YAHUAH says that he will scatter to the four corners and gather as well even the house of Yahudah th that was sent into slavery which is the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Joel 3rd chapter.

Chris's comment on 2021-02-21 03:35:38:

As you would have read this chapter in entirety, the Lord God promises blessings or curses upon Israel, depending on how they behaved towards Him. Verses 1-14: the blessings (the good things from the Lord) & verses 15-68: the curses (the evil things from the Lord).

So, in verse 68, the thought here is: just as you (Israel) were brought out of Egypt by God's mighty Hand of deliverance, taken triumphantly & miraculously through the midst of the Red Sea & eventually brought into the Promised Land as a free people of God, so to, God will do the opposite if you refuse the Lord & disobey His Commandments. Instead of deliverance, Israel would be sent back into slavery. And from research (as Josephus reports), Emperor Titus, who ransacked Jerusalem & the Temple in AD 70, also did heinous things to the Jews - many were killed by his men or mistreated very badly. Thousands (the young & fit among the Jewish men & women) were sent into slavery in Egypt, going chained in ships. But there were so many of them, that the Egyptian markets were filled with Jewish slaves, so their price was either very low, or they remained unsold. This very sad event appears as a fulfilment of God's Promise to those who despised His Word throughout their generations & in spite of their captivities to the Assyrians & Babylonians earlier on.

I repeat, the above account of Israel's slavery in Egypt, is not in Scripture, but from the historians, one of whom was Josephus. And this account has nothing to do with those sent to America as slaves.

Sharon's comment on 2021-02-20 23:43:27:

The problem or maybe the changing of the meaning what is the problem because it reads like YAHUAH will take Israel back by ships, but this time no one will buy us. When slave came to America they were brought and sold. So is there a going back as slaves, but no one will buy us?

Look at the back of an American Dollar..... Do you see Egypt????? Wake up

Bridget's comment on 2013-10-28 17:09:11:

The true Israelites are still scattered around the world. There is only one people I know of that came to America, the islands and other places by ship in bondage and that is the Black people who came by the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The first enslavement the Hebrews were in was in Egypt. They came out of bondage in Egypt by foot across the Red Sea. They were enslaved there 430 years approximately. The second enslavement and punishment of curses was spoken by Moses that God had gave him word of. The second enslavement would last 400 years and that this time the Children of Israel would be under a curse of God because of their disobedience and be enslaved 400 years. This time back to Egypt in ships. Egypt represented the first place of enslavement but this time by ships. Egypt representing enslavement. What other people is that but the so-called Black people who have been sent all around the world by slave ships. But then Deuteronomy 30 mentions the end of their enslavement. That their enemies who hate them will become accursed as they were. They will come out of the curse and be regathered again some time in the future.

Does that mean the rapture is actually the return to Jerusalem

Mike Forde's comment on 2013-08-31 16:28:12:

Hyksos Exodus we have evidence of. Hyksos suddenly disappear from history. A Jewish empire or ancient Israel we have no evidence of. Jewish people do well financially and certainly could not be called scattered or enslaved. They form groups wherever they go. They are not scattered. You do the math.

edward banks's comment on 2013-06-09 11:48:15:

This is so true the Israelites were scattered around the world. They are hated even to this day and do not know who they are or whose they are these people in Israel told Jesus they never been in bondage to any man so they cannot be Israel (John 8:32-33 )

martin's comment on 2011-02-23 17:11:07:

History said the Isrealite who excape the seige fled to Africa.(the wilderness)Egypt was a place of refuge for the isrealite when their enemy came against them. In the Bible Egypt is refered to as a "house of bondage" in ancient time until this day people walk from isreal to eygypt they never needed to get on ships to go to eygpt. even Joseph was told by the angel to take the child and his mother and flee to eygpt.the eygpt of deut: 28 vs 68 is refering to a house of bondage. SHIPS WILL TAKE THE ISREALITE BACK INTO SLAVERY OR BONDAGE. The isrealites who escape to Africa after the seige of jerusalem did not just stayed in eygpt the moved all over the continent from north africa to west africa setting the stage for the slave ships to arrive. one thousand two hundred plus years later after the fall of jerusalem the slave ships came fulfilling deut:28 vs 68. another thing to look at is the signs that will be upon the isrealite deut:28 vs 46 these sign will follow them forever thats the sign you look for. The people who came on the slave ships are the true house of Isreal.

Ron's comment on 2011-01-20 17:34:49:

I know that it is addressing the slaves that were brought to tne New World in slave ships, with iron collars around their necks, as this was the return to slavery prophesied in Deuteronomy 28:68, for the curse of disobedience was upon the True Israelites. The Khazars were never in Egypt, and had no knowledge of Kemet, when Moses wrote Deuteronomy. If fact, the Khazars, who are are a Turkic Mongol mongrels, did not even exist in the time of Moses. Yet, the world is ignorant of the hoax of the Khazars, as the Seed of Abraham.
