“The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.”
Mountains quake and hills melt before the LORD's face; the earth heaves at His presence, and the world and all inhabitants tremble at His coming. This verse employs theophanic language (divine manifestation) common to psalms and prophetic visions, suggesting that Nineveh's fall will be attended by cosmic upheaval reflecting God's active presence in judgment. The trembling creation symbolizes that no earthly power can withstand the God of hosts.
