Behold, the Lord shall set His hand again to gather the remnant of His people. From the north country, from the coasts of the earth, the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she that travaileth together, shall return in a great company. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will He lead them; He will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, that they shall not stumble. For the Lord is a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is His firstborn. As a shepherd gathers His flock, so shall He gather them, and keep them.
The Lord shall set up an ensign for the nations, a visible standard under which the scattered children of Israel shall assemble. Outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah shall be gathered from the four corners of the earth. With mighty hand, stretched-out arm, and the fury of His power poured out, He will bring them from the peoples among whom they were scattered. Just as He pleaded with their fathers in the wilderness of Egypt, so shall He plead with them face to face, in a time of testing and teaching, to bring them into the land He has promised.
From every side He shall gather them, and bring them into their own land. No longer shall Israel and Judah be two nations; He shall make them one nation, and one king shall reign over them all. They shall dwell safely in the mountains of Israel, and their hearts shall be turned to Him. Their eyes shall be opened to know the Lord, and they shall ask the way to Zion, saying, “Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.”
In that day, the Lord will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Him forever. He will cleanse them from all their iniquity, giving them a new heart and a new spirit. His Spirit will be within them, guiding them to walk in His statutes, to keep His judgments, and to dwell permanently in the land He gave to their fathers. They shall be His people, and He shall be their God.
The Lord Himself will lead them, caring for the weak, the burdened, and the weary. They shall come from east and west, from north and south; the coasts of the earth shall send them. They shall no more say, “The Lord brought us up out of Egypt,” but, “The Lord liveth, who brought us and led us from the north country, from all countries whither He had driven us; and we shall dwell in our own land.”
And thus shall the righteous Branch, the Messiah, reign. Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell safely, and all nations shall witness the goodness and prosperity the Lord bestows. The gathering of the lost tribes will be complete, a testimony to the world of His power, His mercy, and His everlasting covenant with His people.
This narrative combines Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zephaniah, and Amos, showing how God moves the multitude of lost tribes: personally, globally, safely, and spiritually, at the time of Jesus’ second advent.
