“HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION. As for that night, let a dark whirlwind seize upon it. For it is written, Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him. Thus a dark whirlwind seizes upon that night, in that the apostate Angel is by that fear…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book IV
