Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- If they repent, after disobeying (and being punished), God will remember his promises to the patriarchs, and will not totally reject them. (So far, this has only happened in part. The final fulfillment is yet to come.)
- After the judgments of chapter 29, if they turn back to God and obey him, God will turn back to them and restore them to the land.
- Isa 26:19 - Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead.
- The immediate context could suggest a focus on the restoration of Israel. But the greater context of end-time events (chapters 24-27) seems to focus on the future resurrection of people from the dead (perhaps emphasizing the resurrection of righteous Jews). Both concepts may be in view here. (Other Scriptures show that both will occur.)
- The physical resurrection of the body is mentioned in Daniel 12:2. On the other hand, the concept of resurrection is used figuratively for the restoration of Israel, in Ezekiel 37:1-14.
- A description of events that will occur (v. 23-26a) ... "in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with." (v. 26b) The context focuses on Israel, though all of God's people (worldwide) may also be included.
