Everlasting Covenant
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Gen 12:1-3

But Abram said, “Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is
Eliezer of Damascus?” Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring;
indeed one born in my house is my heir!” And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
“This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars
if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness. Gen 15:2-6

And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a
smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying:
“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river,
the River Euphrates — the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, Gen 15:17-20


When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:
“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
and you shall be a father of many nations.
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham;
for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful;
and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.


And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations,
for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan,
as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep
My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. Gen 17:1-9

He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.” Gen:17:13-16

And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”
Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac;
I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and
will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
But My covenant I will establish with Isaac,
whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.” Gen 17:18-21

And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac. Gen 21:1-3

But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or
because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice;
for in Isaac your seed shall be called.

Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.”
Gen 21:12-13


Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said:
 “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing,
and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you,
and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as
the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
Gen 22:15-18

(Isaac blesses Jacob) Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren, And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be those who bless you!” Gen 27:29


“May God Almighty bless you, And make you fruitful and multiply you, That you may be an
assembly of peoples; And give you the blessing of Abraham, To you and your descendants with you,
That you may inherit the land In which you are a stranger, Which God gave to Abraham.” Gen:28 3-4


Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place
and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place
and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold,
a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God
were ascending and descending on it.
And behold, the LORD stood above it and said:

“I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac;
the land on which you lie I will give to you and your (Isaac's) descendants.
Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east,
to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land;
for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” Gen 28:10-15


Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.
And God said to him,
“Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore,
but Israel shall be your name.”
So He called his name Israel.


Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation
and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. Gen 35: 9-11

And Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. Then Jacob said to Joseph: “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.’ Gen 48:2-4

Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David,
and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. 2nd Chron 21:7

“I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:
Your seed I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations." Psalm 89:3






Israel has Not been Forgotten
For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion
by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God
is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.” 2 Chron 30:9


“ Remember these, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you,
you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me! Isaiah 44:21

LORD, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin.
You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease.
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
Will You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?
Show us Your mercy, LORD, And grant us Your salvation. Psalms 85:1-7


Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. The LORD has made known His salvation;
His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Psalms 98:1-3

But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.
For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favor to her dust.
So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
For the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.

This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.
Psalms 102:12-18







God speaks comfort to His people

“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God. “
Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the LORD’s hand
Double for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:1 & 2


For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:3


“But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘ You are My servant, I have chosen you and
have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
“ Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
 

They (Gentile Nations) shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you (Israel) shall perish.
You shall seek them and not find them—
Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.


For I, the LORD your God,
will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
“ Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you,”
says the LORD and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:8-14

“Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; You (Israel) shall thresh
the mountains (Gentile Nations) and beat them small, And make the hills (cities) like chaff.
You shall winnow them, the wind shall carry them away, And the whirlwind shall scatter them;
You shall rejoice in the LORD, And glory in the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:15-16

“The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD,
will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine And the box tree together,
That they may see and know, And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the LORD has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it. Isaiah 41:17-20





The Command to Live in the Land
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.”
And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him. Gen 12:7

And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you
and your descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth;
so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.
Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” Gen 13:14-17

Then He said to him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans,
to give you this land to inherit it.” Gen 15:7

Then the LORD appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your
descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your (Israel's) descendants all these lands;
and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; Genesis 26:2-4

Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and
stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and
put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold,
a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven;
and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

And behold, the LORD stood above it and said:
"I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac;
the land on which you (Jacob-Israel) lie I will give to you and your descendants.
Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth;
you (Israel) shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south;
and in you (Israel) and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Behold, I am with you (Israel) and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land;
for I will not leave you (Israel) until I have done what I have spoken to you.”
Gen 28:10-15

The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you (Jacob, Israel);
and to your descendants after you I give this land.” Gen 35:12

You will bring them in and plant them In the mountain of Your inheritance, In the place, O LORD,
which You have made For Your own dwelling,
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established. Exodus 15:17

For God will save Zion And build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.
Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it,
And those who love His name shall dwell in it. Psalms 69:35-36





The Regathering of His People back into the Land
Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger,
all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” Gen 17:8

And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you
out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” Gen 50:24
Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful,
I will scatter you among the nations; but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them,
though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there,
and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name. Ne 1:8-9

“When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You,
and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You
in this temple, then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them
back to the land which You gave to their fathers. 1st Kings 8:33-34

Save us, O LORD our God,
And gather us from among the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise. Psalms 106:47

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
Psalms 107:1-3

Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east,
And gather you from the west;
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south,
‘Do not keep them back!’

Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth—

Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:5-7






The Land will bloom!

"I will raise up one shepherd to be in charge of them,"
and He will let them feed-my servant David. He will pasture them and be their shepherd.
I, Adonai, will be their God; and my servant David (Yeshua) will be prince among them.
I Adonai, have spoken.
I will make a covenant of peace with them; I will rid the land of wild animals: and they will
live securely in the desert and sleep in the forests. I will make them and the places around
My city (Jerusalem) a blessings, and I will cause the rain to fall
when it should-there will be showers of blessings.
The trees in the field will bear their fruit and the soil its produce,
and they will be secure in their land.
Then they will know that I am Adonai, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the power of those who turned them into slaves. No longer will they be prey for the Goyim (nations) nor will the wild animals devour them; but they will live securely, with no one to make them afraid.
I will make the productivity of their crops famous,
and they will no longer be consumed by hunger in the land
or bear the shame of the Goyim (nations) anymore. 
Ezekiel 34:23-29 (Complete Jewish Bible)






The Wealth of the nations
will flow into the house of Israel

His Protection over Israel

ALSO....
And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat!
Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude,
for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up
by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel.
You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD,
who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them,
for the LORD is with you.” 2nd Chron 20:15-17

The LORD is King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land. Psalms 10:16

May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion; Psalm 20:1-2

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. Psalms 27:5

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
Psalms 33:10-12

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You, give ear,
O LORD, to my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. Psalms 86:5-7

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground;
I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;
they will spring up among the grass like willows by the watercourses.
’ One will say, ‘I am the LORD’s’; another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
another will write with his hand,
‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.
Isaiah 44:1-5


‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that
I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah:
 Jer 33:14




The Redeemer of Israel
But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel:
“ Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you;
Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Isaiah 43:1-4

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it!
Shout, you lower parts of the earth; Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, And glorified Himself in Israel. Isaiah 44:22
 

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall look upon me (Yeshua) whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him (Yeshua) , as one mourneth for his only son,
and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
 

 ¹¹In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
as the mourning of Hadadrimmon
in the valley of Megiddon.

 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart;
the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. Zechariah 12:10-14


 

Pray for the Jewish People and
the Nation of Israel ,

May they prosper who love thee!
