A Prelude to God's Arrival
Most commentators agree that this verse describes a literal weather event that points to a spiritual reality. As a storm gathers, the sun (the 'bright light') is hidden by clouds. When the wind clears them, the light is revealed in its dazzling, overpowering glory. This natural event serves as a prelude to God's imminent and majestic appearance in the whirlwind in the next chapter.
