One of a City, Two of a Family

Answers Concerning Prophecies and things future #24

One of a City, Two of a Family

The text in which these words occur reads thus:

“I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion” (Jer. iii. 14).

The context shows the message was addressed, not to the Two Tribes, but to the Ten (6-11), and has reference to their restoration. This work of restoration will mean a purging out of the rebels (Ezek. xx. 38), and those who survived will be, as it were, individually gathered in.

Another prophet’s commentary on the work is:

“Ye shall be gathered one by one, Ο ye children of Israel” (Isa. XXvii. 12).
