A Covenant of Peace

Written By Ricardo McGee

Ezekiel 37:26

This verse pertains to Ezekiel's prophecy regarding the reunification and restoration of Israel. The vision of the valley of dry bones and the metaphorical unification of two sticks (Judah and Ephraim) reinforce the promise of a "covenant of peace," which consolidates God's enduring plan for His people—both ethnic Israel and the included believers through the Messiah.

The Hebrew word for "peace" is shalom, encompassing implications that extend much beyond mere conflict absence. It signifies wholeness, completion, restoration, and heavenly favor. God assures not only national security or wealth but also eternal harmony grounded in His presence.

The covenant is not transient; it is everlasting. It reflects God's previous agreements with Abraham, Moses, and David, however it is now articulated within the context of future Messianic fulfillment. The term “sanctuary” denotes not merely a structure, but the presence of God among His people—partially realized in Yeshua’s initial advent (John 1:14) and eventually in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:3).

The Messianic believer interprets this prophecy via the current ministry of Messiah Yeshua, who established the New Covenant with His blood (Luke 22:20), reconciling both Jew and Gentile to God, so creating one new man (Ephesians 2:14–16). We currently experience a peace that transcends comprehension (Philippians 4:7), anticipating the complete manifestation of this eternal covenant in the forthcoming Kingdom.

• Prophetic Fulfillment: The covenant of peace is rooted in the Messiah’s redemptive work and anticipates the Millennial reign and New Jerusalem.

• Messianic Identity: Adherents of Yeshua share in the promises bestowed upon Israel, having been included (Romans 11:17).

• Divine Presence: God's sanctuary is presently among us through the indwelling Holy Spirit and will be completely revealed in the future world.

• Lasting Peace: This peace is not contingent upon political circumstances, but rather an everlasting peace grounded in God's covenantal fidelity.
