“Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:”
All flesh will see that I the Lord have kindled it; it will not be quenched, making the judgment a public demonstration of God's power and sovereignty. The repeated assertion of God's agency in kindling the fire emphasizes that this judgment emanates directly from God, not from human political circumstances. The public nature of the judgment establishes its function as theological testimony.
