Berean Study Bible

You will be visited
The phrase "You will be visited" suggests a divine intervention or encounter. In Hebrew, the word often translated as "visited" is "paqad," which can mean to attend to, muster, or punish. This indicates that the LORD's visitation is not merely a casual appearance but a purposeful and significant event. Historically, God's visitations in the Bible often bring about change, judgment, or deliverance. This phrase sets the tone for a powerful and awe-inspiring encounter with the divine.

by the LORD of Hosts
The title "LORD of Hosts" (Yahweh Sabaoth) emphasizes God's supreme authority and command over the heavenly armies. This title is used to convey God's omnipotence and His ability to execute His will through both celestial and earthly forces. In the context of Isaiah, it reassures the faithful of God's ultimate control over all events, including those that seem chaotic or destructive. It is a reminder of His sovereignty and the assurance that His purposes will prevail.

with thunder
Thunder, in biblical literature, often symbolizes the voice of God or His powerful presence. In Hebrew, "ra'am" is used for thunder, which can also imply a loud, authoritative sound. Thunder is frequently associated with divine revelation or judgment, as seen in the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:16). It serves as a reminder of God's majesty and the awe-inspiring nature of His presence.

and earthquake
Earthquakes in the Bible are often signs of God's power and a precursor to significant divine action. The Hebrew word "ra'ash" denotes a shaking or quaking, symbolizing the upheaval that accompanies God's intervention. Earthquakes can represent both physical and spiritual shifts, indicating that God's presence can alter the very foundations of the earth and human hearts alike.

and loud noise
The phrase "loud noise" underscores the overwhelming and undeniable nature of God's presence. In Hebrew, "kol" can mean voice, sound, or noise, suggesting a powerful auditory experience that commands attention. This noise is not random but purposeful, signifying God's active engagement with His creation and His ability to communicate His will unmistakably.

with whirlwind
A whirlwind, or "se'arah" in Hebrew, is a powerful and often destructive force of nature. It symbolizes God's dynamic and uncontrollable power. Whirlwinds are used in Scripture to depict God's judgment and His ability to sweep away the old to make way for the new. They remind believers of the need to stand firm in faith amidst life's storms, trusting in God's ultimate plan.

and tempest
The term "tempest" refers to a violent storm, emphasizing the intensity of God's intervention. In Hebrew, "sa'ar" conveys the idea of a stormy wind, often used to describe God's judgment or purifying actions. Tempests serve as metaphors for the trials and tribulations that test and refine the faith of God's people, ultimately leading to spiritual growth and renewal.

and flames of consuming fire
Fire, particularly "esh" in Hebrew, is a common biblical symbol for God's holiness and purifying presence. A "consuming fire" indicates a fire that devours impurities, leaving only what is pure and holy. This imagery is used to describe God's judgment and His ability to purify His people. It serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the transformative power of God's love and holiness.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(6) Thou shalt be visited . . .--Better, She (i.e., Jerusalem). The words may be figurative, but they may also be literal. Some terrific storm, acting as an "angel of the Lord" (Isaiah 37:36; Psalm 104:4), should burst at once upon Jerusalem and the hosts that were encamped against her, bringing to her safety, but to them destruction. As in the next verse, the "multitude of all nations" of the great host of Assyria should be as "a dream, a vision of the night."

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. - Thou shalt be visited; literally, shall there be a visitation. On whom the visitation will fall is not expressed; but the context shows that it is on the enemies of Judah. The terrible nature of the visitation is signified by an enumeration of the most fearful of God's judgments - "thunder, earthquake, great noise, whirlwind, tern-pest, and a flame of devouring fire." All the expressions are probably metaphorical.
