A Promise for Israel & the Church

Commentators consistently see a dual fulfillment in this promise. It refers to a literal restoration of the Jewish people to their land, both historically after the Babylonian exile and prophetically in the future. At the same time, it serves as a powerful image for the spiritual gathering of all believers (the Church) from all nations into the safety and provision of Christ's fold.
