The Lord revealed to us through Ezekiel’s vision, that it will be at that time that Israel will divide her territory by lot to the twelve tribes of Israel. And so we see that this event will also only take place once all of Israel have returned to that nation, so that her territory can be divided to all her tribes. The nation of Israel in their current spiritual condition, would never allow their land to be divided by lot. And so God will work a miracle in that nation, to return them to observing the Law of Moses. Currently, Israel has no idea which tribe each Jew is descended from, and so it would be impossible for them to divide their territory by lot. Nevertheless God will intervene between now and that time so that when the time comes, Israel will be well able to divide her territory by lot. It may be that DNA testing will be used, to determine who belongs to which tribe. Or it may even be that the Lord will revive the use of the Urim by the priests to determine who belongs to which tribe. Just as He did when Israel returned from captivity in Babylon, and the priests had to consult the Urim to determine which were Levites and which weren’t (Nehemiah 7:65). But I need to emphasize, that even though Israel will once again walk in the old covenant she will still not at that time be saved, as it is only those who partake of the new covenant that are saved.
