And the whole earth will be consumed
In the fire of His jealous 1:18 God’s judgment and God’s mercy are the twin themes of the prophets. In this dramatic passage, the Lord describes the destruction that will sweep the earth in the day of His wrath. Yet the Lord is true to His promises: the remnant will be restored (Zeph 3:18-20); the last day is also “the day of redemption” (Eph 4:30). See also Matt 24:31; John 14:3; 1 Thess 4:15-17.
For He shall make a full and complete end,
Indeed a terrifying one,
Of all the inhabitants of the earth. [Luke 21:35, 36; 2 Pet 3:10-13]
