Yeah, "cost free" is a little absurd; even if we do make the unrealized economic gains they're hoping for, the human cost is there.
Get a grip on objective reality. Nations, wars, plows and pruning hooks are things of the earth.
The Zion of the millennial reign is in the land given to the fathers, Israel, with the throne of the King located in the Temple in Jerusalem located on planet earth.

Isa 9:7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
[Mat 25:31-34, 40-41, 45-46 KJV]
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ...
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ...
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
DAVID RESURRECTED AND RULING
This is where it gets especially interesting.
Ezekiel 37:24–25
This chapter is about the national resurrection of Israel (dry bones vision).
It comes after Israel’s regathering.
Many interpret this as:
- Either Messiah ruling as “David” (typological)
- Or literal David resurrected serving as prince under Messiah
The Hebrew wording reads naturally as literal David.
Jeremiah 30:9
“I will raise up” strongly suggests resurrection language.
Hosea 3:5
This is clearly latter-days language.
I believe the Iranian people have the right to be free. Living under these regimes as a woman, you'd about be better off dead. But I do not believe Jesus will come back one second earlier than was planned.
