“He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.”
The LORD's majestic power over creation—rebuking the sea, drying up rivers, withering Bashan and Carmel, and causing Lebanon to wither—demonstrates divine sovereignty over nature itself as prelude to His sovereignty over nations. The natural world trembles before His presence, establishing that the coming judgment on Nineveh flows from the same power that sustains creation. This cosmic imagery elevates the prophecy beyond mere political commentary to eschatological significance.
