“Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.”
The rising up and exaltation of God promises that God will at last fully manifest His authority and power, bringing an end to the period of conflict and devastation. This verse presents the turning point in which God actively intervenes to accomplish judgment and restoration. The contrast between the previous verses describing human chaos and the promise of God's intervention suggests that God has allowed a period of conflict but will ultimately act decisively. The verse assures the reader that despite the devastation described in the preceding verses, God retains complete control and will intervene to accomplish His purposes.
