Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
The verse belongs to a vision of the Lord's glorious coming that portrays His appearing as judgment, in which He advances in anger against the nations and defeats them while going forth to save His people. It applies to the defeat of the Amorites at Gibeon to bring victory and salvation to His people, when He sent hailstones that killed more of the fleeing enemy than Israel's swords did. It was fulfilled there in a wrathful advance to crush the heathen Amorites for deliverance, when the sun and moon held their place at Joshua's word until Israel had fully avenged themselves upon their enemies. The whole hostile host was given into Joshua's hand before evening, proving that Jehovah fought for Israel and hearkened to the voice of a man as on no other day before or after. The verse is one of the Bible's descriptions of the coming day of divine wrath in which He marches through the land and defeats the nations, identified with the seven last plagues that come before Christ's second advent. In that setting His marching through the land in indignation and threshing the heathen in anger comes when the seed is rotten under the clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down, and the corn is withered.
