Isaiah 27:6

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root, literally, "In the coming days Jacob shall take root," the Church of God being established. Israel shall blossom and bud, the believers being active in good works, and fill the face of the world with fruit, Romans 11:12. The believers of all times are rich in good works, to the glory of God.
