Did God know in Deuteronomy 30 that Israel would be dispersed more than once?
Yes. Deuteronomy 30:1 records God's prophecy that Israel would experience blessings and curses and be driven among all nations, showing He knew beforehand they would be dispersed more than once. The context calls it a prophecy that had not yet happened, revealing God's foreknowledge of Israel's repeated scattering.
Les teaches that Deuteronomy 30:1 is a covenant passage where God speaks and prophesies Israel's future. The verse says that when the blessings and curses come upon Israel, they will call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD has driven them. Les emphasizes this was a prophecy that had not yet happened, yet God already knew the nation of Israel would be dispersed more than once. This demonstrates God's foreknowledge of Israel's repeated scattering, contrasting with false claims like British Israelism that misapply the promises.
And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
