ is the Jehovah here mentioned appears plain from Romans 10:15, where the reader had better consult the notes. "This refers," says Bp. Newcome, "to the safety of the Christians during the Jewish and the Roman war." It may: but it has a much more extensive meaning, as the use of it by St. Paul, as…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 32Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord - To call upon the name of the Lord, is to worship Him, as He is, depending “upon” Him. “The name of the Lord,” expresses His True Being, That which He is. Hence, so often in Holy Scripture, people are said to “call on the Name of the Lord,” to bless the Name of the Lord, to praise the Name of the Lord, to sing praises to His Name, to make mention of His Name, to tell of His Name, to know His Name” but it is…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-32Verses 28-32 The promise began to be fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out, and it was continued in the converting grace and miraculous gifts conferred on both Jews and Gentiles. The judgments of God upon a sinful world, only go before the judgment of the world in the last day. Calling on God supposes knowledge of him, faith in him, desire toward him, dependence on him, and, as evidence of the sincerity of all this…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 32everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved: Calling on God's name should not be a final act of desperation. It should be part of a lifelong commitment to worship, serve, and have fellowship with the Lord (see Genesis 12:8; Psalm 105:1; Isaiah 12:4; Romans 10:13; 12:1–2). Those whom the Lord has called are his chosen remnant. They are the survivors of judgment who worship him (see 2 Kings 19:31; Ezra 9:8–15; Isaiah 10:20–22).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3232. call on ... name of ... Lord--Hebrew, Jehovah. Applied to Jesus in Ro 10:13 (compare Ac 9:14; 1Co 1:2). Therefore, Jesus is Jehovah; and the phrase means, "Call on Messiah in His divine attributes." shall be delivered--as the Christians were, just before Jerusalem's destruction, by retiring to Pella, warned by the Saviour (Mt 24:16); a type of the spiritual deliverance of all believers, and of the last deliverance of the elect "remnant" of Israel from…Read the comment
