Jeremiah 23:³ “I myself will gather what remains of my flock from all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their homes, and they will be fruitful and increase their numbers. ⁴ I will appoint shepherds over them who will shepherd them; then they will no longer be afraid or disgraced; and none will be missing,” says Adonai. ⁵ “The days are coming,” says Adonai when I will raise a righteous Branch for David. He will reign as king and succeed, he will do what is just and right in the land. ⁶ In his days Y’hudah will be saved, Isra’el will live in safety, and the name given to him will be Adonai Tzidkenu [Adonai our righteousness]. ⁷ “Therefore,” says Adonai, “the day will come when people no longer swear, ‘As Adonai lives, who brought the people of Isra’el out of the land of Egypt,’ ⁸ but, ‘As Adonai lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Isra’el up from the land to the north’ and from all the countries where I drove them. Then they will live in their own land.”

Amos 9:11 “When that day comes, I will raise up

the fallen sukkah of David. I will close up its gaps, raise up its ruins and rebuild it as it used to be, ¹² so that Isra’el can possess what is left of Edom and of all the nations bearing my name,”

says Adonai, who is doing this. ¹³ “The days will come,” says Adonai, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the one treading grapes the one sowing seed. Sweet wine will drip down the mountains, and all the hills will flow with it. ¹⁴ I will restore the fortunes of my people Isra’el; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities; they will plant vineyards and drink their wine, cultivate gardens and eat their fruit.

¹⁵ I will plant them on their own soil, no more to be uprooted from their land, which I gave them,”says Adonai your G-d.

Mark 13:²⁶ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory. ²⁷ He will send out his angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

The first two passages, Jeremiah and Amos, are end-time prophecies that point to a future time in the last days, where the exiles of Israel return to the Promised Land. We are awaiting the fulfillment of these promises where the Most High gathers His children from the four corners of the earth where He scattered us (cf. Isaiah 11:11-12).

The Mark 13 scriptures tells us the Messiah is returning and doing the gathering, and if you read the entire chapter and Matthew 24, we can see that the signs are all around, and the time of His return is coming near. We have to be more steadfast than ever to live holy, set apart lives as the chosen remnant despite widespread sin, cultural corruption, and being hated for standing for what the Most High says is right and just! Obey His commandments for it is only those who keep His word who truly love Him, and the He (Father) will love them, come to them, and make His home with them (John 14:21-23).

Beloved, it may difficult sometimes, but we are chosen for such a time as this! It is an honor and privilege to be trusted to walk with the Most High and follow the example of the Messiah.

The Sabbath is approaching…

Prepare to enjoy the set aside day of rest, finding delight in spending time with the Most High, and observing the Sabbath a day made for us that produces of itself (cf. Mark 2:27).

Shalom Aleichem ❤️
