God's Swift Judgment

Commentators agree that this invasion was a direct and swift act of God's judgment. It occurred "at the end of the year" following the murder of the prophet Zechariah, fulfilling his dying words that God would "require" justice. This shows that God is not slow to hold nations and their leaders accountable for rebellion and shedding innocent blood.
