9:12 Edom (see 1:11) represents the enemies of God and of Israel (see Isa 34:5-6, 11; 63:1). In the time of restoration, God’s enemies are subject to his people and to God himself. • the nations I have called: God promised Abraham that he would be a blessing to all the people of the earth (Gen 12:2-3). God’s kingdom would embrace the outcasts and foreigners previously excluded (Isa 56; see Acts 8:27-39).
