“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.” Ezekiel 37:25

The land given to Jacob is known as the promised land, the land of Israel. We also know that the Jewish people were regathered to the earthly promised land of Israel in 1948, and that is known as the State of Israel. We also certainly know that the State of Israel is not the forever promised land, and David is not the forever prince.

Today, the promise of living in the eternal promised land of the New Jerusalem is given to everyone who lives for God through Jesus Christ and receives the Holy Spirit. We will be there, and every person who believed in God from generation to generation, down through the centuries, will be there. In the Old Testament, to believe in God meant to live by faith in His word and to believe the promises He made. That was counted as righteousness, the same as faith in Jesus Christ is counted as righteousness. Everyone who has ever had faith in God and believed His promises will live in the eternal promised land. Today, to believe the word of God is to put our faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ lives eternally, and He is the one King over all people who live for God through Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

Hebrews chapter 11 is an excellent example of faith and belief found within the Jewish people.

Christ has redeemed us by the atonement He made on the Cross for our sin “…that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 When we believe in Jesus Christ by faith, we receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is our guarantee of our inheritance in the eternal New Jerusalem, “…you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14 We are the purchased possession bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, and we will be redeemed with a new eternal body.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
