United Israel

Abrahamic Covenant

we are looking at another part of the vision that God gave to Ezekiel

he was in Babylon in captivity

we learned from the dry bones that Israel was going to be coming back to the land

this today we are looking at another prophecy concerning the return of Israel

we are going to start in Genesis looking at what God has promised

Genesis 13:14–17 LSB

And Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed forever. “And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your seed can also be numbered. “Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you.”

again in 15

Genesis 15:18 LSB

On that day Yahweh cut a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis 17:8 LSB

“And I will give to you and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

So Abraham and his descendants this land to live

forever everlasting

this promise was made to Isaac and Jacob

so we know that Joseph brought Jacob down to Egypt

Joshua brought the people into the the land

time went by and David became their king

God promised David that his desndants would be on the throne forever

followed by Solomon

but when Solomon

but when Solomons son Rehoboam causes the nation to be split in 2

then a man from Ephram

was made king of the north

Ephram was the son of Joseph along with his brother Manasseh was made sons of Jacob

made as 2 of the tribes of Israel

the northern tribes known sometimes as Ephram never was obedient to God

so God raised up the Assyrians to take the north from the land

the tribes of the north were

Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Manasseh, and Ephraim

these are referred to as the Lost Tribes of Israel

Peoples who at various times were said to be descendants of the lost tribes include the Assyrian Christians, the Mormons, the Afghans, the Beta Israel of Ethiopia, the American Indians, and the Japanese.

they are considered lost because there is no record of them returning to Israel

unlike the southern tribes

who were taken by the Babylonians into captivity for their sin

we see them return we see in Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, have them returning and living again in Israel

so this is the background of the scripture that we are looking at this morning

Ezekiel 37 15-28.

Two Sticks

V 15 -16

V 17 -20

magic trick where there are 2 separate sticks

that are magically made into one

God is going to perform magic with the 12 tribes of Israel

who have been separated for millennia

in Israel today i believe all 12 tribes are represented

at the time of Jesus we see in Israel

Luke 2:36 LSB

And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin,

in the end there will be 144000 jewish men sealed

Revelation 7:4–8 LSB

And I heard the number of those having been sealed, 144,000 sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: from the tribe of Judah, 12,000 having been sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000 having been sealed.

V 21-22

I will bring them into the land from around the world

today with the antisemitism against the Jews they do not feel safe where they are living now so since the Palestinian war there has been Jews from around the world are migrating to Israel

AND HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS:

Nearly 30,000 Jews have moved to Israel since October 7. The majority came from the US and France, followed by Canada and the UK. In 2022, it was 73,000, mostly from Ukraine and Russia. The enemy keeps telling us Jews are fleeing Israel but in reality Jews are fleeing to Israel.

Amir Tsarfati

God is bringing the Jews back home

V 21-22

V 23 God will save all at the end of the tribulation

at the beginning of the Millennial kingdom

V 24

My servant David the resurrected David

who was King over the North and southern kingdoms

again 1 Kingdom

V 25

they will live in the Land promised to Abraham Isaac and Jacob

They with David their king under the King of Kings

V 26

this will be a Covenant of Peace

because they deserved it?

because they have lived up to their end of the old covenants?

Revelation 21:1–4 LSB

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain. The first things passed away.”

V 27

all the world will know that Israel is the center of the world because this is where God is

there are some christians who tell us that we are living in the Millennial kingdom right now

some are the same people that are saying that the church has replaced the Jews

and God is through with them

God promised Abraham the land

God promised him the people

God promised David the throne

Forever/ an everlasting covenant
