How is God's support for His prophets, mentioned in the verse, "Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who have believed in the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth," manifested, considering the fate of prophets like Idris, Jesus, and others who were killed or driven out?

Allah's victory for His messengers and the believers in this worldly life manifests in two ways: First, either by exalting the messengers and believers over those who denied them and granting them triumph, or by taking revenge on those who showed enmity towards them by destroying them and saving the messengers, or by taking revenge in this world on those who denied the messengers after their death. The other way is that the victory mentioned in the verse "Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who have believed in the life of this world" might be specific to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and those who believed in him. The ultimate outcome is always for the messengers and believers, in this world and the Hereafter. As for some prophets experiencing killing and displacement, it is by divine decree and destiny to elevate their ranks and to test the believers.
