Verse Takeaways

God's Sovereign Restoration
All commentators agree that this verse is a powerful promise of God's sovereign intervention. He will not abandon His people but will actively "stir them up" or "raise them" from their place of oppression. This shows that no human action or geographical distance can ultimately thwart God's plan to restore and defend His own.
