The covenant of peace is the blessing that comes from obeying the covenant. This covenant would last forever.
In the past, the people’s sin made them unclean. Because of this, the Lord allowed the temple to be destroyed. Now their new purity would be shown in a new sanctuary. God would live among them there forever.
This final temple would show the success of God’s work to make his people holy. It would demonstrate that the Lord is the one who makes Israel holy (see Ezekiel 40–48).
