Commentators highlight the remarkable precision of this prophecy. The invader conquers the 'glorious land' (Judea) but specifically spares Edom, Moab, and Ammon. Many scholars see this as fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes, who focused his attacks on the Jews while their hostile neighbors, who were allied with him, remained untouched. This specific, unlikely outcome is presented as strong evidence of the Bible's divine inspiration.
