Israel, restored through covenant, will become again the "friends of God." He will be among them and they will be His people. It will be the fulfillment of Nephi's words: "Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine." (2 Nephi 27: 33-35.)
