Historically, it points to a return to the prosperity and stability experienced during the reigns of David and Solomon. The "days of old" evoke a time when Israel was united and flourishing, suggesting a future where the nation will once again experience peace and blessing. This promise is consistent with God's covenantal faithfulness, as seen in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/30-3.htm">Deuteronomy 30:3-5</a>, where God promises to restore the fortunes of His people. It also foreshadows the ultimate restoration through Christ, who brings spiritual renewal and fulfillment of God's promises.<p><b>and their congregation will be established before Me</b><br>The term "congregation" refers to the assembly of God's people, indicating a reestablishment of communal worship and identity. This establishment "before Me" signifies divine approval and presence, reminiscent of the tabernacle and temple where God dwelt among His people. Theologically, it underscores the importance of worship and community in the life of God's people. This promise aligns with prophecies like <a href="/ezekiel/37-26.htm">Ezekiel 37:26-28</a>, where God promises to dwell with His people forever. It also points to the New Testament church, the body of Christ, which is established in His presence (<a href="/matthew/18-20.htm">Matthew 18:20</a>).<p><b>and I will punish all their oppressors</b><br>This phrase assures divine justice against those who have wronged God's people. Historically, Israel faced numerous oppressors, including the Assyrians and Babylonians. God's promise to punish these oppressors reflects His role as a just judge who defends His people. This theme is echoed in passages like <a href="/isaiah/49-25.htm">Isaiah 49:25-26</a>, where God promises to contend with those who contend with His people. It also prefigures the ultimate victory over sin and evil through Christ, who defeats the powers of darkness (<a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>).
