Ezekiel 37:22

This promise runs throughout all prophecy. The disruption of the state was felt even by Hosea, a native of the north, to have introduced a schism into the one kingdom of Jehovah, and to have broken the unity of the consciousness of the community, to which the consciousness of the one God corresponded. Hosea 1:11; Hosea 8:3-4; Isaiah 11:13; Jeremiah 3:18. The one God, the husband of the community, required that the community should also be one, with a single affection and service. Cf. Ezekiel 34:23-24.
