God's Sovereignty in Chaos
Commentators emphasize that the internal chaos described is a "great tumult from Jehovah." This is not random violence but a sovereign act of God. Scholars like Calvin explain that God uses such internal conflict to judge His enemies, test the faith of His people, and purify His church. It's a reminder that even in social or political breakdown, God is accomplishing His divine purposes.
