Israel’s Millennial Rest–increased

"The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life" (Psa_128:5).

Psalms 128 anticipates the time of Israel’s happiness. It looks on to the day when the Lord is once more with His people. Then Israel will fear the Lord and walk in His ways.

What wonderful things are spoken of Israel. She shall be increased. Both the fruit of her vine and the labor of her hands shall prosper. Israel shall be as a fruitful vine. Her children shall be "like olive plants round about her table." She will see her children’s children, and peace will be upon Israel.

The walls of Jerusalem shall yet be extended by reason of her prosperity. Her land will be too small that she may dwell therein.

When Christ comes, Israel will be increased. She will possess all the land promised to Abraham. Her glory and her largeness will surpass even the days of former greatness, when Solomon reigned in Israel.
