Neither interpretation is conclusive from a grammatical standpoint, and in fact the two may not be mutually exclusive. Some, like H. Hübner, who argue strongly against the temporal reading, nevertheless continue to give the phrase a temporal significance, saying that God will save all Israel in the end (Gottes Ich und Israel [FRLANT], 118).

³ tn Grk “the wrath,” referring to God’s wrath as the remainder of the verse shows.

⁴ sn A quotation from Deut 32:35.
