This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord, the Almighty God, the God of Israel, Lord of hosts,
shall be seen over them; shall manifestly appear for them by his works of power against their enemies.
His arrow; alluding to warriors, that then used the bow: God’s judgments, which slew his church’s enemies, were swift, irresistible, and sudden in striking and killing them.
Shall go forth as the lightning; which breaks forth with violence, and runs from east to west in a moment, which is very terrible many times.
The Lord God; their God, the God of Israel,
shall blow the trumpet, give the alarm to them to provide for the war, sound the call to bring them together, and the march also for their moving, and sound the charge too; God will infuse new courage, and give directions.
And shall go, in the head of them as Captain-general,
with whirlwinds, with fury and strength like that of whirlwinds,
of the south, in which the mightiest whirlwinds are raised; or whirlwinds of Teman: some think the prophet alludes to the tempest about Sinai at the delivery of the law, when all Israel, and Moses too, quaked for fear, Deu_5:23-25; yea, quaked exceedingly, and desired to see no more such sight.
