Commentary:
The verse means that the "Inevitable Event" referred to in the preceding verse will bring about a great revolution in the lives of men. A new world will come into being, the high and the mighty will be laid low and the despised and downtrodden will be exalted. In fact, the advent of every great Divine Reformer is attended with changes of far-reaching consequences. Elsewhere speaking about the object of Moses’ advent the Quran says:
وَ نُرِیْدُ اَنْ نَّمُنَّ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ نَجْعَلَھُمْ اَئِمَّةً وَّ نَجْعَلَھُمُ الْوٰارِثِیْنَ وَ نُمَکِّنَ لَھُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ
i.e. And We desired to show favour unto those who had been considered weak in the earth, and to make them leaders and to make them inheritors of Our favours, and to establish them in the earth (28:6-7).
The "Inevitable Event" will bring about a great revolution in the lives of men. A new world will come into being; the high and the mighty will be laid low and the oppressed and downtrodden will be exalted.
