Scripture focus

Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

Joel 3:11 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Gather yourselves. For the conditional fulfillment to literal Israel see p. 30. For the fulfillment to spiritual Israel see on v. 2.

Round about. Literally, “from round about.” The phrase modifies heathen (Heb. goyim, “nations”), rather than “gather.”

Mighty ones. Heb. gibborim, which may be translated “warriors” (see on v. 10).
