The Wise Shall Understand Israel: One Nation With An Everlasting Covenant

Israel. It is the name of a man, and, by extension, the name of a people-a "Chosen People." Israel, of course, is also the name of a thriving modern nation-state, a nation whose history can be traced back to antiquity. On top of this, Israel is also the name of the "Promised Land". The promise is based upon a land covenant, and that covenant is described in the Scriptures as an everlasting covenant. It is a promise that the LORD remembers forever.
