The Future of Israel and Judah

Ask the Lord for rain and the Lord will bring the clouds filled with the showers of rain to grow the grass and the crops of the field. Idols have spoken vain things, diviners have seen lies and told false dreams.

They comfort everyone with their false words in vain. The result; men have gone the way of a lost flock. They have been troubled in life because there was no shepherd.

“My anger was ignited against the shepherds, I punished the goat-leaders because I visited my flock, the house of Judah,” says the Lord of hosts.

The Lord’s Flock is Strong and Ready

“I have made My flock strong and ready as a horse in battle,” says the Lord.

Out of the house of Judah came the cornerstone and the post, and the battle bow, as well as every oppressor. They will be like mighty men who walk all over their enemies in battle. They will fight and fight well because the Lord is with them. Their enemies will be confounded and perplexed on their horses.

“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and salvage the house of Joseph,” says the Lord. “I will bring them and place them in their land,” says the Lord, “Because I have mercy on them and love them!” “It will be as though I never cast them aside because I am the Lord their God, I will hear them,” says the Sovereign Lord.

Israel and Judah are Mighty Men

Ephraim will be mighty men and they will rejoice in true happiness like they are filled with wine. Their children will see it and be beyond gladness. They will rejoice in the Lord in soul and spirit.

“I will hiss for them and gather them because I have already redeemed them,” says the Lord God.

“They will increase, more and more, and I will sow them among the people,” says the Lord of hosts.

“They will remember Me in far-off countries, they will live with their children and turn back to Me,” says the Lord.

“I will bring them again out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria, and bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon until the land overflows with them,” says the King of Israel.

Passing Through the Waters of Affliction

The house of Israel will pass through the waters of affliction and beat the waves in the sea. All the deeps of the river will dry up, so will the pride of Assyria be brought down. The power and scepter of Egypt will depart and fade away.

“I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk up and down the earth in His name,” says the Lord.
