God's Strategic Stillness
Commentators explain that when God says He will be "still" and "behold," it doesn't mean He is inactive or indifferent. Instead, He is portrayed as calmly and deliberately observing the plans of nations from His heavenly dwelling. This apparent quietness is a strategic pause, allowing events to unfold until the perfect moment for His decisive intervention and judgment arrives.
