Covenant of Peace: The Millennial Age
prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them;
but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid.
I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no
longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the
shame of the Gentiles anymore. (A picture of restoration
similar to the garden of Eden when man has dominion over the
earth and uses it wisely) Thus they shall know that I, the Lord
their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are
My people says the Lord God. You are My flock, the flock of
My pasture; you are men, and I am your God, says the Lord
God.”
This is an awesome description of the restoration of mankind and His
purpose to live and rule the earth! Notice that this Covenant of Peace is
made with us His people, and that Ezekiel is writing in future tense: “I

kings will soon make a Covenant of Peace with us and with all His
creation here on earth! It will truly be a “new age.” Just like when
Jesus came the first time and initiated the age of Grace, a new age of
Peace is literally at our doorstep.

Scripture where the phrase “covenant of peace” is found is located only
three chapters after the last occurrence in Ezekiel.
Again we find the judgment and then blessing pattern repeated, because
chapter 35 discusses the judgment against Mount Seir and then chapter
36 discusses the blessing on Israel. Since Mt. Seir and all of Edom has
always had an ancient hatred for Israel and shed innocent blood, they
will reap what they have sown and be “desolate.” Yet Israel who was
made desolate by Edom and her surrounding neighbors shall be rebuilt
and inhabited and stumble no more.
Chapter 37 then reiterates Israel’s restoration in two graphic visions.
The first vision is the valley of dry bones, representing natural Israel,
which comes back to life from the dead. The second vision is the two
