The Terrifying Sound of Judgment
Commentators explain that God's judgment is depicted with terrifying sounds: the roar of a lion and the shout of grape-treaders. This isn't to portray God as savage, but as John Calvin notes, to use powerful, hyperbolic language to awaken people from their spiritual apathy. The imagery conveys the inescapable and overwhelming nature of His coming judgment against all nations.
