The conclusion of the prophetic vision of redemption brings a dramatic reversal of fortunes. The power dynamics between the Israelites and the nations that once sought their destruction, led by Edom, will be completely overturned. Following the promise to rebuild the fallen kingdom of David, the ultimate purpose is revealed: the Israelites will once again rule over their enemies. This mirrors the historical triumphs of King David, who successfully subdued Edom and stationed garrisons throughout their territory [רד"ק]. This future triumph is guaranteed because God Himself is the orchestrator of these events, possessing the absolute power to bring His decrees to reality [רד"ק, מצודת דוד].
The primary approach among commentators is that this future inheritance is a matter of cause and effect. The Israelites will take possession of the remnants of Edom and all other nations specifically because they are the people upon whom God's name rests [רש"י, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
Other scholars interpret the events differently, suggesting that God's name is actually associated with the foreign nations themselves, though they differ on how this occurs. One perspective explains that these nations carry God's name because He previously used them as His chosen instruments to punish the Israelites [אברבנאל]. Another view looks toward the End of Days, following the war of Gog and Magog. At that time, nations refusing to recognize God will be destroyed. The surviving remnant of Edom and the other nations will be those who finally accept the true faith. By embracing God, His name will be called upon them, and they will become the inheritance of the Messiah [מלבי"ם].
The specific fate of Edom is notably severe, as their destruction will be more absolute than that of any other nation [אברבנאל]. Ultimately, the Edomite people will be completely wiped out, leaving no human survivors, allowing the Israelites to take possession of their territory. Yet, the Israelites will only inherit the usable remnants of the land. Large portions of Edom will remain eternally desolate, serving as a permanent warning to future generations of the consequences for the evil committed against the Israelites [רד"ק].
Regarding when this grand vision takes place, some suggest it was partially realized in ancient times following the death of the Assyrian king Sennacherib. However, there is broad agreement that the most complete and accurate fulfillment of this prophecy is reserved for the days of the Messiah [אבן עזרא].
