2 Chronicles 20:1-30 contains one of the most remarkable narratives of God’s deliverance of His people in all of Scripture. Further, within the divine narrative, the student of the Word of God has what appears to be prophetic implications at their disposal.
In the same approach as our article, Prophetic Imageries in Esther, we will explore and assess the stunning parallels between God’s great victory over Judah’s enemies in the days of King Jehoshaphat and that of the Second Coming of Christ, as He comes to destroy His and Israel’s enemies. In this study, as with Prophetic Imageries in Esther, we will not be going through the entire account, but taking select passages and offering commentary along with corroborating Scripture.
Fascinatingly, some of these Prophetic Reflective Foregleams in 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 are exactly as our title suggests – that is, a mirror image of the prophetic future being a reflection from the past.
For example, our first Prophetic Reflective Foregleam of note is that in this miraculous event, the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem are living in their own land and will be coming out of their habitations in the Promised Land, while at the Second Coming of Christ, the remnant of Israel that inhabited Judah and Jerusalem will be living in the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir during the Great Tribulation following the Abomination of Desolation (Matthew 24:15-21, Revelation 12:6, etc.) and will be following their Lord and Savior into the Promised Land. This is an example of “a mirror image of the prophetic future being a reflection from the past.”
Other passages within the 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 account, on the other hand, present more direct Prophetic Reflective Foregleams that are not mirror images of each other, per se, but are to be understood as quite linear in their reflectiveness of each other.
In this article, we will be studying topically in facilitating our attempt to communicate the Prophetic Reflective Foregleams we have observed within our eschatological understandings.
Underlined Scripture passages are my own emphasis.
The Enemies
“It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.” – 2 Chronicles 20:1
In 2 Chronicles 20, the enemy nations that are coming to war against the inhabitants of the children of Judah are Israel’s inveterate enemies of Moab, Ammon, and Edom [Mt. Seir (vs. 10)]. These three nations, descended from Abraham’s nephew Lot (Moab and Ammon) and Jacob’s brother Esau (Edom/Mt. Seir), have always despised Israel’s God, His chosen people, and coveted the land God gave to Israel for themselves.
Prophetically, these three ancient enemy nations who incessantly hated Israel are representative of all the nations of Earth at the end of the Tribulation that will also despise Israel’s God and His chosen people, and will come to Jerusalem and into Judea en masse, emanating down and around the Dead Sea/Salt Sea all the way to Bozrah in modern-day southern Jordan.
King Jehoshaphat did what needs to be done by every believer in the Lord in every trying circumstance: He offered heartfelt prayers to the God of Israel!
Prayers Offered to God as Creator, King, and Redeemer
“And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen [nations]? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?” – 2 Chronicles 20:5-7
King Jehoshaphat reminds the Lord that Israel, at God’s command, allowed these three nations – who would become a real threat to the nation in the near future and beyond – to exist on their borders when Israel entered the Promised Land under Moses and Joshua (not to mention that Israel lived amongst a remnant of Canaanites that were never totally destroyed as God commanded them), just as Israel today (though not at God’s command) allows their enemies not only to live on their borders, but to live within their borders. The parallels to the threats of ancient Israel and modern-day Israel are striking in this regard.
One cannot help but consider Jehoshaphat’s prayer, made in the city of Jerusalem in the Temple, to be a Prophetic Reflective Foregleam of the prayers that remnant Israel will be offering to God before Messiah returns while waiting for Him in the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir. Certainly, remnant Israel will be petitioning the Lord and reminding God that truly He rules “… over all the kingdoms of the heathen [nations]… and in [His] hand is… power and might, so that none is able to withstand [Him].”
Furthermore, remnant Israel’s prayers will assuredly be reiterating how God in Israel’s past “didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever,” reciting the Lord’s covenantal promises concerning Israel and the Promised Land.
Due to the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ from Christians before the resurrection/rapture of the church and the materials they will have left behind, the powerful testimony of The 144,000 Israeli Witnesses and The Two Witnesses in the first half of the Tribulation, the preaching of the gospel by an angel from heaven unto the whole Earth at the midway point of the Tribulation, the witnessing of the multitudes who will come to Jesus during the Tribulation, and Israel’s recognition that Antichrist was not their “Messiah” or friend, Israelis from throughout the world will have finally come to saving faith in Messiah Yeshua.
For at this time “… all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer [Messiah Yeshua], and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” (Romans 11:26-27). Irreversibly and passionately, the Israeli remnant will be earnestly praying to “Abba our Father, the Father of our LORD Yeshua the Messiah” – Abba Avinu, Avi Yeshua HaMashiach Adoneinu – while having learned from the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) Scriptures that their Lord and Savior is soon to come back to deliver them from their enemies, just as King Jehoshaphat was praying so long ago!
Petition for Israel’s Covenantal Possession of the Promised Land
“And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.” – 2 Chronicles 20:10-11
Observe that the enemies of God’s people in 2 Chronicles 20:10-11 are determined “to come to cast us [Judah/Jerusalem] out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.” In the case of remnant Israel at the end of the Tribulation, they have already been “cast out of [their] possession, which God hast given [them] to inherit,” following the Abomination of Desolation, so that God would draw them back to Himself and their collective acceptance of Messiah Yeshua, whom they had rejected up to that point. But God is faithful in that, when remnant Israel comes to the end of themselves and accepts Yeshua as their Messiah, God will once again, for the very last time, give Israel back the Promised Land “which [God] hast given [them] to inherit.”
Israel will finally and irrevocably acquire by the Lord’s powerful hands the borders promised to them, and Israel will be the head of all nations with their ruling and reigning Messiah, Creator, Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and King in the Messianic Millennial Kingdom!
Prayer for God’s Judgment against Israel’s Enemies
“O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.” – 2 Chronicles 20:12
Just as King Jehoshaphat and Judah had “no might against this great company that cometh against [them], neither [did they] know [what they should] do,” so too will remnant Israel be in distress as they see the hordes of Antichrist drawing near to them as they are hiding out in Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir, for the enemies who are amassed from Jerusalem to Bozrah will be closing in on them, whether these armies are aware of it or not.
Nevertheless, because of their newfound faith and trust in Messiah Yeshua and His promises to His beloved people, Israel knows that Messiah is coming back to destroy their enemies, as God had done to the armies of Moab, Ammon, and Edom in the days of Jehoshaphat so long ago!
The Location
“Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.” – 2 Chronicles 20:2
Why are we comparing the locations mentioned in 2 Chronicles 20 where the armies of Moab, Ammon, and Edom were gathered together in the days of King Jehoshaphat with the hordes who will have taken the Mark of the Beast and are loyal to Antichrist will gather together to battle Jesus, attempting to keep the Lord out of Jerusalem and Judea and to prevent remnant Israel from returning to their God-given land at Messiah’s Second Coming?
Well, note our text verse that says, “There cometh a great multitude [Moab, Ammon, and Edom] against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.”
“Engedi” is located on the western shore of the Dead Sea/Salt Sea in Israel. “Hazazontamar” is, as the text says, another name for “Engedi.” “Hazazontamar” or “Engedi” is believed by some to be not far from where Sodom and Gomorrah was located and may also be the northern edge of the perpetually visible graveyard that we studied in Isaiah 66:24 – Corpses and The Worm That Never Dies.
The Dead Sea/Salt Sea has a direct association with the Second Coming of Christ, which we will document more thoroughly in the section entitled The Valley of Berachah and The Valley of Jehoshaphat.
In 2 Chron. 20:16, we are given two other locations for our consideration.
“To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.” – 2 Chronicles 20:16
“The cliff of Ziz,” according to Topical Bible: Ziz: A Pass in the Territory of the Tribe of Judah, “… is believed to be located near the wilderness of Jeruel, which is thought to be in the vicinity of the Dead Sea, southeast of Jerusalem. The exact location of Ziz is not definitively known today, but it is generally considered to be part of the rugged terrain that characterizes the Judean wilderness. This area would have been strategically significant due to its natural defenses and its position as a route for armies moving toward Jerusalem.”
Bible Map: Jeruel (Ziz) (bibleatlas.org), has the following to say regarding “Jeruel”: “Jahaziel prophesied that King Jehoshaphat should meet the hordes of Moabites and Ammonites, after they had come up by the “ascent of Ziz,” “at the end of the valley (i.e. wady), before the wilderness of Jeruel” (2 Chronicles 20:16). The particular part of the wilderness intended is unknown. Cheyne (Encyclopedia Biblica) thinks this may be an error for the Jezreel of Judah, mentioned in Joshua 15:56.”
I noticed in my research of “Ziz” and “Jeuel” that directly west of Engedi is the city of Zif or Ziph, and directly west of Zif or Ziph is the city of Jezreel of Judah. These three locations are in a direct line from the western shore of the Dead Sea/Salt Sea westward. If Ziz was originally Zif or Ziph and Jeuel, as Cheyne (Encyclopedia Biblica) suggests, was originally Jezreel of Judah in the earliest autographs of the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures), then this would make sense, since these two locations are only mentioned in Scripture in this one verse.
Nonetheless, one thing we do know is that the Moabite, Ammonite, and Edomite host was a “great multitude” gathered together in this region on the western side of the Dead Sea/Salt Sea. We will have more on why this strategic location is important concerning Christ’s Second Coming momentarily.
The Battle Belongs to the Lord
“And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.” – 2 Chronicles 20:13
In my mind’s eye, I can see all of exiled Israel in the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir , standing “with their little ones, their wives, and their children” patiently and eagerly watching and waiting for “the Lord” to return and fight for them against their enemies!
“And he [Jahaziel] said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” – 2 Chronicles 20:15
Just as “Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph,” declared God’s truth by “the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Chronicles 20:14) to the “inhabitants of Jerusalem, and king Jehoshaphat,” assuredly one or more of the leaders of remnant Israel, just before Messiah comes back at the last moment to deliver His people who have been supernaturally protected up to this point in Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir, will stand up, inspired by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and proclaim the same truth to the remnant, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” And undeniably it will be!
“Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” – 2 Chronicles 20:17
Judah and Jerusalem in Jehoshaphat’s day would “not need to fight in this battle,” nor will remnant Israel at the end of the Tribulation need to fight in the battle to save them from their enemies, for they shall “see the salvation of the Lord with [them].” They will not “be dismayed,” for remnant Israel will “go out against [their enemies], for the Lord will be with [them].”
Worshiping the Lord
“And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.” – 2 Chronicles 20:18
One can envision remnant Israel, when they shall “see the salvation of the Lord,” also bowing their heads with their faces to the ground as “all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem [will fall] before the Lord, worshipping the Lord,” Yeshua HaMashiach, when they see Him returning in glory!
God’s Defeat of Israel’s Enemies
“And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.” – 2 Chronicles 20:24
Harkening to the prayers and petitions of His people, God defeated and destroyed the enemies of Judah and Jerusalem after assuring them that the battle belonged to Him!
When it comes to our continuing Prophetic Reflective Foregleams, we read of the massacre of Messiah’s enemies at His return in many passages, with perhaps the most comprehensive being the following:
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
“And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” – Revelation 19:11-21
Though the methods that God used to destroy His and Israel’s enemies are different in the days of King Jehoshaphat and the return of Messiah, the deadly results are the same.
[For some of our major studies on the details of the Second Coming of Christ, please see A Study of Zechariah 14:1-11 and A Study of Zechariah 14:12-21, The Mark of the Beasts, and The Kings of the East: Mission Impossible.]
Israel Gathering the Spoil of Those Who Would Destroy Them
“And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.” – 2 Chronicles 20:25
Judah was indeed blessed with the spoils of their adversaries after God Himself delivered them from their enemies; after all, it took them three days to gather the plunder!
The returning remnant of Israel from the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir, following behind the King of kings and Lord of lords, will also have a great spoil to take, not only from the dead, but also from those who had ruthlessly taken their possessions, habitations, and land during the Great Tribulation.
Divine justice by the Lord will be unyielding, relentless, and severe upon those hateful people who have defied and despised the God of Israel, usurped and taken over His land, and sought to annihilate His chosen people with national genocide!
“… and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.” – Zechariah 14:14b
“Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.” – Jeremiah 30:16
“For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
“And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.” – Zechariah 2:8-13
Not only will the Israeli remnant in the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir take a spoil from the defeated armies of Antichrist, the other remnant of Israel – those who had been dispersed into the nations of the world as slaves to the Gentiles – will receive a spoil from the hands of their masters before they are gathered together by the Lord’s holy angels and brought to Israel!
Together, the spoil remnant Israel will take back from those who robbed them and the spoil they take from the armies of the world who worshiped Antichrist and took his Mark of The Beast, along with the spoil the rest of remnant Israel who were delivered to the nations as slaves, will be immense!
The Valley of Berachah and The Valley of Jehoshaphat
“And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.” – 2 Chronicles 20:26
“Berachah” in Hebrew is the proper name 1294 בְּרָכָה “bᵊrāḵâ” derived from 1288 בָּרַךְ “bāraḵ” which, in context, means to kneel, bless (God), blessing.
Kneeling to and blessing God for His sovereign miracles of protection and victory over their enemies is certainly what Judah did on this illustrious day!
In connection with our Prophetic Reflective Foregleams, we have the following to share with the reader.
In A Study of Zechariah 14:1-11, along with other articles, we included the following map that shows the area where the hordes of Antichrist’s followers will congregate at the Lord’s Second Coming. From Bozrah in the south/southeast in modern-day southern Jordan, where Messiah will begin His campaign (Isaiah 63:1-6), on to and wrapping around the Dead Sea/Salt Sea in Judah and going north/northwest straight up to Jerusalem is the vast area where the enemies of God will be amassed as they seek to thwart the Second Coming of Messiah Yeshua.
The midst of the enemy multitudes that are spread out from Jerusalem to Bozrah at the end of the Tribulation is obviously in the Dead Sea/Salt Sea region; more specifically, the western shore of the Dead Sea/Salt Sea, near Engedi, where the armies of Moab, Ammon, and Edom were congregated in 2 Chronicles 20.
As the Lord leads His heavenly armies and remnant Israel, destroying His enemies single-handedly up from Bozrah, around the Dead Sea/Salt Sea and coming up to the western shoreline at or around Engedi – and the cliff of Ziz/Zif, Jeuel/Jezreel of Judah – is when and where I suspect Messiah will allow Israel to begin taking vengeance on their enemies who have taken their country, homes, and possessions for the past three and one-half years, “devour[ing] all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left,” as they make their way from Judah up to the Holy City of Jerusalem together with the Lord.
“And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.
“The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.” – Zechariah 12:5-7
For me, this is so reminiscent of the vengeance the Jews in the days of Esther inflicted on their enemies, which sought to destroy them at the instigation of Haman:
“Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.” – Esther 9:5
And, as with many battles ancient Israel waged against their enemies, the Lord will lead them in the battle and fight with them against their adversaries!
The Valley of Berachah, thought by some, including myself, also came to be known as The Valley of Jehoshaphat, for obvious reasons.
Henry Morris’ short note on 2 Chronicles 20:26, in the Henry Morris Study Bible, concurs with our supposition:
The Hebrew word, “berachah,” means “blessing.” This valley was evidently so identified with Jehoshaphat that, as a result of the great deliverance there, it later came to be known as “the valley of Jehoshaphat.”
The Prophet Joel connects The Valley of Jehoshaphat/The Valley of Berachah (a.k.a. The Kidron Valley) as ground zero for God’s concluding wrath against His and Israel’s enemies within the day of the Lord at Messiah’s Second Coming as He takes back the Holy City of Jerusalem for Himself and His chosen people, Israel.
“Let the heathen [nations] be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge [vindictive, condemning punishment at final judgment] all the heathen round about.
“Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” – Joel 3:12-14
Thus, in our view, linking The Valley of Jehoshaphat with The Valley of Berachah in the days of King Jehoshaphat is quite reasonable.
The Valley of Jehoshaphat would be the last leg that began at Bozrah of Messiah’s destruction of His enemies as He enters Judah, going on towards Jerusalem, with remnant Israel and the armies of heaven following close behind. Antichrist and the False Prophet will be awaiting His imminent arrival in this prophetic valley, no doubt in great consternation, anxiety, and fear.
Why is this valley the optimum location for Antichrist, the False Prophet, and their personal armies to be congregated and stationed, awaiting the returning King? Because The Valley of Berachah/The Valley of Jehoshaphat (a.k.a. The Kidron Valley) is right in between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, and the Scriptures clearly state that Yeshua is returning to Zion, the Holy City of Jerusalem, and will set His feet down on the Mount of Olives when He gets there – and Messiah’s enemies will know that!
Israel Returning Home with the Joy of the Lord
“Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.” – 2 Chronicles 20:27
Just like in the days of Esther, and especially at the end of the Tribulation, Judah and Jerusalem did rejoice for “for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.”
King Jehoshaphat, as a type of King Yeshua, was “in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies,” just as King Yeshua will be “in the forefront of them [the returning remnant of Israel from the wilderness mountains of Petra, es Sela, and Mt. Seir], to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.”
The bride of Christ and the rest of the resurrected redeemed will have a front row seat to this wonderful and praiseworthy spectacle!
There will indeed be much praise and worship for the returning remnants of Israel following the Second Coming of Messiah Yeshua; but there will also be a national mourning for Israel that must also take place. You can read more about this national mourning of Israel in Zechariah 12: The Second Coming and The Mourning.
Following the mourning, however, will again come the praise and worship due to Messiah Yeshua, Israel’s Redeemer and Savior, as the Messianic Millennial Kingdom is set to rise with Yeshua taking His rightful place on the throne of David in the Holy City of Jerusalem, where He will rule and reign with a rod of iron.
Fantastically, we, the bride of Christ, along with the twelve disciples and the rest of the resurrected Saints, will have the immense privilege of ruling and reigning with Him!
Israel’s Kingdom Safe and Secure from Their Enemies
“And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.” – 2 Chronicles 20:29
“The kingdoms of those countries” throughout the world who survived the Tribulation and those born during the Messianic Millennial Kingdom will also have “the fear of God” when they will have “heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel”!
“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
“In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.” – Jeremiah 3:17-18
“So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.” – 2 Chronicles 20:30
Just as “the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about,” so, too, will the Lord Himself find the “realm” of His Messianic Millennial Kingdom “quiet, for his God [will give] Him rest round about.”
What a glorious thousand years this will be!
