What does Deuteronomy 30:3 promise God will do for Israel after centuries of dispersion?
Deuteronomy 30:3 promises that after Israel has been dispersed for centuries, the LORD will turn their captivity, have compassion on them, and gather them from all the nations where He scattered them. It is the promise and covenant that God will bring them back and return them to their homeland.
Les explains that God knew Israel would become the wandering Jew, without a homeland, persecuted, and driven from place to place. The promise in verse 3 is that after they had been dispersed for centuries, the LORD would turn their captivity, have compassion on them, and gather them from all the nations where He had scattered them. Les notes many Jews lost sight of that promise, but God's Word is true. In our own generation God has been bringing them back from every nation under heaven. At one time it was documented that Jews in Israel had come from 133 different sovereign nations; they were driven everywhere and are coming home. Some nations no longer have Jews, such as Albania, and Syria has only a few hundred left, while Russia and America still have large numbers.
And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
