Therefore thus saith the Lord
The Jews having been long punished for their sins; and being
brought to repentance for them, and to faith in Christ, as they
will be in the latter day: hence it follows, now will I
bring again the captivity of Jacob;
or the captives of Jacob, the people of Israel, that have been
carried captive into all lands; these shall be gathered from
thence, and brought into their own land: and have mercy
upon the whole house of Israel;
all the twelve tribes; which shows that this has not respect to
the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; for then
the Lord had mercy on the house of Judah only; or the two tribes
of Judah and Benjamin; but their return from their present
captivity, and future conversion, when all Israel shall be
saved;
as the fruit and effect of the rich sovereign grace and mercy of
God unto them, ( Romans 11:25
Romans
11:26 ) : and will be jealous for my holy
name;
or, "zealous" F12 for the glory of it, that it be no
more blasphemed among the Heathen; and that it be glorified among
his own people.
