In biblical literature, storms often represent God's power and wrath (e.g., <a href="/job/38.htm">Job 38:1</a>, <a href="/nahum/1-3.htm">Nahum 1:3</a>). The imagery of a storm conveys the overwhelming and unstoppable nature of God's actions. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God as a righteous judge who acts against sin and injustice.<p><b>has gone out with fury</b><br>The phrase emphasizes the intensity and purposefulness of God's judgment. The term "fury" indicates a righteous anger directed towards sin, reflecting God's holiness and justice. This is consistent with other Old Testament passages where God's wrath is depicted as a response to covenant unfaithfulness (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/29-28.htm">Deuteronomy 29:28</a>, <a href="/isaiah/13-9.htm">Isaiah 13:9</a>).<p><b>a whirlwind swirling down</b><br>The whirlwind is a powerful and destructive force, often used in scripture to describe God's presence and action (e.g., <a href="/2_kings/2.htm">2 Kings 2:1</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/1-4.htm">Ezekiel 1:4</a>). It suggests suddenness and inescapability, reinforcing the idea that God's judgment is both imminent and unavoidable. The swirling motion implies chaos and upheaval, which are common consequences of divine judgment.<p><b>upon the heads of the wicked</b><br>This specifies the target of God's judgment: the wicked. In the context of Jeremiah, the wicked often refers to those who have turned away from God's covenant, including false prophets and corrupt leaders (<a href="/jeremiah/23-11.htm">Jeremiah 23:11-14</a>). The phrase "upon the heads" indicates direct and personal accountability, underscoring the biblical principle that individuals are responsible for their actions and will face consequences accordingly (e.g., <a href="/ezekiel/18-20.htm">Ezekiel 18:20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of warning and judgment to the people of Judah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who is depicted as executing judgment against the wicked.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>Those who have turned away from God's commandments and are subject to His judgment.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_storm/whirlwind.htm">The Storm/Whirlwind</a></b><br>A metaphor for God's powerful and unstoppable judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, often the primary audience of Jeremiah's prophecies.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_righteous_judgment.htm">God's Righteous Judgment</a></b><br>The imagery of a storm highlights the certainty and intensity of God's judgment against sin.
