“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. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Ezekiel 37:26-27
We know by what we see in the State of Israel today that they are not living in the covenant of peace that God made with them and is certainly not the everlasting covenant. The sanctuary of God is not in Jerusalem or anywhere in Israel but is within us as the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit, as our Lord Jesus Christ says, “…believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father…But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” John 4:21-23
The eternal covenant of peace is made through Jesus Christ, that is the covenant of the New Testament. This covenant is more excellent than the Old Testament covenant and is in fact the fulfillment of Old Testament promises, “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second…In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Hebrews 8:6-7, 13
The New Covenant is summarized in this way, “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.” John 3:16
The children of God have been multiplied by being adopted as His people who believe His promises and live by faith in Jesus Christ. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 God has made our body His sanctuary through Jesus Christ who atones for our sin, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.” 1 Corinthians 6:19
The New Covenant clearly says that we will inherit eternal life in the New Jerusalem by living for God through Jesus Christ. We are established by believing God, acknowledging Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, and receiving the Holy Spirit. His Tabernacle will be in our midst forever. “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:1-4
“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
