Wesley's Notes

1:14 With a tempest - With irresistible force, and surprising swiftness.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

14. Rabbah-the capital of Ammon: meaning "the Great." Distinct from Rabbah of Moab. Called Philadelphia, afterwards, from Ptolemy Philadelphus.

tempest-that is, with an onset swift, sudden, and resistless as a hurricane.

day of the whirlwind-parallel to "the day of battle"; therefore meaning "the day of the foe's tumultuous assault."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:18-21 There shall be abundant Divine influences, and the gospel will spread speedily into the remotest corners of the earth. These events are predicted under significant emblems; there is a day coming, when every thing amiss shall be amended. The fountain of this plenty is in the house of God, whence the streams take rise. Christ is this Fountain; his sufferings, merit, and grace, cleanse, refresh, and make fruitful. Gospel grace, flowing from Christ, shall reach to the Gentile world, to the most remote regions, and make them abound in fruits of righteousness; and from the house of the Lord above, from his heavenly temple, flows all the good we daily taste, and hope to enjoy eternally.
