The use of "zeal" and "fiery rage" indicates a divine reaction that is both protective and punitive. This reflects God's holiness and justice, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/nahum/1-2.htm">Nahum 1:2-3</a>, where God is described as a jealous and avenging deity. The imagery of fire often symbolizes judgment and purification throughout the Bible, as in <a href="/malachi/3-2.htm">Malachi 3:2-3</a>.<p><b>I proclaim that on that day</b><br>The phrase "on that day" is a prophetic marker often used in eschatological contexts, indicating a specific time of divine intervention. This aligns with the "Day of the Lord" theme found in prophetic literature, such as <a href="/joel/2.htm">Joel 2:1-2</a> and <a href="/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14-18</a>, where God executes judgment and delivers His people. It underscores the certainty and inevitability of God's actions.<p><b>there will be a great earthquake</b><br>Earthquakes in biblical texts often signify God's direct intervention in human affairs, serving as a physical manifestation of His power and presence. In <a href="/revelation/16-18.htm">Revelation 16:18</a>, a great earthquake accompanies the final judgment, drawing a parallel to the events described in Ezekiel. Historically, the region of Israel is seismically active, which adds a layer of realism to the prophecy.<p><b>in the land of Israel</b><br>The land of Israel is central to biblical prophecy and God's covenantal promises. It is the stage for many significant biblical events and is often depicted as the focal point of God's redemptive plan. The mention of Israel here emphasizes the nation's role in eschatological events and God's ongoing relationship with His chosen people, as seen in <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a> and <a href="/romans/11-26.htm">Romans 11:26-27</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, expressing His zeal and anger.
