The great story of the redemption of Gods people, all the true Christian, scattered around the world. Descendants of Jacob and those grafted in.

He will lead them by streams of water, on smooth paths, for He is the Father to Israel and Ephraim is His eldest son. Isaiah 11:11-13, Isaiah 62:10-12

I will forgive and forget their wrongdoing. Ezekiel 37:26, Ezekiel 39:25-29

This passage from the book of the prophet Jeremiah, tells the story of how the Lord will punish the unrighteous by a fire judgement, then how His Christian people, from every nation and language, Galatians 3:26-28& 6:14-16,, will once again live in the Land that He promised to their ancestors, actual or by faith. Isaiah 51:1-2
The Lord will make a new covenant with them, in order for His believers to fulfil their destiny to be “a light to the nations”, and to spread to Gospel of the coming Kingdom of God. This will be carried out by the 144,000 as described in Revelation and Isaiah 66:19. The preview of this is in Luke 10:1-20; the 72 sent out then, will become 72 + 72 x 1000= 144,000.
They will live in peace and security for several years, in the new country of Beulah, all of the holy Land area promised to Abraham so long ago. Ezekiel 34:24-31, Joel 2:23-27
When they are settled and prosperous, the Lord will motivate a Northern confederation to come and attack Beulah, Ezekiel 38:8, Ezekiel 39:1-2. They will be totally wiped out by the Lord, Ezekiel 38:21-22, Ezekiel 39:3-5, Joel 2:20. This is in order to display His glory and power to all the nations. Ezekiel 38:23, Ezekiel 39:21
Meanwhile, the rest of the world will slowly recover from the terrible fires and earthquakes of the Day of the Lord’s wrath and they will form a One World Government, initially controlled by ten Presidents, but another man will rise to take dictatorial powers. He makes a seven year peace treaty with Beulah, that not all the Beulahites agree with. Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:32
This marks the commencement of the final seven years of this age. At the middle of this time, the World Dictator comes to Jerusalem and forcibly sits in the Temple. 2 Thess 2:4,. Daniel 11:31 This triggers the 3½ year Great Tribulation, the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Those Beulahites who refused any dealings with the ‘beast’ - Revelation 13:1-5, will be taken to a place of safety on earth. Revelation 12:14
After that, will come the culmination of this age – the Return of Jesus, He will destroy the armies mustered for battle in Armageddon. Revelation 16:16, Revelation 19:19-21, Zechariah 14:3-5 Then, to reign on earth for 1000 years. Zechariah 14:6-11
Great will be that time!
