What happens when
As we already have learned,
They are taken
captive and scattered throughout the world into many
nations and
Isa
11:11 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.
It would appear
that they remain in captivity for 2 -3 years.
Hos
6:2 After
two days He will revive us; On
the third day He will raise us up, That we may live
in His sight.
The nation which
takes them captive is a cruel nation.
Deu
28:49 The
LORD will bring a nation
against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a
nation whose language you will
not understand,
Deu
28:50 a
nation of fierce countenance,
which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to
the young.
Deu
28:51 And
they shall eat the increase of
your livestock and the produce of your land, until
you are destroyed; they
shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or
the offspring of your flocks,
until they have destroyed you.
Deu
28:52 "They
shall besiege you at
all your gates until your high and fortified walls,
in which you trust, come
down throughout all your land; and they shall
besiege you at all your gates
throughout all your land which the LORD your God has
given you.
As we have shown
previously, Jacob’s Trouble has a terrible toll on
2/3rds of the population will die of sword, wild
beasts, famine and
disease. We have shown that the population of
2/3rds will die that is 280,000,000. That leaves
141,000,000. These
people will go into captivity. Only 1/10th come
out of captivity alive.
Which means only 14,000,000 will survive the captivity
and Jacob’s
trouble.
Before they are
rescued from captivity they must learn many valuable
lessons. They must
realise that their ways have been wrong.
They must repent and return to God.
They must realise that Jacob’s Trouble has been for
their ultimate
salvation.
This is what God had to do to them before they would
see the errors of their
ways.
God wants the
Israelites to have a changed heart.
Lev
26:39 And
those of you who are left
shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies'
lands; also in their
fathers' iniquities, which are with them, they shall
waste away.
Lev
26:40 'But if they confess their iniquity
and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they
were unfaithful to Me, and
that they also have walked contrary to Me,
Lev
26:41 and
that I also have walked contrary to
them and have brought them
into the land of their enemies; if their
uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and
they accept their guilt
Lev
26:42 then
I will remember My covenant
with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My
covenant with Abraham I will
remember; I will remember the land.
Whilst the
Israelites are in captivity, God expects that His end
time church will feed
them and care for them, physically and spiritually.
Notice these
following scriptures which show that the church should
have looked after
Eze
34:2 "Son
of man, prophesy against
the shepherds of
The following
Israelites have been through Jacob’s Trouble, they
desperately need the church
to help them. The church have not sought after
Eze
34:4 The
weak you have not strengthened,
nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound
up the broken, nor brought
back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost;
but with force and cruelty
you have ruled them.
The church was
only interested in feeding itself, they did not care
about
Eze
34:8 "As I live," says the Lord GOD,
"surely because My
flock became a prey, and My flock became food for
every beast of the field,
because there
was no shepherd,
nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the
shepherds fed themselves and
did not feed My flock"
Because the
church will not go after
Eze
34:11 'For
thus says the Lord GOD:
"Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek
them out.
God provides both
physical and spiritual food and drink for His church,
but they do not pass on
these things to
Eze
34:18 Is
it too little for you to have
eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down
with your feet the residue
of your pasture and to have drunk of the clear
waters, that you must foul the
residue with your feet?
The church did
not care about giving
Eze
34:19 And
as for My flock, they eat what you
have trampled with your feet,
and they drink what you have fouled with your feet."
David is God’s
trusted servant, and he will feed them. Both
David and the Father rescue
Eze
34:23 I
will establish one shepherd over
them, and he shall feed them My servant David. He
shall feed them and be their
shepherd.
The following
scripture shows clearly that the Father brings
Psa
14:7 Oh,
that the salvation of
Once
Eze
34:30 Thus
they shall know that I, the
LORD their God, am with
them,
and they, the house of Israel, are
My people," says the Lord GOD.' "
Elijah goes to
them and turns their hearts.
Mal
4:5 Behold,
I will send you Elijah the
prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful
day of the LORD.
Mal
4:6 And
he will turn The hearts of the
fathers to the children, And the hearts of the
children to their fathers, Lest
I come and strike the earth with a curse.
Mat
17:10 And
His disciples asked Him,
saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah
must come first?"
Mat
17:11 Jesus
answered and said to them, "Indeed,
Elijah is coming first and will restore all
things.
The following
scripture shows that Elijah may go to them after they
have been in captivity
for two years then God rescues them in the third year
of captivity.
Hos
6:2 After
two days He will revive us; On
the third day He will raise us up, That we may live
in His sight.
Notice the
changed attitude of the Israelites when they return
from captivity.
Eze
14:22 Yet
behold, there shall be left in
it a remnant who will be brought out, both
sons and daughters; surely they will come out to
you, and you will see their
ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted
concerning the disaster that
I have brought upon
Eze
14:23 And
they will comfort you, when
you see their ways and their doings; and you shall
know that I have done
nothing without cause that I have done in it," says
the Lord GOD.
And notice
again.
Hos 6:1 Come, and
let us return to the LORD; For He
has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but
He will bind us up.
Isa
29:23 But
when he sees his children, The
work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My
name, And hallow the Holy
One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel.
Isa
29:24 These
also who erred in spirit
will come to understanding, And those who complained
will learn doctrine."
Notice how they
realised that God had to bring Jacob’s Trouble on them
so they would change
their ways.
Eze
6:9 Then
those of you who escape will
remember Me among the nations where they are carried
captive, because I was
crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed
from Me, and by their eyes
which play the harlot after their idols; they will
loathe themselves for the
evils which they committed in all their
abominations.
Eze
6:10 And
they shall know that I am the
LORD; I have not said in vain
that I would bring this calamity upon them."
Now that they
have a changed attitude God sets His hand to rescue
them.
NOTICE THAT IT
IS GOD THE FATHER WHO RESCUES
Jer
16:14 "Therefore
behold, the days
are coming," says the LORD, "that it shall no more
be said, 'The LORD
lives who brought up the children of
Jer
16:15 but,
'The LORD lives who brought
up the children of
Notice how God
says He will lead them out.
Jer
31:8 Behold,
I will bring them from the
north country, And gather them from the ends of the
earth, Among
them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child And the one who labors with
child, together; A great
throng shall return there.
Jer
31:9 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
Deu
30:3 that
the LORD your God will bring
you back from captivity, and have compassion on you,
and gather you again from
all the nations where the LORD your God has
scattered you.
God changes the
Isa
11:15 The
LORD will utterly destroy the
tongue of the Sea of Egypt; With His mighty wind He
will shake His fist over
the River, And strike it in the seven streams, And
make men cross over dryshod.
Isa
11:16 There
will be a highway for the
remnant of His people Who will be left from Assyria,
As it was for
Notice this
amazing scripture, it shows The Father going on ahead
of the Israelites and
Israel’s King passing before them.
Mic
2:12 "I
will surely assemble all of
you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of
Israel; I will put them
together like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the
midst of their pasture;
They shall make a loud noise because of so
many people.
Mic
2:13 The
one who breaks open will come
up before them; They will break out, Pass through
the gate, And go out by it;
Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at
their head."
The king who
shall pass before them is the resurrected King
David.
Jer
30:9 But
they shall serve the LORD their
God, And David their king, Whom I will raise up for
them.
Further
confirmation of David the King of Israel.
Eze
34:23 I
will establish one shepherd over
them, and he shall feed them My servant David. He
shall feed them and be their
shepherd.
Eze
34:24 And
I, the LORD, will be their
God, and My servant David a prince among them; I,
the LORD, have spoken.
What do you think
will happen to the nations which held the Israelites
captive? Let’s
notice this scripture for this new knowledge on this
subject.
Isa 14:1 For the
LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and
will still choose
Isa
14:2 Then
people will take them and
bring them to their place, and the house of Israel
will possess them for
servants and maids in the land of the LORD; they
will take them captive whose
captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.
Isa
14:3 It
shall come to pass in the day
the LORD gives you rest from your sorrow, and from
your fear and the hard
bondage in which you were made to serve,
Isa
14:4 that
you will take up this proverb
against the king of Babylon, and say: "How the
oppressor has ceased, The
golden city ceased!
Isa
14:5 The
LORD has broken the staff of
the wicked, The scepter of the rulers;
Not only will
they rule over their oppressors, on their way back to
Isa
11:12 He
will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of
Isa
11:13 Also
the envy of Ephraim shall
depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut
off; Ephraim shall not envy
Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Isa
11:14 But
they shall fly down upon the
shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
Together they shall plunder the
people of the East; They shall lay their hand on
Edom and Moab; And the people
of Ammon shall obey them.
Isa
11:15 The
LORD will utterly destroy the
tongue of the Sea of Egypt; With His mighty wind He
will shake His fist over
the River, And strike it in the seven streams, And
make men cross over dryshod.
When surrounding
nations see what is going on with
Isa
56:8 The
Lord GOD, who gathers the
outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet I will gather to him
Others
besides those who are gathered
to him."
Zec
2:11 "Many
nations shall be joined
to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My
people. And I will dwell in
your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of
hosts has sent Me to you.
When the
Israelites were taken captive, their children were
taken from them. They
had no idea what would become of them.
Deu
28:32 Your
sons and your daughters shall be
given to another people, and
your eyes shall look and fail with
longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your
hand.
Let’s see what
amazing
things are going to happen to those children.
Isa
49:20 The
children you will have, After
you have lost the others, Will say again in your
ears, 'The place is too
small for me; Give me a place
where I may dwell.'
Isa
49:21 Then
you will say in your heart,
'Who has begotten these for me, Since I have lost my
children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro? And who has
brought these up? There I was,
left alone; But these, where were
they?' "
Isa
49:22 Thus
says the Lord GOD: "Behold,
I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And
set up My standard for the
peoples; They shall bring your sons in their
arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
Isa
49:23 Kings
shall be your foster
fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They
shall bow down to you with
their
faces to the earth, And
lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know
that I am
the LORD, For they shall not be
ashamed who wait for Me."
And notice.
Isa
29:23 But
when he sees his children, The
work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My
name, And hallow the Holy
One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel.
Isa
29:24 These
also who erred in spirit
will come to understanding, And those who complained
will learn doctrine."
Isn’t that
amazing the children of
Let’s recap on
what we have learned.
The Israelites and
During their captivity, Elijah turns their heart to
the Father and the Father’s
heart to them.
The Father sends people to gather the Israelites in
one area, then the Father
and David bring the Israelites back to
There is a highway for them to come back on,
surrounding people join in with
the Israelites. They fight battles on the way
back. David is their
King forever, and the Father will live with them
forever at His future return.
This is truly an
amazing story. What happens after
