God will restore Israel

Excerpt from sermon “God’s Inheritance” by Randy Chamberland, Sullivan Harbor Baptist Church, speaking of the future of currently apostate Israel:

But Jesus will be their King; their righteous, just, and peaceful king.

Zechariah 10:4 LEB

From them the cornerstone will go out, from them the tent peg, from them the battle bow, from them every ruler, all together.

from them/ him= Judah

the King will come from Judah

the foundation cornerstone

the center tent nail where the most valuable possessions are hung

the keeper of the peace,

ruler of the nations

because Jesus is with them, they will destroy their enemies

Zechariah 10:5 LEB

And they will be like warriors, trampling in the mud of the streets in the battle. They will fight, because Yahweh is with them, and they will put to shame the riders on horses.

Jesus will bring them back into the land where they belong

Zechariah 10:6 LEB

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph I will save. And I will bring them back, because I have compassion on them, and they will be as if I had not rejected them, for I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.

Zechariah 10:7 LEB

And the people of Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their heart will be glad as with wine. And their children will see and rejoice; their heart will shout in exultation in Yahweh.

Zechariah 10:8 LEB

I will whistle to them and gather them, for I have redeemed them, and they will become numerous as they have been numerous before.

they have been among the nations but have not forgotten who they are

Zechariah 10:9 LEB

Though I sow them among the nations, in the distant places they will remember me, and they will stay alive with their children, and they will return.

Zechariah 10:10 LEB

And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria I will gather them. To the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until no room will be found for them there.

Zechariah 10:11 LEB

And he will pass through the sea of distress, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.

Zechariah 10:12 LEB

I will make them strong in Yahweh, and in his name they will walk, declares Yahweh.

God will not forget His people the Israelites

He has a special plan for them

they will be redeemed

they will come back

they will be the center of the world

they are His special inheritance
