Compare all
17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion My aholy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.” 

God Blesses His People

18 And it will come to pass in that day
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A afountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of1 Acacias. 
19 “Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will aacquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;
For the Lord dwells in Zion.”

Joel 3:19

Edom—It was subjugated by David, but revolted under Jehoram (II Chronicles 21:8-10); and at every subsequent opportunity tried to injure Judah. Egypt under Shishak spoiled Jerusalem under Rehoboam of the treasures of the temple and the king's house; subsequently to the captivity, it inflicted under the Ptolemies various injuries on Judea. Antiochus spoiled Egypt (Daniel 11:40-43). Edom was made "desolate" under the Maccabees [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 12.11,12]. The low condition of the two countries for centuries proves the truth of the prediction (compare Isaiah 19:1, etc.; Jeremiah 49:17; Obadiah 1:10). So shall fare all the foes of Israel, typified by these two (Isaiah 63:1, etc.).
