- The return of a few Jews from Babylon, and their continuance, increase, partial reformation, and prosperity, till the days of Christ, followed by their present long continued dispersion, under the frown of God, and destitute of his Spirit, could in no degree answer to these predictions. Hence we must conclude, that some future events, exactly suitable to them, shall yet take place relative to the nation of Israel. "And I will bring them outª° from¹ the people,ª and gatherª° them from¹ the countries,ª and will bringª° them to¹ their own land,ª and feedª° them upon¹ the mountainsª of Israelª by the rivers,ª and in all¹ the inhabited placesª of the country.ª" {Ezk 34:13} + "But I had pityª° for¹ mine holyª name,ª which¹ the houseª of Israelª had profanedª° among the heathen,ª whither¹¹ they went.ª°" {Ezk 36:21} + "For I will takeª° you from amongª the heathen,ª and gatherª° you out of all¹¹ countries,ª and will bringª° you into¹ your own land.ª" {Ezk 36:24} + "And it shall come to pass¹ in that¹ day,ª [that] the LORDª shall beat offª° from the channelª¹ of the riverª unto¹ the streamª of Egypt,ª and ye¹ shall be gatheredª° oneª by one,ª O ye childrenª of Israel.ª ... And it shall come to pass¹ in that¹ day,ª [that] the greatª trumpetª shall be blown,ª° and they shall comeª° which were ready to perishª° in the landª of Assyria,ª and the outcastsª° in the landª of Egypt,ª and shall worshipª° the LORDª in the holyª mountª at Jerusalem.ª" {Isa 27:12-13} + "The Lordª GODª which gatherethª° the outcastsª° of Israelª saith,ª° Yet¹ will I gatherª° [others] to¹ him, beside those that are gatheredª° unto him." {Isa 56:8} + "In those¹ daysª the houseª of Judahª shall walk²°¹ with¹ the houseª of Israel,ª and they shall comeª° togetherª out of the landª¹ of the northª to¹ the landª that¹ I have given for an inheritanceª° unto¹ your fathers.ª" {Jer 3:18} + "And I¹ will gatherª°¹ the remnantª of my flockª out of all¹¹ countriesª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° them, and will bring them againª°¹ to¹ their folds;ª and they shall be fruitfulª° and increase.ª°" {Jer 23:3} + "For,¹ lo,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that I will bring againª°¹ the captivityª of my peopleª Israelª and Judah,ª saithª° the LORD:ª and I will cause them to returnª° to¹ the landª that¹ I gaveª° to their fathers,ª and they shall possessª° it." {Jer 30:3} + "Therefore fearª° thou¹ not,¹ O my servantª Jacob,ª saithª° the LORD;ª neither¹ be dismayed,ª° O Israel:ª for,¹ lo,¹ I will saveª° thee from afar,ª¹ and thy seedª from the landª¹ of their captivity;ª and Jacobª shall return,ª° and shall be in rest,ª° and be quiet,ª° and none¹ shall make [him] afraid.ª°" {Jer 30:10} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will bring againª° the captivityª of Jacob'sª tents,ª and have mercyª° on his dwellingplaces;ª and the cityª shall be buildedª° upon¹ her own heap,ª and the palaceª shall remainª° after¹ the mannerª thereof." {Jer 30:18} + "The LORDª hath appearedª° of oldª¹ unto me, [saying], Yea, I have lovedª° thee with an everlastingª love:ª therefore¹¹ with lovingkindnessª have I drawnª° thee." {Jer 31:3} + "Behold,¹ I will gather¹ them out²° of all¹¹ countries,ª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° them in mine anger,ª and in my fury,ª and in greatª wrath;ª and I will bring them againª° unto¹ this¹ place,ª and I will cause them to dwellª° safely:ª" {Jer 32:37} + "And I will bring againª°¹ the captivityª of my peopleª of Israel,ª and they shall buildª° the wasteª° cities,ª and inhabitª° [them]; and they shall plantª° vineyards,ª and drinkª°¹ the wineª thereof; they shall also makeª° gardens,ª and eatª°¹ the fruitª of them." {Ams 9:14} + "Andª soª allª Israelª shall be saved:ª° asª it is written,ª° There shall comeª° out ofª Sionª the¹ Deliverer,ª° andª shall turn awayª° ungodlinessª fromª Jacob:ª ... Even soª have²° theseª alsoª nowª not believed,ª° thatª through yourª mercyª theyª alsoª may obtain mercy.ª°" {Rom 11:26-31}
