"Thus saith the LordGod; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel."(v.12) The land of Israel referred here is upon the mountains which is called New Jerusalem. "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of theLord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of theLordfrom Jerusalem."( Isa. 2.3)
'Out of the graves' establishes the city founded by God. "By faith (Abraham) he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:/ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."(11.9-10) God denied Abraham possessing the land, "For the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." (Gen.15.16) Before this He promise what his reward would be." Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." (15.1) Imagine God being the exceeding great reward under the everlasting Covenant and whosoever born of the Spirit is entitled to it. Faith is not simple change of attitude it is also a building eternally reserved in heaven which is not with hands built,"an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens./For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven."(2 Cor.5.1-5) How strong is our faith to move into it, "but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life./Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."
