Part 3 The Return of Israel The Whole House Restored in Messiah

The Return of Israel — The Whole House Restored in Messiah

Ezekiel 37 and the Covenant of Faith. Today’s teaching uncovers one of the most misunderstood prophecies in Scripture:

God is not only bringing the Jews back to the land - He is restoring the whole house of Israel — Judah & Ephraim — into one Kingdom under one King, Messiah Yeshua!

Session Highlights & Scriptural Outline

1. A Missing Half of the Story

Most Christian teaching focuses only on Judah (the Jewish people) returning to the land - but the Bible declares something far bigger:

Ezekiel 37:22 “I will make them one nation… and one King will rule over them.”

Through unbelief the kingdom was divided (1 Kings 11–12):

Judah remained

Ephraim (House of Israel) was scattered among the nations (2 Kings 17)

Paul reveals the great mystery:

Romans 11:25–26 The fullness of the nations must come in - then all Israel will be saved.

The so-called “Gentiles” coming to faith includes the actually the scattered House of Israel returning through the Gospel.

This restoration is covenantal — not political.

2. The Land Promise — Active Today in Messiah

The land promise is secured only by faith — not by DNA:

Romans 4:16 “The promise comes by faith…”

Galatians 3:29 “If you belong to Messiah, you are Abraham’s seed.”

Messiah is the rightful Heir —

We inherit the land through union with Him.

3. Unbelief Breaks Covenant Fellowship

The warnings of Moses, Paul, and Yeshua are consistent:

Hebrews 3:19 — Unbelief prevents entry

1 Corinthians 10:5 — Bodies scattered in the wilderness

John 14:6 — Only through Yeshua

John 8:24 — Without belief, still in sin

Romans 9:6 — “Not all Israel who are Israel”

Lineage alone does not guarantee covenant standing.

4. Ezekiel 37 Blueprint — Restoration of the WHOLE House

The prophecy outlines 5 stages:

1️⃣ Dry bones → national resurrection

2️⃣ Two sticks → Judah + Ephraim reunited

3️⃣ One King → Messiah Son of David

4️⃣ One Land → restored inheritance

5️⃣ One Covenant → everlasting peace

Ezekiel 37:23 “They will be My people, and I will be their God.”

And Paul reveals the result: Ephesians 2:14–16 “One new man” — no more division — one redeemed Israel In Messiah, believers become:

Citizens of Israel (Eph 2:12)

Abraham’s heirs (Gal 3:29)

Royal priesthood (1 Pet 2:9)

5. Covenant Storyline — 4 Stages of Redemption

| Stage Covenant Reality Priesthood | Key Scriptures

Sinai Marriage Melchizedek Calling Ex 19:5–6; Jer 2:2

Golden Calf Marriage Broken Levitical Temporary System Ex 32; Heb 7:11–12

Cross Husband Dies Eternal Priesthood Restored Rom 7:2–4; Heb 7:24–25

New Covenant Bride Renewed Melchizedek Priesthood Forever Jer 31:31–33; Eph 2:14–16

Yeshua didn’t start a religion ➡ He restored the original covenant plan

6. The Land Promise Now — Before the Kingdom Age

The Bible clearly states Israel must be restored before Messiah returns:

Genesis 17:7–8 — Everlasting possession

Galatians 3:16 — Activated in Messiah

Joshua 21:43–45 — Historically fulfilled once

Ezekiel 36:24–27 — Return → THEN salvation

Ezekiel 37:21–25 — Regathering → THEN King

Matthew 19:28 — Twelve tribes restored Zechariah 12 & 14 — Nations battle Jerusalem before His return

Jeremiah 31:38–40 — Jerusalem rebuilt permanently ➡ The land promise is active today ➡ Final fulfillment occurs when Messiah reigns from Jerusalem

7. Only Through the Son

The covenant and the Land are inherited only in Messiah:

Hebrews 8:13 The
