Ezekiel 37:26-28

26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forevermore.
27 My dwelling place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 Then the nations shall know that I the Lord sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forevermore.
