Ezekiel 35:10

"Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there: therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge them. And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour."

"These two nations and these two countries ..." (Ezekiel 35:10). These are Israel and Judah, the covenant people after the division of the monarchy, the northern and the southern Israels, Samaria and Jerusalem.

"Whereas Jehovah was there ..." (Ezekiel 35:10). True enough, God was in Palestine; but is he not also in every other place in all the earth? Jonah fled to Tarshish (or was trying to do so) "from the presence of Jehovah"; but he found out that God's presence was not limited to Palestine. God is not only the God of Palestine, but the God of all the world and of all humanity.

"Thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel ..." (Ezekiel 35:12) The revilings were bad enough, but Edom's verbal assault upon the mined countries was followed by their moving militarily against them. It appears that they actually penetrated and occupied Palestine as far south as Hebron.
