Joel 2 Scofield
Read Joel 2 · Matthew Henry on Joel 2
2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
“repenteth”
(See Scofield "Zech 8:14").
2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
“afterward”
Cf. Acts 2:17 which gives a specific interpretation of "afterward" (Heb. acherith= "latter," "last"). "Afterward" in Joel Joel 2:28 means "in the last days" (Greek - ἔσχατος), and has a partial and continuous fulfilment during the "last days" which began with the first advent of Christ Heb 1:2 but the greater fulfilment awaits the "last days" as applied to Israel. (See Scofield "Acts 2:17"), for phrase, "the last days." See Scofield "Acts 2:17".
2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
“remnant”
(See Scofield "Jer 15:21").

2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
“his army”
To Joel 2:10 inclusive the invading army is described; at Joel 2:11 Jehovah's army. This "army" is described, Rev 19:11–18. The call to repentance is based upon the Lord's promise of deliverance, Joel 2:12–17. At verses Joel 2:18–20 we have the deliverance (Joel 2:20); see "Armageddon," (See Scofield "Rev 16:14"), and kingdom blessing in verses Joel 2:21–27. Joel 2:28–32 give the outpouring of the Spirit, and Joel 2:29–32 the cosmical signs preceding the day of the Lord. See Scofield "Rev 19:11".
