Ezekiel 6:8

“Yet will I leave a remnant, &c.] Not in Judea, but in Babylon, and in the countries where they should be dispersed, as follows: that ye may have [some] that shall escape the sword among the nations; which was threatened to be drawn, and sent after them, (<260502>Ezekiel 5:2,12); but all should not perish by if; some should escape; for this was not the time to make a full end of them: when ye shall be scattered through the countries; that is, of Egypt, Ammon, Moab, and Assyria; for this respects their dispersion at the time of the Babylonish captivity, and not their present dispersion.”

Unfortunately, Israel’s behavior throughout their history showed that they had forgotten. They would…”

“The survivors shall go away into banishment amongst the heathen, and shall remember the word of the Lord that will have been fulfilled. - Eze 6:8. But I shall preserve a remnant, in that there shall be to you some who have escaped the sword among the nations, when he shall be dispersed among the lands. Eze 6:9. And those of you who have escaped, will make mention of me among the nations whither they are led captive, when I have broken to me their whorish heart, which had departed from me, and their eyes, which went a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves because of the evil which they have done in reference to all their abominations. Eze 6:10. And ye shall know that I…”
