When his people Israel kept his law in the Sinai wilderness, God empowered them to conquer the land he had promised their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as a covenant blessing. On a par, just as Joshua led Israel’s conquest of the Promised Land, and as he vanquished the Amalekites in the Valley of Gibeon, so God’s end-time servant reconquers his people’s promised lands from their Assyrian overlords. On their return home, a millennial age begins and they inherit the earth.
Isaiah 28:21Jehovah will rise up as he did on Mount Perazim, and be stirred to anger, as in the Valley of Gibeon.
Isaiah 41:12, 15Whoever wars against you shall be reduced to nothing. . . . I will make of you a sharp-toothed threshing sledge of new design, full of spikes: you shall thresh mountains to dust and make chaff of hills.
Isaiah 11:13–14Ephraim’s jealousy shall pass away and the hostile ones of Judah be cut off; Ephraim will not envy Judah, nor Judah resent Ephraim. But they will swoop on the Philistine flank toward the west, and together plunder those to the east; [they will take] Edom and Moab at hand’s reach, and the Ammonites will obey them.
Isaiah 49:17Your sons shall hasten your ravagers away — those who ruined you shall depart from you.
Isaiah 54:2–3Expand the site of your tent; extend the canopies of your dwellings. Do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you shall spread abroad to the right and to the left; your offspring shall dispossess the nations and resettle the desolate cities.
