What Does the Bible Say About Israel Becoming One Nation Again?

Direct Answer

Yes — the Bible promises that God will gather Israel and make them one nation in their land under one King (Ezekiel 37:22).

The promise includes no more division into two nations or two kingdoms, cleansing from sin, and the covenant relationship "they shall be My people, and I will be their God." Les Feldick teaches that while the regathering of Jewish people is happening today, the full one-nation fulfillment awaits Christ's return and Kingdom.

Key Scriptures

Ezekiel 37:21 — God's promise to gather the children of Israel from among the nations sets up the one-nation prophecy.

Ezekiel 37:22 — This is the central promise that Israel will become one nation in the land under one King.

Ezekiel 37:24 — It identifies the one King and one shepherd over the reunited nation.

What Does the Bible Say?

The Bible's clearest promise about Israel becoming one nation again is found in Ezekiel 37. After declaring that God will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land (Ezekiel 37:21), the prophecy records: "And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all" (Ezekiel 37:22). The passage goes on to promise that they will no longer defile themselves with idols, detestable things, or transgressions, and that God will save them out of all their dwellingplaces and cleanse them: "so shall they be my people, and I will be their God" (Ezekiel 37:23). God also promises, "And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd" (Ezekiel 37:24), and "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them" (Ezekiel 37:26).

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Israel Becoming One Nation Again?

Les Feldick emphasizes that God is already bringing Jewish people back to the land in our lifetime, but he carefully distinguishes the present regathering from the final promised one-nation unity. He points out the scale of immigration by noting that Israel is only about 40 miles wide and 200 miles long — absorbing immigrants at a rate comparable to the whole nation of France moving to America in 12 months (Clip 0). Yet the promise of "one nation... and one king" will be fulfilled only when the kingdom comes down from heaven over which Christ is going to be the King; then Israel will become the head nation (Clip 1).

When Will Israel Become One Nation Under One King?

Les Feldick places the fulfillment in the future. He reads Ezekiel 37's promise and explains that it will happen "when this kingdom comes down from heaven over which Christ is going to be the King" (Clip 1). The remnant of Israel will see Christ returning, believe in a moment, and the nation will be born in a day, after which it will come into the promised land as the head nation (Clip 3).

Will Israel Ever Be Divided Into Two Nations Again?

The Bible answers plainly: "they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all" (Ezekiel 37:22). Les says the land God deeded to Abraham is still the same land, and when the promise is fulfilled Israel will no longer be a split nation — no northern kingdom and no southern kingdom — but one nation under their Messiah (Clip 5).

What Happens After God Makes Israel One Nation?

Ezekiel 37 links the one-nation promise with cleansing and covenant. God says He will save Israel from all their dwellingplaces where they have sinned and cleanse them, "so shall they be My people, and I will be their God" (Ezekiel 37:23). Les adds that when Christ returns, this is when the New Covenant becomes a reality and God puts His Word and commandments in their hearts (Clip 7).

From the Teaching

The Regathering Is Already Underway

Les uses the comparison of France moving to America to illustrate how God is bringing Jewish immigrants to Israel today, then reads the promise that God will make them one nation upon the mountains of Israel.

The Fulfillment Waits for Christ's Kingdom

Les reads the Ezekiel promise that they will be one nation with one King and asks when it will happen: when the kingdom comes down from heaven with Christ as King, and Israel becomes the head nation.

Ezekiel 37 Read as the Answer

Les reads Ezekiel's prophecy of gathering Israel from the heathen, making them one nation under one King, with David as servant-king and an everlasting covenant of peace.

The Nation Born in a Day

Les teaches that when the remnant of Israel sees Christ returning, they will believe in a moment and the nation will be born in a day, then come into the promised land as the head nation.

God’s Plan for Israel vs. Gentiles: Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant

It's not all of a sudden all going to come on the scene at once, but the promises of God are so sure that as we move through the Old Testament, you're going to see all of God's dealing with this nation of Israel is to bring into fruition this covenant, where the nation of Israel will now be a nation of people, unique, separated, different from all the other nations.

No More Northern and Southern Kingdoms

Les says the land God deeded to Abraham is still the same land, and Israel will no longer be a split nation with a northern and southern kingdom, but one nation under their Messiah.

The True Meaning of Israel as a "Peculiar People"

Now Israel was being promised that if they would be obedient to the commands and the covenants of God, they would be a kingdom, a nation of priests, go-betweens, and a holy—now that word holy means separated, doesn't mean perfect, but it means separated, a holy or a separated—what's the next word? Nation. Now there's plain English.

The New Covenant Becomes Reality

Les teaches that when Christ returns, the remnant kept through tribulation will see Him and believe, and then the New Covenant will become a reality with God's Word in their hearts.

Bible Verses

Ezekiel 37:21: And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

This verse gives the gathering of scattered Israel as the direct background to the one-nation promise.

Ezekiel 37:22: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

This is the central promise that Israel will become one nation under one King.

Ezekiel 37:23: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

God links the one-nation restoration with cleansing and a restored covenant relationship.

Ezekiel 37:24: And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

This identifies the one King and shepherd over the reunited nation.

Ezekiel 37:26: Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

The everlasting covenant of peace follows God's promise to make Israel one nation.
