"I will make them one nation in the land"

Text: Ezekiel 37:22

BECOMING ONE NATION AGAIN

The Lord God gave a wondrous revelation of His plans concerning Israel. The Lord would gather His people from many countries. He would bring them back to their homeland and cause them to become one nation again.

“Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
‘Surely I will take the children of Israel
from among the nations,
wherever they have gone,
and will gather them from every side
and bring them into their own land;
and I will make them one nation in the land,
on the mountains of Israel;
and one king shall be king over them all;
they shall no longer be two nations,
nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.
They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols,
nor with their detestable things,
nor with any of their transgressions;
but I will deliver them from
all their dwelling places in which they have sinned,
and will cleanse them.
Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God””
