Judgment Spreads Like a Storm

Commentators explain that the judgment described is not a single, isolated event but a process that spreads sequentially across the globe. John Calvin likens it to a contagion, while others focus on the storm metaphor: a tempest that begins on the horizon and eventually engulfs all nations, showing that God's judgment will reach even the most remote places.
