Regarding "the land"...
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. 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. 13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
One Nation with One King
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 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: 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: 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.
--Ezekiel 37, the "dry bones" prophecy
[inserting: this passage LIKENS this UNTO *a RESURRECTION* (not physically/bodily from the dead), JUST AS does Romans 11:15[25], and Hos5:14-6:3 and Isa26:15-21 and Dan12:1-4,10 and...]
"And it shall come to pass, that in the place where IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM,' Ye are not my people'; there SHALL THEY be called the children of the living God." - Romans 9:26 (speaking of "Israel" in *this* verse... namely, Israel's "FUTURE" )
[see again Zech9:11-12 - "11 As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double." Plus the other related verses I placed at the two links, in a previous post... like Ezek37's "dry bones" prophecy "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" , etc... ]
