The Purpose of Fear
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon highlight a key spiritual principle in this verse. The shift from promises of comfort to a "voice of trembling" is intentional. God often reveals our desperate need for Him before He provides comfort and restoration. This process is described as a divine pattern: "stripping before clothing; emptying before filling." The terror is a necessary prelude to experiencing God's true peace.
