The nations roar and murmur like the sea (Isaiah 17:12), like the formless waters of the first creation (Genesis 1:2).
Then God speaks, and the nations scatter like chaff and become as helpless as dust in a tornado (v. 13). The Lord sends out His Rebuke and His Wind, and the nations are calmed.
God sends out His eternal Rebuke and His eternal Wind, and the world is renewed. Because Yahweh, Rebuke, and Wind are Father, Son, and Spirit.
