In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit

Isaiah 27:2-13

In that day— Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continuallyI guard it day and night so that no one may harm it. I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fireOr else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with meyes, let them make peace with me.”

In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her?

By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones to be like limestone crushed to pieces, no Asherah pole] or incense altars will be left standing.

When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.

In that day the Lord will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one. And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Why?

The love of the Lord never leaves away from Israel, even God punished them but the Lord still gives them the way to return and give Jacob root to grow up fruit and blossom. 

All of the defile things like Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.

To Israel, the Lord struck her is not like He struck down other countries.

How?

In God's righteousness is always with much love. Don't let our Lord worry about us and keep walking close with the Lord!
