(June 4, 2014)
I had a thought occur to me as I read through this chapter today on what it meant for the House of Israel (“remnant of the house of Jacob”) to scatter the Gentiles. I always assumed that it was talking about a racial/familial sense of the House of Israel, but this time I read it as talking about a spiritual House of Israel, and the spiritual remnant of the house of Jacob. It was one of those moments when everything that I was reading changed in perspective to me. I am not certain that this new perspective is correct, but it is intriguing nonetheless.
