Second, God would make His people and the places around His hill (Mount Zion, Jerusalem) a blessing to others ( Genesis 12:3). God"s seasonal blessings on Israel, both people and land, would be like the rain, and He would send His blessings down in showers (cf. Acts 3:19-20). The gospel song "There Shall Be Showers of Blessing" comes from this expression. Fruit trees would bear abundantly, and fruits and vegetables and flowers would proliferate in the land (cf. Hosea 2:22; Joel 3:18; Amos 9:13-14; Zechariah 8:12). Even the plants would be secure. [source][source][source]
