Both Judah and
Ephraim shall be re-gathered from among the nations
37:21 And say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold,
[1] I will take the children
of Israel
[a.]
from among the heathen [nations],
[11.] whither they be gone, and
[2] [I] will gather them on every
side, and
[3] [I will] bring them into
their own land:
[4] I will make them one nation
[a.] in the
land
[b.] upon the mountains of Israel [upon the
West Bank, which is biblical Samaria (Ezekiel 38:8)]; and
[5] one king [David (vs.24)] shall be king
to them all: and
[6] they shall be no more two
nations,
[7] neither shall they be divided
[a.]
into two kingdoms any more at all:
37:23 [8] Neither shall they defile themselves any more
[a.]
with their
idols,
[b.] nor with
their detestable things,
[c.] nor with
any of their transgressions: but
[9] I will save them out of all
their dwelling places,
[a.] wherein
they have sinned, and
[10. [I] will cleanse them:
[a.] so shall they be my people,
[b.] and I will be their God.
[11.] David my servant [shall be] king over them; and
[12.] they all shall have one
shepherd [Jesus]:
[13.] they shall also walk in my
judgments,
[a.] and
observe my statutes,
[b.] and do
them.
37:25 And
[14.] they shall dwell in the land
[a.] that I
have given unto Jacob my servant,
[b.] wherein
your fathers have dwelt; and
[15.] they shall dwell therein,
[even] they,
[a.] and their
children,
[b.] and their
children's children
[11.] for ever [Israel
has an earthly hope: the land forever]: and
[16.] my servant David [shall
be] their prince
[a.] for ever. [David has an earthly hope: King over Israel, forever].
God’s everlasting covenant of peace with Israel
37:26 Moreover
[17.] I will make a covenant of peace [Is.
54:10] with them;
[a.] it shall
be an everlasting covenant with
them: and
[18.] I will
[a.] place
them, and
[b.] multiply
them, and will
[c.] set my
sanctuary in the midst of them
[the millennial temple of Ezekiel 48]
[11.] for evermore [worship will never again cease]
37:27 [19] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea,
[20] I will be their God, and
[21] they shall be my people.
37:28 And
[22] the heathen [nations] shall know
[a.] that I
the LORD do sanctify Israel,
[b.] when my
sanctuary shall be in the midst of them
[11.] for evermore.
