DISPERSION OF ALL OF ISERAL INTO THE NATIONS
IF you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands…I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you…
But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, and if instead you reject My statutes and if you soul abhors my ordinances so as not carry out all my commandments,…
you, however I will scatter among the nations.
LEV. 26: 3, 9, 14, 33

“If you do not carefully follow all the words …written in this book, and do not revere this glorious & awesome name -the Lord your God…You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be but few in number and then the LORD will scatter you among all nations.” DEUT. 28:58
Does either passage say God will scatter just the Jews from the tribe of Judah
To whom is God speaking & saying He will scatter among all nations? __________________
“And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you. And there you will serve gods, the work of man’s hands, wood and stone…But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him if you search for him with all your heart and all your soul.” DEUT. 4:27-30
Where does God say he will scatter the tribes of Israel
So the Israelis will be idolatrous but then they will again be believers in the one true God if they do what? ____________________________________________________________
Hs them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.a 1:10 KJV - Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto
This prophecy was given specifically to the Northern Kingdom of Israel not to the Southern tribe of Judah. This is not talking about the Jews, but the Northern Kingdom most often referred to as Israel. This is very evident when you see in the next verse both Kingdoms being united together when they turn to the Messiah. This has not happened yet.
Hosea 1:11 KJV - Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.
. Neh. 1:8
Remember what you commanded your servant Moses: If you transgress and are unfaithful, I will scatter you abroad among the nations (Lev 26:33). But if you return to me and keep My commandments and then, though your outcasts were in the farthest part of the heavens or at the farthest horizon, yet will I gather them from there and bring them to the place in which I chosen to set My Name.
Nehmiah prayed this prayer when he heard the plight of the remaining Jews in Jerusalem because he knew God's promises through Moses. Yet the people that returned to the Land with Ezra and Nehemiah represented only a small fraction of what had been dispersed from the Southern Kingdom of Judah. It did not include the Northern Kingdom. They continued living where they were and became interspersed into the nations as predicted by Jacob, Moses and Solomon

Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, The LORD will surely separate me from His People…to them I will give in My house and with MY walls a memorial, and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off. Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to Him and love THE NAME OF THE LORD to be his servants, every one who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and holds fast MY covenant; even those I’ll bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer.
