One Nation with One King
21you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land. 22I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms. 23They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions.

I will make them one nation
This phrase speaks to the divine intention of God to unify His people. The Hebrew word for "nation" is "goy," which often refers to a distinct group of people with a common identity. Historically, the Israelites were divided into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. This division was a result of sin and disobedience. God's promise to make them "one nation" signifies a restoration and healing of past divisions, pointing to a future where God's people are united under His sovereign rule. This unity is not just political but spiritual, reflecting the heart of God for His people to be one in purpose and worship.

in the land
The phrase "in the land" refers to the physical territory promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Hebrew word "eretz" is used here, which can mean land, earth, or territory. This promise is deeply rooted in the Abrahamic Covenant, where God promised a specific land to His people. The land is not just a physical space but a place of divine blessing and presence. It symbolizes God's faithfulness to His promises and His desire to dwell among His people. The restoration to the land is a sign of God's redemptive plan and His commitment to His covenant.

on the mountains of Israel
The "mountains of Israel" are significant both geographically and theologically. Mountains in biblical literature often symbolize stability, permanence, and divine encounter. The mountains of Israel were central to the identity of the nation, representing the heart of the promised land. This phrase emphasizes the return to a place of divine heritage and blessing. It also alludes to the idea of elevation, both physically and spiritually, as God's people are restored to a place of prominence and favor in His sight.

and one king will rule over all of them
The promise of "one king" ruling over a united nation is a messianic prophecy pointing to the coming of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. The Hebrew word for king is "melek," which denotes a ruler with authority and power. In the historical context, the division of the kingdom was marked by separate kings for Israel and Judah. The prophecy of a single king signifies the end of division and the establishment of a righteous and just rule. This king is not just a political leader but a spiritual shepherd, guiding the people in the ways of God.

and they will no longer be two nations
This phrase reiterates the theme of unity and the end of division. The division of Israel into two nations was a result of sin and rebellion against God. The promise that they "will no longer be two nations" speaks to the transformative power of God's redemption. It is a promise of healing and reconciliation, where former enmities are dissolved, and a new identity is forged under God's covenant. This unity is a foretaste of the ultimate unity of all believers in Christ, transcending ethnic and cultural boundaries.

or be divided into two kingdoms
The division into "two kingdoms" was a significant event in Israel's history, resulting from the sin of Solomon and the subsequent rebellion of the people. The Hebrew word for "kingdom" is "mamlakah," which implies a realm or dominion. The division was not just political but spiritual, as it represented a departure from God's ideal for His people. The promise that they will not be "divided into two kingdoms" is a declaration of God's intention to restore His people to their original purpose and calling. It is a vision of a unified kingdom under God's rule, reflecting His glory and fulfilling His purposes on earth.
