First the purified remnant must enter waters to the loins, and then waters to swim in. Then, when the Lord returns, the same Holy Spirit will flow from the remnant to the nations of saved peoples of the earth:

The spirit of Jerusalem is being perfected today in the warrior-remnant of saints. The eternal Life of God is being developed in them.

In the Day of Christ, this eternal, incorruptible resurrection life will be brought by Christ and the members of His Body into the natural Jerusalem on the earth, causing it to become both the spiritual and the physical capital of the world.

Until Satan has been overthrown in the spirit realm it is impossible for Jerusalem to be released into the liberty that always accompanies the glory of the children of God. The spiritual victory can be attained only as there is a company of victorious saints who place all their trust in the blood of the Lamb, who follow the Holy Spirit until the testimony of God has been established in them, and—perhaps most important of all, most central to the bringing forth of Christ—who are willing to love not their lives to the death.

In them Christ is brought forth. Christ in them gains victory in the heavenlies, in the spirit realm.

As soon as the spiritual victory has been won, Satan will be cast down to the earth. Then Christ will come at the head of His army and crush the armies of the earth. Christ will sit on the Throne of David in the city of Jerusalem. Through His saints He will bring all the nations of the saved into obedience to Himself. The resistance of the nations to Christ's rule through the saints will be broken by the rod of iron of His power.

The Jews will be delivered and will enter their inheritance because they are the chosen of the Lord. They have been punished for twenty-five hundred years. Now it is time for them once again to become the blessed of the Lord.

The army of purified saints always will be with the Lord Jesus for they are pillars in the Temple of God. They are the victorious saints and all things have been given to them for an inheritance. They will stand in the Presence of the Father forever—ages without end.

The army of saints includes people of Jewish and Gentile origin.

Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: (Ezekiel 37:16)

It is our point of view that Judah represents the Jews and Ephraim represents the multitude of nations that have been grafted on Israel through Christ.

Ephraim, the second son of Joseph, was claimed by Jacob along with Manasseh as belonging to him, that is, to Jacob (Israel). From that time Ephraim and Manasseh no longer were considered half-Egyptian and half-Hebrew. Ephraim and Manasseh now were genuine tribes of Israel, as genuine as Reuben or Simeon or any of the other sons of Jacob.
