God is deeply committed to the regathering and restoration of Israel as part of His overarching work of salvation. His determined action involves searching out the lands of Israel's enemies to find and return scattered Israelites to the Land of Promise, as defined from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates. Restoration means bringing Israel back into His favor, an act that includes forgiving their sins on a single day and a gradual process of increasing their wealth and prestige among nations. This restoration follows punishment for their sins, as God corrects Israel repeatedly to reverse their accelerating rate of sin, ultimately scattering them when their iniquities become full. In the time of Jacob's trouble, God promises to regather and restore Israel, punishing gentile nations in the process, with a focus on His purpose to return them to national prominence in the latter days. The trigger for severe punishment is the multitude of their iniquities and the increase of their sins, which God measures and responds to with justice. Yet, His faithfulness to the covenant ensures both punishment in full and blessings beyond belief afterward. God will use both blessings and curses to send a message to Israel, prospering them in their exile to highlight the contrast with the curses of tribulation, ensuring the destruction decreed overflows with righteousness. As a shepherd, He who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them, demonstrating His severity and goodness. This regathering is essential as a prelude to a greater restoration, where God adds value by giving Israel a new heart and spirit, enabling them to walk in His statutes and remain faithful under the New Covenant, never again to backslide. The restoration process is conditional, dependent on repentance and obedience, as God will not tolerate rebellion among the regathered Israel, judging them and rejecting those who refuse to follow Him wholly. His aim is for Israel to become a holy people, ready to carry out His will. In the Millennium and beyond, Christ, as the good Shepherd, will lead restored Israelites out of Jerusalem to preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God to Gentiles and minister to Israelites residing outside the Promised Land, assigning them territories as part of an orderly plan to bring salvation worldwide. God's commitment to restoring Israel to faithfulness and prestige among nations is crucial for their role in carrying the gospel, His power of salvation, to the entire world. Just as He has used converted people in prominent nations today, in the World Tomorrow, He will lead converted Israelites from the foremost nation of Israel to proclaim the gospel to all who have ever lived, fulfilling His promise that when this gospel is preached in all the world, the end will come.
