Still Making Money From Old Worn Out Theories
When Is Israel Ever to Rule Over Anyone?
email from Mike Smith

I have a question.  While reading Isaiah last evening, a passage caught my eye, one that I've read dozens of times, but last night it got my attention.

“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”  Isa. 14:2

The context is set in 14:1: “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. “And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”  Isa. 14:2

Now, according to Scofield, this is a prophetic passage to be done in the Millennium.  My question (or more of a thought) is when is Israel ever to rule over anyone?

That’s my story and I’m stick’n to it.
