One Nation, One King and The Everlasting Covenant

Guided to this scripture today:
One Nation Under One King and the Everlasting Covenant

15 The WORD OF THE LORD came to me: 16 “Son of man, TAKE A STICK AND WRITE ON IT ‘Belonging to JUDAH AND THE ISRAELITES associated with him.’ Then TAKE ANOTHER STICK OF WOOD AND WRITE ON IT ‘Belonging to JOSEPH (that is, to Ephraim) AND ALL THE ISRAELITES associated with him.’ 17 JOIN THEM TOGETHER INTO ONE STICK so that they will become one in your hand.

18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ 19 say to them, ‘THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS : I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I WILL MAKE THEM INTO A SINGLE STICK OF WOOD, AND THEY WILL BECOME ONE IN MY HAND’ 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, ‘This is what THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS: I WILL TAKE THE ISRAELITES OUT OF THE NATIONS WHERE THEY HAVE GONE, I WILL GATHER THEM FROM ALL AROUND AND BRING THEM BACK TO THEIR OWN LAND. 22 I WILL MAKE THEM ONE NATION IN THE LAND, on the mountains of Israel. THERE WILL BE ONE KING OVER ALL OF THEM and THEY WILL NEVER AGAIN BE TWO NATIONS OR BE DIVIDED INTO TWO KINGDOMS.. 23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I WILL SAVE THEM FROM ALL THEIR SINFUL BACKSLIDING AND i WILL CLEANSE THEM. THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE AND i WILL BE THEIR GOD.
24 “‘My servant David will be king over them, and THEY WILL ALL HAVE ONE SHEPHERD. THEY WILL FOLLOW MY LAWS AND BE CAREFUL TO KEEP MY DECREES.. 25 THEY WILL LIVE IN THE LAND I GAVE TO MY SERVANT JACOB THE LAND WHERE YOUR ANCESTORS LIVED. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I WILL MAKE A COVENANT OF PEACE WITH THEM; IT WILL BE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 MY DWELLING PLACE WILL BE WITH THEM; I WILL BE THEIR GOD AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE. 28 Then THE NATIONS WILL KNOW THAT I THE LORD MAKE ISRAEL HOLY when my sanctuary is among them forever' (Ezekiel 37:15:28)

My reason for sharing this scripture is to show two points:
God knows our division and the reasons why. He also has made sure we understand that the division is going to be healed; tribes of peoples, brought together as one peoples who are all preserved under God, through David the king (Jesus is a descendant of David who was chosen at the time)
The eternal covenant of peace is promised and the detail of what will take place and how this will come about is clear.

 
So this is the scripture written...Significant message today.

Peace be with you
