So those who had been anointed as Israelites in the pre-existence will finally come into their own and occupy all those cities which were lost anciently to the Assyrians. Isaiah declared that in the day of the Lord's power he will lop off the boughs of those who stood tall in defiance against him. These high ones will be hewn down and the mighty will be humbled. As we review God's prophecies connected with the Second Coming we find there will be a massive destruction as the "wicked slay the wicked" with their weapons of iron. The Lord will also use his mighty power to complete the cleansing of the earth preparatory to the ushering in of the Millennium.
