Those who have stood against God’s people will face divine retribution, ensuring that they will no longer disrupt the peace intended for God's chosen. In light of the resurrection hope, as affirmed throughout scripture, believers can rest assured that God's ultimate plan involves a restoration that transcends any earthly tyranny. Isaiah 26:14.
