CHAPTER 10
Judah and Joseph shall be sown among the people in far countries—The
Lord will hiss for them and gather them and redeem them.
|
|
|
1 ASK ye of the LORD rain in the time of the
alatter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the
adiviners have seen a lie, and have told false
bdreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their
way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no
cshepherd.

3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4 Out of him came forth athe corner,
out of him the bnail, out of him the battle bow, out of him
every oppressor together.

5 ¶ And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will
save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I
have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off:
for I am the LORD their God, and will ahear them.

7 And they of aEphraim shall
be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine:
yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall
rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will hiss for them, and agather
them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have
increased.
9 And I will asow them among the
people: and they shall bremember me in far
countriesa; and
they shall live with their children, and turn
againb.

9a they shall remeber me in far
countires Ephraim remembering and coming to the Lord in a far
country is a prophetic utterance concerning the coming of the restoration of
Gospel and Church of Jesus Christ in America, The Americas being the far
countries so mentioned
9b they shall live with their children,
and turn again This can have a dualistic application and meaning.
'Turning again' is the act of repenting and coming unto the Lord. That they
would 'live with their children' brings to mind the prophecies and fulments
concerning the coming of Elijah to turn the hearts of the children to the
fathers, and the fathers to the children, which when applied to the temple
ordinances of sealing families, children to their parents, the application
and meaning suddenly turns to the fact that there will be eternal family
units in the Celestial Kingdom where the ordinances of salvation are
performed for the ancestoral fathers and families to be united as one in the
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

10 I will bring them again also out of the land of
Egypt, and gather them out of aAssyria; and I will bring
them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found
for them.
11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction,
and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall
dry up: and the pride of aAssyria shall be brought down,
and the bsceptre of cEgypt shall depart
away.
12 And I will astrengthen them in
the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his bname,
saith the LORD.
