“Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.”
The promise that all the people will be righteous, inherit the land forever, and become the shoot and handiwork of YHWH indicates eschatological transformation of human nature. The assertion that all will be righteous establishes that salvation includes moral transformation, not merely external elevation. The inheritance of the land forever signals permanent restitution of Abrahamic promise. The identification of the people as YHWH's handiwork asserts their status as divine creation and possession. This verse crystallizes post-exilic hope: the restored community embodies moral and eschatological perfection.
