The Lord Christ will in His person re-unite two things—the universal headship of man, and the union of nations round Israel as a center. He will be the one man to whom the whole dominion is given; and under Him as the true David, Israel, as well as the various nations with their kings, shall be re-established, each in his own land and his own heritage (as before the time of Nebuchadnezzar), with the exception of Edom, Damascus, Hazor, and Babylon itself—that is, those nations which occupy Israel's territory, and Babylon which had absorbed and taken the place of all the others, and must disappear by the judgment of God to give them His place again.
