God's Visible Intervention
Commentators explain that God "coming out of his place" is a powerful metaphor. It doesn't mean the omnipresent God moves, but that He is shifting from a perceived state of quiet patience to active, visible judgment against evil. As scholars like Calvin and Gill note, it's as if God is leaving His throne of grace to perform the "strange act" of punishment, assuring believers that He will intervene in worldly affairs.
