Day 16
RESTORATION OF ISRAEL:
Restore Israel according to Your Word, physically to the Land and spiritually to You. “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, proclaim it in distant coastlands: He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over His flock like a shepherd” (Jer. 31:10).
Fulfill Your covenant promise: “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of My holy name…I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.” (Ez. 36: 22-28) Despite international opposition, bring to glorious completion the current process of Your promised restoration.
16.以色列的恢復:
用你的话语恢复以色列的土地和在灵裡恢复以色列回转向你;“列国啊:要听耶和华的话,传扬在远处的海岛说:’赶散以色列的,必召聚他,又看守他,好像牧人看守羊群。‘”(耶利米书31:10)
成就你所立的盟约的应许:“所以,你要对以色列家说,主耶和华如此说:以色列家啊,我行这事不是为你们,乃是为我的圣名,就是在你们到的列国中所亵渎的。我要使我的大名显为圣;这名在列国中已被亵渎,就是你们在他们中间所亵渎的。
我在他们眼前,在你们身上显为圣的时候,他们就知道我是耶和华。这是主耶和华说的。我必从各国收取你们,从列邦聚集你们,引导你们归回本地。我必用清水洒在你们身上,你们就洁淨了。
我要洁淨你们,使你们脱离一切的污秽,弃掉一切的偶像。我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们裡面,又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。
我必将我的灵放在你们裡面,使你们顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章。你们必住在我所赐给你们列祖之地。你们要作我的子民,我要作你们的神。”(以西结书36:22-28)愿你所应许的恢复必充满荣耀的成就。
