54:17 Condemn - And I will deliver thee not only from the fury of war, but also from the strife of tongues. This blessed condition, is the portion allotted them by me.
Righteousness - The reward of their righteousness. Of me - I give it, and I will continue it to them.
Isaiah 54:15, "Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake."
Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
In both these Scriptures, God's Promise to Israel (& by extension, to the Church), tell us similar Truths. The enemies of Israel & the Church (those that come against God's people), might surely gather against us & even attack us, but if we remain true & faithful to the Lord, He will keep us & protect us. Of course, we know that many of God's people have suffered & died by the hands of wicked men, but even though God had not sent them to come against us, He has allowed it & that so to fulfil His purposes. Ultimately, God's enemies will fall - their plans & strategies will fail. They will one day stand before the God Who judges righteously & His people will be the victors as we attain that final peace & rest in His Presence.
