Isa 26:12-15 LORD, you will establish peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us. (13) LORD our God, lords other than you have owned us, but we remember your name alone. (14) The dead do not live; departed spirits do not rise up. Indeed, you have punished and destroyed them; you have wiped out all memory of them. (15) You have added to the nation, LORD. You have added to the nation; you are honored. You have expanded all the borders of the land.
In the kingdom believers will enjoy the peace God gives and will recognize God’s work on their behalf. They will affirm that they remained true to God even though they will have been under the domination of others. Those who will seek to dominate the remnant will be dead, under God’s judgment. Sheol shall greet the departed spirits. In contrast the remnant will endure in the land God promised the patriarchs and their descendants.
