Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make
thee desolate. As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house
of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou
shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and
they shall know that I am the Lord (verses 14-15).
The time is coming when the whole earth will rejoice. Moses in his
prophetic Song spoke of this: "Rejoice O ye nations, with His people;
for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and will render vengeance
to His adversaries, and will be merciful unto His land, and to His
people" (Deut. xxxii:43). When the Lord comes and delivers His earthly
people and brings them back to their land all will be completely
reversed. Israel now mourning and suffering will rejoice and all their
enemies shall mourn forever, on account of God's righteous judgments.
Then will the world know that He is Jehovah.
