‏ Ezekiel 47:23

Inheritance of the Alien

There is one more thing that needs to be taken care of and that is the inheritance for aliens who have been living in the midst of the Israelites for a long time and have a family with children in the land as well (Eze 47:22). They are so much integrated that they are part of the people. They also receive a share of the land in the tribe in which they live (Eze 47:23). God does not forget them, but allows them to share in the blessing He has for His people (Isa 56:3-8). In the time when the Lord Jesus reigns, it will finally be possible for Jews and Gentiles to live together in peace.

Jews and Gentiles are already living together in peace in the church in the grace period in which we live. This means, however, that the Jew ceases to be a Jew just as the Gentile is no longer a Gentile. They are both made one into a new man in Christ (Eph 2:13-16).
