Commentators emphasize that this verse depicts God's absolute sovereignty. The "tidings" are a direct revelation from God, and the "ambassador" represents His divine will summoning nations to war. John Calvin notes that God can rouse armies with a mere "nod or a hiss," showing that He is the ultimate commander behind the rise and fall of nations, using them to fulfill His purposes.
