What a momentous announcement comes in chapter 18, and so much more singular as we have noticed the setting. The consumption of the Land and nations surrounding have been before us. Now a call, "Ha," and a summons to the whole world, a trumpet blast, and an ensign to serve notice to the nations that God is gathering His people again. Some nation beyond the borders of the Land shall be used to bring the people back to Judah. After a season the Land will be desolated by the nations, yet in a remnant a present shall be brought to Jehovah, and by that holy seed a present shall be brought, too. It is not difficult to identify by the description who is brought back.
