God’s Promise to Israel

¹⁰ “But the number of the Israelites will become like the grains of sand of the sea, which no one can measure or count. They were called, ‘You are not my people,’ but later they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ ¹¹ The people of Judah and Israel will join together again and will choose one leader for themselves. They will come up from the land, because the day of Jezreel^[b] will be truly great.
