“But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.”
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; together shall they despoil the children of the east; they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon shall obey them—the promise that in the messianic age, Israel will recover dominion over the surrounding nations and territories. The flying suggests rapid conquest and effortless victory, indicating that messianic restoration includes the restoration of Israelite political dominance. This verse suggests that the vision of peace includes vindication against Israel's enemies.
