34:26; Malachi 3:10-12. Will there be great rejoicing over the abundance of
crops and cattle YEHOVAH God will bestow upon them? Jeremiah
31:12. Will there be a superabundance of foodstuffs? Amos 9:13.

COMMENT: During the Millennium, YEHOVAH God will bestow upon obe-
dient Israel all of the great material blessings He promised to give their an-
cestors had they obeyed (Leviticus 26; Deuteronomy 28).

The British Commonwealth and the United States -- Ephraim and Manas-
seh -- have been the wealthiest and most powerful nations on earth in this
end time because of Abraham’s obedience to YEHOVAH God. However,
their status among nations today is only a foretaste of even "greater wealth
and power (in YEHOVAH’s service) to come once all of Israel is living un-
der the government of YEHOVAH God.

9. Abraham’s offspring were prophesied to become extremely numer-
ous (Genesis 13:16). Will Israel’s population reach its zenith in the Millen-
nium? Ezekiel 36:10-11; Isaiah 60:21-22. How does YEHOVAH God de-
scribe this future explosive spread of Israelites into every part of the
globe? Isaiah 27:6.

10. Will Israel inherit the whole world? Isaiah 54:2-4. Thus will all nations
be blessed because of Abraham’s "seed"? Genesis 28:14. But
how? Isaiah 61:9; 62:1-2, 7. Will the non-Israelite nations therefore want to
learn YEHOVAH’s way and become obedient to Him and the Messi-
ah? Isaiah 2:1-3.

COMMENT: Israel was intended to be a blessing to the rest of the world
both materially and spiritually. The non-Israelite nations similarly will be
blessed as they follow Israel’s outstanding EXAMPLE of obedience to
YEHOVAH God! In the Millennium Israel will truly become YEHOVAH’s
model nation -- the leader all nations will want to follow.

But what about those ancient Israelites who died in their sins long ago? Will
they also have a chance to repent, receive YEHOVAH’s spirit, obey
YEHOVAH God, and become members of His ruling family?

Ancient Israel to Become a "Holy Nation"

1. What did the apostle Paul write in Romans? Romans 11:2.

COMMENT: Ancient Israel will also have a chance to receive YEHOVAH’s
holy spirit and obey YEHOVAH God from the heart. But how is this possi-
ble? These Israelites have been dead for thousands of years! Exactly
