The threshing floors
In ancient Israel, threshing floors were open spaces where harvested grain was separated from the chaff. This imagery is deeply rooted in the agricultural practices of the time, symbolizing abundance and provision. The Hebrew word for "threshing floor" is "goren," which signifies a place of gathering and productivity. Spiritually, it represents a place where God’s blessings are made manifest, a return to prosperity after a period of desolation.

will be full of grain
The promise of fullness is significant, especially considering the context of Joel, where the land had suffered devastation from locusts. The Hebrew word for "full" is "male," indicating completeness and satisfaction. Grain, or "dagan" in Hebrew, was a staple food, essential for survival. This phrase assures the people of God’s restoration and provision, symbolizing spiritual nourishment and the fulfillment of God’s promises.

and the vats
Vats, or "yeqeb" in Hebrew, were containers used for collecting the juice from pressed grapes or olives. They are symbolic of abundance and the fruitfulness of the land. In a spiritual sense, vats represent the capacity to receive and hold God’s blessings. The mention of vats indicates a readiness to receive the outpouring of God’s grace and favor.

will overflow
The concept of overflowing, from the Hebrew "shuq," conveys an image of abundance beyond measure. It suggests not just sufficiency but an excess that spills over. This is a powerful image of God’s generosity and the superabundance of His blessings. It speaks to the idea that God’s provision is not limited but is lavish and overflowing.

with new wine
New wine, or "tirosh" in Hebrew, symbolizes joy, celebration, and the newness of life. In the biblical context, wine is often associated with gladness and divine blessing. The promise of new wine indicates a renewal of joy and a fresh outpouring of God’s Spirit. It points to a time of celebration and the restoration of what was lost.

and oil
Oil, or "yitshar" in Hebrew, was used for anointing, cooking, and lighting lamps. It is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, healing, and consecration. The abundance of oil signifies spiritual richness and the presence of God’s anointing. It represents the empowerment and sanctification of God’s people, ensuring that they are equipped for His purposes.

Verses 24-27. - In these verses the prophet pictures the blessed effects of the abundant rain on the parched and barren land. Ver. 2i presents a contrast to vers. 10-12 of ch. 1; while the promise of corn and wine and oil in ver. 19, with which the present is closely connected, is performed. The perfects exhibit the Divine promise as actually accomplished.

(1) The word בּר, from בּרר, to separate, denotes the pure grain separated from the husk or chaff and straw.

(2) שׁוּק is" to run," and in Hiph.," to cause to run" as of fluids, then overflow; and Pilel in Psalm 65:10, shoqeq, "to cause to overflow."

(3) יקב, equivalent to נקב, is a vessel bored or hewn out, then the vat into which the wine trodden out in the wine-press, or the oil trodden out in the oil-press, flows; while גח is the press in which wine or oil, especially the former, is trodden out. I will restore to you the years. This denotes either . . .
