Matthew Poole and continuators on Joel 3:21

21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed ; for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

And, Heb.

Purge away both by the spirit of Sanctification and by free Pardon in the blood of the Redeemer, by their Sufferings also, by the waters of Affliction, as well as by the washing of Regeneration, and Renewing of the Holy Ghost.

Their moral pollutions and sinfulness compar'd here unto blood, as also Ezek. 16.6, 9. and so men in sinful state are called flesh and blood, Matth. 16.17. and Gal. 1.16. God will pardon and purifie Believers, and when they are pardoned and purified nothing attempted against them shall succeed.

Which before I had not taken away, what was wanting in their Sanctification or Justification, and Reconciliation I will make up in them and to them.

And I am Iehovah dwelling in Zion, whence the Law of Grace was publish'd, where the wonders of Pardoning and Sanctifying Grace are wrought, that Israel might be a people with whom the Holy God might dwell. Now whereas this can be done but in part here on Earth, there is a Sion above, whither Iehovah who dwells there will take every Saint after the day of Judgement, having first vindicated, acquitted, and pronounced them holy and meet for enjoyment of the Holy One.
