OUR LORD WHO RESTORES HIS PEOPLE FROM USURPERS AND PLUNDERERS

Ezekiel chapter 36 verses 4 - 5 says this;

therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you

—  this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’

This passage is a prophecy spoken to the  mountains of Israel.  The mountains, which are the kingdoms whose foundations are the ancient heights of Israel, are given a solemn promise by the Lord that he will speak against the nations that have brought ruin to the towns and countrysides of Israel.

The nations who gleefully plundered and ridiculed the lands of Israel and took them for their own possession, will be zealously confronted by the Sovereign Lord.

The Lord will take action against those who over-run Israel and swears that he will invert Israel's plight so that those who plunder and ridicule Israel will themselves be plundered and ridiculed. As it says in verse 7;

Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.

Amen.
