Hymn 22:  Israel – God’s People

• Under David and Solomon Israel was a United Kingdom, serving God 
• After Solomon the Kingdom was divided into two Nations – Judah (two Tribes) faithful to David’s line and Israel (ten Tribes) who from then turned from God
• Judah is represented by Jews in the World today, but Israel’s identity as a people has been lost
• When Jesus Christ returns He will again establish a United Kingdom and rule over Israel as well as the whole World
• Division comes from Satan, and when his power is cast out, God will truly reign over His People in accordance with the promises in Scripture.
