Commentary on Joel 1:12

Theological / Devotional

Pomegranate. The enumeration of the effects of the drought (v. 20) on the various plants and trees is doubtless to emphasize its severity. The language of vs. 10-12 also fittingly describes the effects of the fourth of the seven last plagues (Rev. 16:8, 9; cf. GC 628).
