PASSAGES CONCERNING THE GREATER SECOND EXODUS C

Remember, please, the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to have My name dwell.’

Neḥemyah (Nehemiah) 1:8-9 NASB

A FUTURE EXODUS

WHEN IT IS NO LONGER SAID
- “Therefore behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had banished them.’ For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.”

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 16:14-15 NASB

WHO WILL BE GATHERED?

THOSE THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
- So it will be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have placed before you, and you call them to mind in all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you, and you return to the Lord your God and [b]obey Him with all your heart and soul in accordance with everything that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. If any of your scattered countrymen are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back. The Lord your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will be good to you and make you more numerous than your fathers.

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 30:1-5 NASB

THE HOUSE OF JUDAH AND & HOUSE OF ISRAEL
- In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 3:18 NASB

PLUS THE GENTILES THAT ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH ISRAEL
- “So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the strangers who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And in the tribe with which the stranger resides, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares the Lord God.

Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 47:21-23 NASB

NONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND
- Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.

Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 39:28 NIV

WHERE IS ISRAEL GATHERED FROM?

FROM ALL COUNTRIES WHERE SCATTERED
- But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:3 NKJV

FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH
- It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Assyria and Egypt, from Pathros and Cush, from Elam and Shinar, from Hamath and the islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 11:11-12 NKJV

FROM THE LAND OF THE ENEMY
- Thus says the Lord: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:16 NKJV

THE REASON FOR THE GATHERING?

TO SAVE THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL
- Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:7 NKJV

WHY ARE THE REMNANT BEING SAVED?

THE WORLD SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO BE JUDGED
- ‘For I am with you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you; though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a complete end of you. But I will correct you in justice, and will not let you go altogether unpunished.’

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 30:11 NKJV

FLEE FROM THE WORLD SYSTEM TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
- Flee from the midst of Babylon, and each of you save his life! Do not perish in her punishment, for this is the Lord’s time of vengeance; He is going to repay to her what she deserves.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 51:6 NASB

SIMILAR TO THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT

“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I assuredly shall be king over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out; and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” declares the Lord God.

Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 20: 34-36 NASB

The following six categories address these similarities between this future Greater Second Exodus and the past Exodus from Egypt.

SIMILARITY #1

THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY

Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel) 20:41-42 NASB

SIMILARITY #3

After crossing the Red Sea, the Children of Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness. Similarly, after crossing the Euphrates and the Nile…

ISRAEL WILL PASS THROUGH A WILDERNESS

The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, there shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

- A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there,and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

So you will know that I am the Lord.

Zeḵaryah (Zechariah) 13: 8a NKJV

WHERE IS THE PLACE OF REFUGE?

A PLACE BEST DESCRIBED AS A PEN
- I will surely gather all of you, Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people.

The watchmen will be calling out…

LET US GO UP TO ZION

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:6-9 NKJV

THE WAY
- People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying,“This is the way; walk in it.”

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 30:19-21 NIV

Along THE WAY, the testing process will continue.

REFINED AS SILVER

THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL
- And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

A TIME TIMES & HALF TIME / 3 1/2 YEARS
- This is what he said, “The fourth beast is the fourth reign on earth, which is different from all other reigns, and it devours all the earth, tramples it down and crushes it. And the ten horns are ten sovereigns from this reign. They shall rise, and another shall rise after them, and it is different from the first ones, and it humbles three sovereigns, and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times and law, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time.”

Dani’ĕl (Daniel) 7:23-27ISR

All unfulfilled scripture, concerning the end of the age, will be fulfilled during this seven year allotment of prophetic time.
