God warned Israel that if they were not faithful to obey His laws and commandments, He would banish them from their land to wander the nations: The Lord will scatter you among all the peoples, from one end of the earth to the other (Deut. 28:64). Indeed, this came to pass. The descendants of Jacob have been scattered to almost every nation on earth. But in His mercy and faithfulness, God also promised the day would come when He would bring them back: When all these things happen to you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you remember them among all the nations, where the Lord your God has driven you, then you must return to the Lord your God and obey His voice according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul. Then the Lord your God will overturn your captivity and have compassion on you and will return and gather you from all the nations, where the Lord your God has scattered you (Deut. 30:1-3).
