God's grace empowers the believer to do God's will. God's glory cannot share the stage with sin. God's judgement is in degrees, to chastise or to cut off completely. God desires fruit, cutting the fruitless branch off the vine and pruning the fruitful one to bear more. The whirlwind is associated with God's Judgement: Ezekiel saw God's throne and glory behind the whirlwind. Judgement is coming, making way for the appearence of the Glory of the Lord!
