God's Effortless Call
Commentators explain that God's "hiss" or "whistle" signifies His powerful and effortless call to gather His people. Like a shepherd piping for his flock or a beekeeper summoning a swarm, God's call through the Gospel is sufficient to overcome any distance or obstacle. This demonstrates that God's redemptive plan is not limited by what humans perceive as difficult.
