God's Sovereignty Over Nature
Commentators emphasize God's absolute control over nature. Just as an east wind brought the locusts, a "mighty strong west wind" removes them. Matthew Henry notes that no matter which way the wind blows, "it is fulfilling God's word." The complete removal of every single locust was as miraculous as their arrival, showcasing God's sovereign power to both judge and relent.
