Israel will be restored as one nation under one king when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom at the Second Coming.
Ezekiel 37 promises that God will gather Israel from among the nations, make them one nation, and place one king over them. Les Feldick teaches that this happens when the remnant of Israel sees Christ returning as King of Kings and believes in a moment, causing the nation to be born in a day spiritually. At that point the Kingdom is established and Christ rules from Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 37:22 — This verse explicitly promises that Israel will be one nation with one king, directly answering the question.
Ezekiel 37:24 — It names the king as David My servant and says they will have one shepherd, identifying the ruler over restored Israel.
The Bible places the restoration of Israel as one nation under one king at a future time when God Himself gathers His people. In Ezekiel 37:21-22, God declares, "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: 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." Verses 24-26 add that "David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd," that they will dwell in the land given to Jacob, and that God will make an everlasting covenant of peace with them.
Les Feldick teaches that Israel's restoration under one king is tied directly to the Second Coming of Christ. Israel rejected the King and the kingdom at His first coming, so He was raised to glory and now sits at the Father's right hand until He returns to deal with His covenant people. When Christ returns, the faithful remnant of Israel that has survived the Tribulation will see Him coming in glory, believe in a moment, and the whole nation will be born in a day spiritually.
Les explains that the King and His kingdom were about to come on the scene at Christ's first coming, but Israel rejected the King. The King was crucified, God raised Him from the dead, and He was called back to glory to sit at the Father's right hand until His enemies should be made His footstool. That 'until' points to the future when Christ returns once more to deal with His covenant people of Israel.
Les teaches that a remnant of Israel flees from Jerusalem during the Tribulation and is protected for three and a half years. When they see the returning Christ coming as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the nation will experience salvation suddenly. This remnant, saved by recognizing their Messiah, becomes the seed stock of the restored nation of Israel.
Ezekiel 37:24 says, "David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd." Les Feldick teaches that when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, He will be ruling from Jerusalem and will be right there in the midst of Israel. The remnant of Israel will recognize Him as their King, and the nation will live in His sight.
Dry Bones Vision
Les shows that the dry bones represent the whole house of Israel scattered among the nations, and God promises to bring them into the land of Israel.
One Nation Under One King
Les reads Ezekiel 37:21-26, emphasizing God's promise to gather Israel, make them one nation, and give them one king with a covenant of peace.
Israel Born in a Day
Les teaches that when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom, the remnant of Israel will believe in a moment and the nation will be born in a day spiritually.
The Nation Sees Christ
The remnant of Israel will see the returning Christ as King of Kings and suddenly realize who Jesus was, experiencing salvation as a nation.
Remnant Becomes Seed Stock
At the Second Coming, the remnant of Israel becomes believers and serves as the seed stock of the restored nation in Christ's Kingdom.
Two Days and the Kingdom
Les connects Hosea's three-day pattern to Israel: after two days (2,000 years) God revives them, and in the third day (the Kingdom) He raises them up to live in His sight from Jerusalem.
Israel Greatest Nation
Les teaches that the remnant of Israel will be the largest single segment of people entering the Kingdom, making Israel the greatest nation in the Kingdom Age.
Rejected King Returns
Les explains that Israel rejected the King at the first coming, so He was called to glory until the time when He returns to deal with His covenant people.
Ezekiel 37:11: Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
This verse identifies the dry bones as the whole house of Israel, whose hope is lost while scattered among the nations.
Ezekiel 37:12: Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
God promises to open Israel's graves and bring them into their own land, showing that restoration is His act.
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:
God will gather the children of Israel from among the nations and bring them back into their own land.
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 and never again be divided.
Ezekiel 37:24: And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
It identifies the one king as David My servant and states that Israel will have one shepherd.
Ezekiel 37:25: And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
Restored Israel will dwell permanently in the land promised to Jacob, with David as their prince forever.
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 restoration includes an everlasting covenant of peace and God's sanctuary in their midst.
Isaiah 66:8: Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
This verse points to the sudden, miraculous birth of the nation, which Les connects to Israel's restoration at Christ's return.
Hosea 6:2: After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Les applies this three-day pattern to Israel, seeing the third day as the Kingdom era when Israel lives in God's sight.
Israel will be restored as one nation under one king when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom, at the Second Coming. The remnant of Israel will see Christ coming as King of Kings, believe in a moment, and the nation will be born in a day spiritually.
Les notes that Jews have been coming back to the land for the last hundred years and have been an independent state since 1948. However, the full restoration of Israel as one nation under one king happens when Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom.
Ezekiel 37:24 says David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. Les teaches that Christ, returning as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, will rule from Jerusalem and will be right there in their midst.
