Ezekiel 47:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:23

And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger
sojourneth
Whatsoever particular congregation or church these strangers and sojourners (as all the Lord's people are in this world, and even in their church state), or those Gentiles before described, shall be nearest unto, and to which they shall propose themselves for communion, they shall be readily admitted: there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God;
allow him a name and a place; put him in the possession of all church privileges and immunities; look upon him as a member, a brother, a fellow citizen, as an heir together of the grace of life, and as equally entitled to the inheritance of the saints in light; and for this they have the authority and order of Jehovah himself.
