What is the captivity from which Israel will be returning?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Is This Captivity?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biblical term <em>captivity<\/em> is often a reference to Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom or house of Israel, being brought out of captivity by YHVH (Ezek 16:53). Also compare Isaiah 61:1 with Luke\u202f4:18\u201321 where, while preaching in the region of Galilee and Nazareth (the historic homeland of the Northern Kingdom or House of Israel), Yeshua quotes the Isaiah 61 passage relating it to his ministry to the ten tribes of the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matt 10:6). Yeshua states that it was his mission \u201cto preach the gospel to the poor \u2026 to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captive and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bound, to preach the acceptable year of YHVH.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To what\u201ccaptivity\u201d is Yeshua referring? Is it a physical or spiritual captivity? Compare this with Revelation 18:4 where YHVH states that his people (the saints) are enslaved to the last days\u2019 Babylon the Great religious-economic-political system and must come out of it. What is this religious part of this system that he is now calling his people to leave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deuteronomy 29:28, <em>Cast them into another land.<\/em> <\/strong>\u201cThis verse also alludes to the fate of [those Israelites] who had become so assimilated among other peoples that their [i.e. the Israelite\u2019s] origins had become forgotten. When the final redemption comes, these hidden ones known only to [Elohim] will be reunited with the rest of the nation and be restored to the status of their forefathers\u201d (<em>The ArtScroll<\/em> <em>Stone Edition Chumash<\/em>, p. 1090). To whom is the author referring here? Who became assimilated among the peoples and forgot their origins? Who is it that Elohim will bring out of hiding from among the nations where he, in judgment, scattered them and reunite with the Jews (the tribe of Judah) in the end times during what the Jews refer to as \u201cthe final redemption\u201d? In Jewish thought, what is the \u201cfinal redemption\u201d? (For the answer, read Ezek 34:13; 36:24; Isa 56:8; Matt 24:29\u201344; Acts 1:6; 1\u2009Cor 15:51\u201353; Rev 11:15\u201318.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Another land. <\/em><\/strong>Let\u2019s next notice a quote from the ancient apocryphal book of <em>2\u2009Esdras <\/em>13:40-45(elsewhere known as <em>The Fourth Book of Ezra<\/em>; quoted from <em>Lange\u2019s Commentary<\/em>; bracketed phrases are from an alternate translation by James H.

But they took this counsel [formed this plan] amongst themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen [nations], and go forth into a further country [a more distant region], where mankind never dwelt, that they might there keep their own statutes, which they had not kept in their own land. But they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the river; for the Most High then wrought signs for them, and held still the waves [stopped the channels] of the river till they had passed over.
