Who Is Being Judged?
Scholars disagree on who is being "visited" by God's fiery judgment. Some commentators, like Albert Barnes and John Calvin, argue it is the enemy army (the Assyrians). Others, like John Gill, believe it is Jerusalem itself being punished for its sins, pointing to the later Roman destruction. This highlights the complexity of prophetic texts where God's actions can be multifaceted.
