Muhammad reading is useful. Do not give up. The best is to come:

Invincible Love
Phillip John Bareswilt:
I remember sitting in church and Mylon talked about this song given to him by the Lord as he was standing for the manifestation of a new heart, the doctors had told him there was no hope. Oh how love never fails. When he was first diagnosed by the doctors he was told there was no hope, his years of drug abuse had fried his heart, he said he knew Jesus could heal, but he didn’t know if Jesus would heal him. He was on the beach seeking the Lord and who do you think he ran into, she prayed for him and that evening he meet with her husband, and they encouraged him in the Lord about healing, before he left that evening the woman gave him a teaching on the authority of the believer. I remember him saying at a later date that he listened to this teaching for about six months, sometimes as much as eight hrs a day until the healing manifested, a brand new heart.
This is the Jesus that saved me in 1985 and the same one in the book of Acts, doing the same thing today He did several thousand years ago, even though many of His children say it is not so.
Today this man preaches the Gospel, and as we hear continually on this site, just as we did today that it is not the Gospel.
You know what, it is not the Gospel to those that do not believe it, but to those that do, it is the Gospel, there is a good fight of faith but it will not come without a price and the greatest enemy of the truth is those that say they are Christians, usually the world welcomes these truth’s.
Well it has not changed it was the religious that persecuted Jesus when He was on the earth and it still is today, I remember the day He asked me: son who persecuted Me when I was on the earth the most, I had to think a minute and then answered the religious leaders, and He said son it is no different today My Church is my greatest enemy.
Oh that His people would lay down their opinion’s and get to know Him, it could save your life!!
And better than that it would make the devil real mad!!


Brothers, what did Philip mean by saying it? He said that religion cannot save us! Only God can do it. But where is this God? Religion and religious leaders persecuted a Man called Jesus who claimed to be God. He claimed to be God but why? Because the HOLY Scripture which existed many centuries before His birth on the earth told to religious leaders about Him. They were reading about Him the same way like you are reading about Him. He said: I am God. The Holy Scripture said that He is God. But Jewish religious leaders were reading His words and did not see that He is God!
In the Bible there is one incident that shows Jesus as a boy and He was teaching these religious leaders:
“Every year his parents went up to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, according to the custom. After the feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their company, they travelled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and answering questions. When his parents saw him they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But they (Joseph and Mary) did not understand what he was saying to them. Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. (Luke 2:41-51)
The religious leaders thought that He who claimed to be Isa Al Massih is just one of the criminals/cheaters who came to deceive people and get something from them. May be it is power, may be money. Did Jesus get power or money from people who were His listeners? No. He gave them food. It was one of many His miracles. Did He get money from people? No.
He said that “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”Matthew 8:20
Not having His Father on earth, He came to REVEAL us His Father who is God of LOVE.
He descended from His world to shed His LIGHT into the hearts of people.
That’s why God’s light is seen even in Saudi Arabia.
It is a closed country and people are isolated from the TRUTH.
But is it possible to be hidden from the God’s LIGHT? No. God is Omnipresent. He came to people to tell them about the TRUTH and the TRUTH can be ONLY ONE. This Truth is LOVE of God and SALVATION for every Arab and Muslim.
But who was this Man a cheater or really God? How to know it for sure?
Read the HOLY Scripture which existed before His birth on earth and you will even see what He said not being born on earth! How is it possible? Because the Scripture says that He created the universe and He caused the beginning of everything. He said that He is the Beginning and the LIFE. He said that He is the ONLY Way to God. By saying it He rejected all other ways to God. He rejected that the cow worship can lead you to His Father or that Islam could be right. By saying that the TRUTH is ONE, He showed us His Nature LOVE.
He did not get any money from people. But He gave food to people.
He got insults and His body was totally broken like bread broken and shared by people who needed it.
Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written,
‘He (God) gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
Then Jesus said to them,
“Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
And Jesus said to them,
“I am the bread of life.
He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6: 31-40
And as they( disciples) were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26:26
Who was this Man who called God as His Father? He even called the Kingdom of God as His HOME!
Who was this Man if His house was on earth?
Jesus answered,
“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world,
My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews;
but now My kingdom is not from here.” John 18: 36
During His Judgment Pilate said to Him,
“Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
Pilate said to Him,
“What is truth?”
And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them,
“I find no fault in Him at all.
John 18: 37-38

Who was this Man a cheater?
God Himself answered to this question:
When Jesus was 30 years old he went to be baptised by John.
“As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son whom I love, with him I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16-17)
Is this man God? He Himself said YES. That’s why He was killed on the cross!
But where is His Kingdom which He offers to every Arab and every Muslim?
His Kingdom of Heaven will be even on earth!
He is coming back to establish His reign here.
It will be a wonderful time of progress, implemented new ‘alien’ technologies.
The millennium reign of peace.
The Government on earth will be His saints- all His believers who will NOT die anymore because they will be granted new bodies, transformed in the likeness of the body of Jesus and angels. But brothers, He- Jesus- is God of peace.
But why He said that:
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth.
I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
Matthew 10:34-39
What does Jesus mean by saying it?
Jesus means that His SWORD- the Word of God- He Himself- will cause division in families. If you live in Saudi Arabia or in Egypt and your parents do not give you FREEDOM to live as God says. They you should OBEY God and not you father. If you mother makes you to follow Islam, you should GET FREE of the slavery of Islam and live as God Jesus said.
You can loose your life. But you can NOT loose it if God Jesus gives you it.
When this life is finished we will make a step into OUR HOME. To OUR LOVING Father and His Son. God will support us. Our earthly fathers and brothers kill our bodies in implementation of Islam but God have given us eternal life already NOW during our life. Can we loose this GIFT received through the FAITH in Ibn Allah?
What is given by God cannt be stolen or taken from Him!
Is this God Jesus so humble?
Yes. But He is also ALLMIGHTY.
His words, said in the Holy Scripture many centuries before His birth on earth, testify about Him:
Zechariah 2:6

For thus says the LORD of hosts:- WHO IS THE LORD OF HOSTS? JESUS. HE IS ADDRESSEING TO US HERE.
“He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you;- WHO SENT WHOM? ALLAH SENT IBN ALLAH.
for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.- WHO SHALL SHAKE HIS HANDS AGAINST MUSLIM STATES WHO WILL GATHER TOGETHER IN JERUSALEM TO ATTACK JEWS RIGHT BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS? THE ANSWER IS -JESUS HIMSELF! JUST NOTE THAT JESUS IS THE LORD OF HOSTS AND HIS FATHER IS ALSO CALLED THE LORD OF HOSTS! WHY? BECAUSE GOD IS ONE! HERE WE SEE THE UNITY OF GOD.
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion!
For behold,
I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the LORD.- WHO WILL COME? JESUS! BUT HE IS THE LORD. HE IS GOD.
“Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day,
and they shall become My people. - LOOK AGAIN THAT JESUS SAID THAT THEY WILL BE HIS PEOPLE!
And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.- JESUS SAYS HERE THAT THE LORD OF HOSTS HAS SENT HIM.
Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!- OH, BROTHERS, NOTE WHAT THIS GOD SAID- HE GOD JESUS IS AROUSED FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION! JUST NOTE THAT ONLY GOD CAN BE CALLED GOD/LORD AND ONLY GOD CAN HAVE HIS HOLY HABITATION. JUST DO NOT FORGET THAT WE ARE READING NOW THE PROPHECY SAID MANY CENTURIES BEFORE THE BIRTH OF JESUS ON EARTH. AND THAT WE ARE READING ARE WORDS OF GOD!!!

Zechariah 14
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming…
For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem..
And the women ravished.
Then the LORD will go forth- GOD WILL FIGHT AGAINST THE MUSLIM STATES AND IRAN. WHO IS THIS GOD?
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,- GOD WHO WILL FIGHT HAS FEETS AND HIS FEETS WILL STAND IN JERUSALEM! DOES ISLAMIC ALLAH HAVE FEETS? NO. BUT ONLY JESUS HAVE THEM BECAUSE HE WAS BORN ON EARTH IN THE HUMAN FLESH.
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
Thus the LORD my God will come,
And all the saints with You.
And the LORD shall be King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
“ The LORD is one,”
And His name one.-THIS GOD, LORD HAS NAME ONE BECAUSE GOD IS ONE. IT MEANS NAME OF THE JESUS IS ONE!
And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts..
If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
You can say brothers:
Bahira,
God is in Islam. Why you do not see it? If you say God is not there, what do they have nothing? Please understand that Allah is Arabic for the Hebrew name of God Eloheim. And so that is what it all adds up to.
God is Jesus. And Jesus is God. He is the King promised by God many centuries before His birth on earth. He created the universe says the Holy Scripture! Is He is Islam? No! He is not God for Muslims! To get to the Kingdom of Heaven you should be born of God – Jesus said! You should do it!
How?
Repent, confess all your sins to God Jesus and believe that Jesus is God!
God Jesus said:
”I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
The TRUTH is ONE.
The LOVE is ONE and God is ONE.
All other gods who say contrary to the holy words of God are madness created by the fallen angels/demons/jinns.
That’s why God warned us to OBEY Him and not to listen to angels.
As I said yesterday:
If you still insist that you do not need this God,
then where is LOVE to your father and family?
This God is able to give you all His Kingdom.
Look for Him!
He is God of our father Ibrahim!
Look for this God. The hell fire does not look at your ethnicity or money. The hell fire is devouring millions of Muslims. But why you should be among them and your family????!!!
Do not be crazy try to find the TRUTH which will save you!


ﺣﺰﻗﻴﺎﻝ 37

1 وَكَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ فَأَحْضَرَنِي بِالرُّوحِ إِلَى وَسَطِ وَادٍ مَلِيءٍ بِعِظَامٍ،

2 وَجَعَلَنِي أَجْتَازُ بَيْنَهَا وَحَوْلَهَا، وَإِذَا بِهَا كَثِيرَةٌ جِدّاً، تُغَطِّي سَطْحَ أَرْضِ الْوَادِي، كَمَا كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةَ الْيُبُوسَةِ.

3 فَقَالَ لِي «يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، أَيُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَحْيَا هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «يَاسَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ».

4 فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْعِظَامِ وَقُلْ لَهَا: اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الْعِظَامُ الْيَابِسَةُ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ:

5 هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رُوحاً يَدْخُلُ فِيكِ فَتَحْيَيْنِ.

6 وَأَكْسُوكِ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ، وَأَبْسُطُ عَلَيْكِ جِلْداً وَأَجْعَلُ فِيكِ رُوحاً فَتَحْيَيْنِ وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

7 وَفِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، حَدَثَ صَوْتُ جَلَبَةٍ وَزَلْزَلَةٍ، فَتَقَارَبَتِ الْعِظَامُ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ إِلَى عَظْمِهِ،

8 وَاكْتَسَتْ بِالْعَصَبِ وَاللَّحْمِ وَبُسِطَ عَلَيْهَا الْجِلْدُ. إِنَّمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا رُوحٌ

9 فَقَالَ لِي: «تَنَبَّأْ لِلرُّوحِ يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَيَّا يَارُوحُ أَقْبِلْ مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ الأَرْبَعِ وَهُبَّ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَتْلَى لِيَحْيَوْا».

10 فَتَنَبَّأْتُ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ، فَدَخَلَ فِيهِمِ الرُّوحُ فَدَبَّتْ فِيهِمِ الْحَيَاةُ، وَانْتَصَبُوا عَلَى أَقْدَامِهِمْ جَيْشاً عَظِيماً جِدّاً جِدّاً.

11 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذِهِ الْعِظَامُ هِيَ جُمْلَةُ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ عِظَامُنَا وَمَاتَ رَجَاؤُنَا وَانْقَطَعْنَا.

12 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقْلُ لَهُمْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَاشَعْبِي وَأُحْضِرُكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

13 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَفْتَحُ قُبُورَكُمْ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا يَاشَعْبِي.

14 وَأَضَعُ رُوحِي فِيكُمْ فَتَحْيَوْنَ، وَأَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأَنْجَزْتُ مَا وَعَدْتُ بِهِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

15 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

16 «وَأَنْتَ يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، خُذْ لَكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيَهُوذَا وَلأَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، ثُمَّ خُذْ قَضِيباً آخَرَ وَاكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ: هَذَا لِيُوسُفَ قَضِيبُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَكُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ.

17 وَضُمَّهُمَا مَعاً كَقَضِيبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَيُصْبِحَا فِي يَدِكَ قَضِيباً وَاحِداً.

18 وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ أَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ: أَلاَ تُخْبِرُنَا مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا؟

19 فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ قَضِيبَ يُوسُفَ الَّذِي فِي حَوْزَةِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رِفَاقِهِ، وَأَضُمُّ إِلَيْهِ قَضِيبَ يَهُوذَا، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ جَمِيعاً قَضِيباً وَاحِداً فَيُصْبِحُونَ وَاحِداً فِي يَدِي.

20 وَيَكُونُ فِي يَدِكَ، عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمُ الْقَضِيبَانِ اللَّذَانِ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمَا.

21 وَهَا أَنَا أَحْشُدُ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا فِيهَا وَأَجْمَعُهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمْ.

22 وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَعَلَى الْجِبَالِ، تَحْتَ رِئَاسَةِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَلاَ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ أُمَّتَيْنِ، وَلاَ يَنْقَسِمُونَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتَيْنِ.

23 وَلاَ يَتَدَنَّسُونَ بَعْدُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ وَلاَ بِأَيٍّ مِنْ مَعَاصِيهِمْ، بَلْ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ مِنْ مَوَاطِنِ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَأُطَهِّرُهُمْ فَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

24 وَيُصْبِحُ دَاوُدُ عَبْدِي (أَيِ الْمَسِيحُ) مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ جَمِيعاً رَاعٍ وَاحِدٌ فَيُمَارِسُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَيُطِيعُونَ فَرَائِضِي عَامِلِينَ بِهَا.

25 وَيُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَيَسْتَوْطِنُونَ فِيهَا هُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَأَحْفَادُهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَيَكُونُ عَبْدِي دَاوُدُ (أَيِ الْمَسِيحُ) رَئِيساً عَلَيْهِمْ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

26 وَأُبْرِمُ مَعَهُمْ مِيثَاقَ سَلاَمٍ، فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيّاً، وَأُوَطِّنُهُمْ وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ وَأُقِيمُ مَقْدِسِي فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

27 وَيَكُونُ مَسْكِنِي مَعَهُمْ، فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً.

28 فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حِينَ يَكُونُ مَقْدِسِي قَائِماً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».


Ezekiel 37 (New King James Version)
Ezekiel 37
The Dry Bones Live
1 The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.”’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’”
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’— 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.”’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “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; 22 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. 23 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.
24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore
