What land has God specifically set apart as the homeland for His covenant people?
God has specifically set apart the little strip of ground between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River as the homeland for His covenant people. It is the land He has delineated, and governments that attempt to change that will go to their doom.
Les explains that God has delineated this little strip of ground between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River as the homeland for His covenant people, and that the United States or other governments go to their doom if they try to change it. He connects this to Ezekiel's promise that God will place His people in their own land, so they will know He has spoken and performed it. Les then points to the two sticks: one for Judah, the southern kingdom of Judah and Benjamin, and one for Ephraim and all the house of Israel, the northern kingdom or ten tribes. When Ezekiel joins them, they become one stick in his hand—a miracle like Moses' rod—showing God's lesson of joining them into one.
