Verse 3
The repetition of the revelation of this judgment (cf. Isaiah 24:1), with the assurance that the Lord announced it, confirms its certainty (cf. 2 Peter 3:5-7; Revelation 6; Revelation 8-9; Revelation 15-16; Revelation 21:1). The fact of the earth’s destruction, rather than the precise methods and instruments He will use, were the focus of this prophet’s revelation. Later revelation provided more detail. These things would happen simply because the Lord had spoken (cf. Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6; Genesis 1:9; Genesis 1:14; Genesis 1:20; Genesis 1:24; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:14; Genesis 3:16-17; Genesis 3:22).
