[[Ps-106]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-105]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-107]] --- ### that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A divine decree and prediction that the descendants of the Israelites would be dispersed and exiled among foreign nations due to their ancestors' rebellion. *Historical context*: Theological scholars and historians link this verse to the Assyrian exile of the Northern Kingdom (722 BCE) and the Babylonian exile of the Southern Kingdom (586 BCE). It is also viewed as a long-range prediction of the Roman Diaspora starting in 70 CE, where the Jewish people were scattered globally for centuries. *Related to*: [[Lev-26#v33|Leviticus 26:33]]; [[Deut-28#v64|Deuteronomy 28:64]] ### Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The realization of God's oath that the adult generation of the Exodus would not survive to enter the Promised Land. *Historical context*: This is the fulfillment of the divine judgment recorded in [[Num-14#v28|Numbers 14:28]]-35. Because of their lack of faith at Kadesh Barnea, the entire generation of Israelites aged twenty and older (excluding Joshua and Caleb) died during forty years of wandering in the desert. *Related to*: [[Num-14#v28|Numbers 14:28]]-35 ### That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The establishment of a perpetual legacy and status of righteousness for Phinehas as a result of his intervention at Baal Peor. *Historical context*: This refers to the 'Covenant of Peace' and the 'everlasting priesthood' granted to Phinehas in [[Num-25#v12|Numbers 25:12]]-13. The priestly line of Zadok, which served until the Roman period, traced its lineage and legitimacy back to Phinehas' righteous act. *Related to*: [[Num-25#v10|Numbers 25:10]]-13 ### The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The physical fulfillment of a specific divine judgment against the leaders of a rebellion against Moses. *Historical context*: This event is historically chronicled in [[Num-16#v31|Numbers 16:31]]-33. It served as a supernatural verification of Moses' authority and a fulfillment of the warning that the earth would swallow the rebels as a sign of divine displeasure. *Related to*: [[Num-16#v28|Numbers 16:28]]-30 ### The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The completion of the promise of deliverance for the Israelites and destruction for the Egyptian army. *Historical context*: This fulfills the specific promise made by Moses to the Israelites at the shore of the Red Sea in [[Exod-14#v13|Exodus 14:13]] ('the Egyptians you see today you will never see again'). The subsequent drowning of Pharaoh's army ([[Exod-14#v26|Exodus 14:26]]-28) concluded the Exodus deliverance. *Related to*: [[Exod-14#v13|Exodus 14:13]]-14 --- #ai_prophecy
