Isaiah 14:1 ESV
For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and sojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
The Hebrew for “land” is (אֲדָמָה ’ăḏâmâ). Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden and was turned out for disobedience. Israel was placed in the promised land by God and was dispersed for disobedience.
Adam/Israel will return to the Garden/promised land and will join with the body of Christ.
“Sojourners” can be understood as the Gentiles who attach themselves to the tree of life in the body of Christ. They do not have a promised land on earth. That is why they are sojourners in this world. Their promised inheritance is the Lord.
From the stump of Jessie grows the branch of Jesus. He grows into the tree of life. It takes root in Zion and its leaves will be for the healing of the nations.
