Why were they CHOSEN then SCATTERED and then GATHERED; WHY?

Why were they CHOSEN then SCATTERED and then GATHERED; WHY?

(Deu7:6 KJV) For thou art aholy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

(Deu7:7 KJV) The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

(Deu7:8 KJV) But because theLORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had swornunto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand,and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand ofPharaoh King of Egypt.

(Deu7:9 KJV) Know thereforethat the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepethcovenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandmentsto a thousand generations;

(Deu7:11 KJV) Thou shalttherefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments,which I command thee this day, to do them.

(Deu7:12 KJV) Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers:

(Deu7:13 KJV) And he will lovethee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruitof thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, andthine oil, theincrease of thy kin,and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.


------- THEN FOR SOME REASON--------
---------EVERYTHING CHANGED-----------
Why?

(Ezek 36:17 KJV) Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land,they defiled it by their ..own way and by their doings:their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

(Ezek 36:18 KJV) Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon theland, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it.

(Ezek 36:22 KJV) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ido not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but formine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among theheathen, whither ye went.

(Ezek 36:24 KJV) For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

(Ezek 36:31 KJV) Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

(Ezek 36:32 KJV) Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, Ohouse of Israel.

Nothing, They are still here. Still keeping their Torah. Still a holy people to G-d. The covenant is forever.

Jeremiah 31:37
"This is what the LORD says: Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below explored, will I reject all of Israel's descendants because of all they have done--this is the LORD's declaration.


You cannot measure the heavens. G-d will never reject Israel.

  • We were Scattered as the Sanhedrin murdered the Lord's Messiah (Luke 19:41-44), (Zechariah 11, Jeremiah 25:30-38, Ezekiel 4-7)
  • chosen to be a vessel of a Holy Work, because once our righteousness meant more to us than burnt offerings,
  • gathered for the fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 12:1-6)...
In my opinion. :innocent:

Deut. 28-30.
It's all there.
We need to take into account where Malachi 4:5-6 speaks of the Curse being placed, it is a prophecy fulfilled by John the Baptist coming before Yeshua (Matthew 11:13-15)...

That due to us rejecting our Lord's Messiah as prophesied we suffered (Luke 19:41-44).

In my opinion. :innocent:

Deut. 28-30.

28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30 The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

Tumah, the above doesn't tell me where they went and when I looked at their stay in Egypt they flourished and prospered.

I am no closer to knowing the truth now than I was before

"will I reject all of Israel's descendants because of all they have done--this is the LORD's declaration."

The above reads more like God was deciding; will I or will I not?

There is a lot of "I will do this or that"; if they "do this or that" in the biblical verses. What happens next is also written; "you shall be no more remembered"

and with that I found this--

According to a 2002 study by the Jewish Agency, "the number of Jews in the world is declining at an average of 50,000 per year."

Is this a prophesy being fulfilled?

Not Deut. 1:28-30. Deuteronomy chapters 28-30.

You can spew all the stupidity you want on here. But don't tag me with it.

The Biblical prophecy is not stupidity, and if you understood it, then you'd never dream to say something so silly.

Ezekiel

25And you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

26Thus says the Lord GOD; Remove the turban, and take off the crown: this shall not remain the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

27I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.

31And I will pour out my indignation upon you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutal men, skilful to destroy.

32You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

According to a 2002 study by the Jewish Agency, "the number of Jews in the world is declining at an average of 50,000 per year."

International law and Israeli settlements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The international community considers the establishment of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories illegal under international law

Numerous UN resolutions have stated that the building and existence of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights are a violation of international law. The reconvened Conference of the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions has declared the settlements illegal[15] as has the primary judicial organ of the UN, the International Court of Justice[16] and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The majority of legal scholars hold the settlements to violate international law, while others have offered dissenting views supporting the Israeli position.[2]

Personally; I believe these illegal settlements should be bombed out of existence
