Joel 2:27 Summary
This verse promises that when we know and experience God's presence, we will understand that He is the one and only true God. We will never again be put to shame because God will restore and redeem us, just like He promises in Joel 2:25-26. As believers, we can trust in God's promise to be with us always, as seen in Matthew 28:20, and know that He is our loving and faithful Father. By knowing and experiencing God's presence, we can live with confidence and hope, knowing that we are His beloved children.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to be 'present in Israel' in Joel 2:27?
This refers to God's special presence and dwelling among His people, as seen in Exodus 25:8 and Ezekiel 37:27, where God promises to live among them.
How can we be sure there is no other God like the LORD?
The Bible affirms the uniqueness of God in Isaiah 44:6 and Deuteronomy 4:35, emphasizing that He is the one and only true God.
Why will God's people never again be put to shame?
This is because God will restore and redeem His people, as promised in Joel 2:25-26, and they will know and experience His presence and provision, just like in Psalm 23:3 where God restores our souls.
Is this promise only for the nation of Israel or for all believers?
While the immediate context is Israel, the principles of God's presence and redemption apply to all believers, as seen in Romans 11:25-26 and Galatians 3:28-29, where we are all part of God's family.

Gill's Exposition on Joel 2:27
And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel,.... The presence of God among his people shall be so manifest, the tokens of it so clear, that it shall be easily known, by the impressions of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joel 2:27
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joel 2:27
And ye, who repent, pray, are blessed with such answer to your prayers, shall know; by experience shall see, and acknowledge. That I am in the midst of Israel; my true Israel, obedient Israel; I am with them to bless them, defend them, guide them, and provide for them. That I am the Lord; the almighty and everlasting God. Your God, as I was the God of your father Abraham; yours in peculiar manner by covenant, and to redeem you from evil. And none else; that there is not a god beside me, that the idols you formerly doted upon were no gods, that the idols the heathen boast of are a doctrine of lies, and deceive them that trust on them. My people shall never be ashamed: see .
Trapp's Commentary on Joel 2:27
Joe 2:27 And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.Ver. 27. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel] These temporal blessings shall seal up my love to you and presence of grace with you. True it is that no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them, Ecclesiastes 9:1; because all things come alike to all, Joe 2:2. But yet from this text we may comfortably conclude, that if the good things of this life make us more cheerful, thankful, hopeful; if mercy excite us to duty, and the sense of God’ s love make us love God, his ways, and people, with a desire to love them more; then we are loved of God, who is in us of a truth, 1 John 4:10; 1 John 4:19, and we may know it too. For if instinct of nature teach dams to know their young ones, and the young their dams, shall not God’ s Spirit teach us to know him, that he is in the midst of us, not by his omnipresence only, but by his gracious presence? yea, that he is the Lord our God, and none else; and that while we hold us to this anchorhold of the faithful soul, we shall never be ashamed, Psalms 31:1. That was a brave speech of Luther, and one of those that a man would fetch upon his knees from Rome or Jerusalem to be author of them, Ipse videret ubi anima mea mansura sit, qui pro ea sic solicitus fuit, ut vitam pro ea posuerit, Let him see to it where my soul shall rest, who took so much care for it as that he laid down his life for it (Joh. Manl. loc. com.).
Ellicott's Commentary on Joel 2:27
(27) I am in the midst of Israel.—This Divine assurance, similar to that with which the book ends, prepares the way for the spiritual blessings about to be announced.
Cambridge Bible on Joel 2:27

Exodus 17:7; Numbers 11:20; Numbers 14:14; Deuteronomy 7:21; Deuteronomy 31:17; Joshua 3:10; Hosea 11:9; Isaiah 12:6 al. and that I am Jehovah your God] Cf. Joe 3:17, “And ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God.” The phrase is a stereotyped one, which occurs (with or without your God) often in certain parts of the O.T., usually to denote the conviction produced by some great act of judgment or deliverance upon those who witness it. In Ezekiel (who uses it—with ye, they, or thou, as the case may be—more than 50 times) it is a standing refrain, coming often at the end of a paragraph, or a prophecy, as Ezekiel 6:7; Ezekiel 6:10; Ezekiel 6:13-14, Ezekiel 7:4; Ezekiel 7:9; Ezekiel 7:27, Ezekiel 20:42, Ezekiel 25:5; Ezekiel 25:7; Ezekiel 25:11; Ezekiel 25:17, Ezekiel 36:38, Ezekiel 37:13; Ezekiel 37:28, Ezekiel 39:6-7; Ezekiel 39:22; Ezekiel 39:28 : it occurs also several times in the priestly sections of the Pent.
