What did God promise the nation of Israel over and over in the Old Testament?

God promised the nation of Israel over and over in the Old Testament a king and a kingdom. Through the prophets, He repeatedly gave them these promises. Hosea declares that although He had torn and smitten them in discipline, He would heal and bind them up.

Les teaches that all the way through Israel's experience, God promised them, and promised them, and promised them a king and a kingdom. These are promises God gave to the nation through the prophets. When He came the first time, they rejected Him and crucified Him, and He went back to glory in resurrection power. But God did not forget Israel. Like MacArthur leaving the Philippines and saying, "I will come back," Jesus told the Twelve on the Mount of Olives that He was going back to heaven but would come back. The angel announced it as well. Israel is therefore approaching the day when their Messiah will return. In Hosea 6:1, God says, "Come, let us return unto the Lord, for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, He will bind us up." Les explains that God had chastised and disciplined them, but the verse ends with the promise that He will bind them up.
