Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 47:13-14, 21-23)
GOD sets forth the boundaries and divisions of the nation of Israel when they come into the land for the last time. The descendants of Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh have a portion each, and the tribe of Levi serve and work in the Temple. And because this Israel is at peace, even her neighbors are invited and welcomed to stay. Our Lord will be on the throne of His Kingdom for a 1000 years and all GOD's people will know His blessings. The desert will blossom as a rose, the rivers will be healed, the trees will bloom with fruit all year. All the peoples of the nations will come to Jerusalem to see the great King and worship Immanuel, GOD with us.
GOD has not forgotten His people. He still cares for, and directs the events of this world concerning Israel. All He has said, will come to pass, and in the end Israel will be lifted up, and she will shine greater than all the other nations that opposed her.
Until that day, we in the Church are to bless and support Israel and the Jews without compromising what the Bible teaches about Him, ourselves, the affairs of men, and this world. Our primary mission, commanded by GOD, until He returns and takes us Home to Him, is to preach the Gospel. Tell everyone the Good News of the love and justice of our Almighty GOD, who created them and loves them, but will punish them for their sIn if they choose not to accept His finished work on the Cross of Calvary in their place.

Jesus loves you so much, that He willingly and humbly stepped out of Heaven, put aside some of His attributes and perogatives as GOD the Son who is the Son of GOD, and went obediently to that cross, that you might live and be made righteous before GOD. If you believe His Word, and receive Him by Faith, surrender to Him on His terms, unconditionally, He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He desires that you choose to be born again, and let Him establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal.
