Isaiah 27:13

"It will happen in that day that the LORD will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel."

Key Reflection

This verse envisions a future day when God will gather the dispersed children of Israel, symbolically "threshing" them out from their far-flung lands between the Euphrates and Egypt to bring them back to their homeland. It foretells both judgment and restoration, reflecting themes of divine sovereignty over history and ultimate redemption for God's people.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The great trumpet shall be blown -This verse is designed to describe in another mode the same fact as that stated inIsaiah 27:12, that Yahweh would re-collect his scattered people. The figure is derived from the trumpet which was blown to assemble a people for war (Grotius); or from the blowing of the trumpet on occasion of the great feasts and festivals of the Jews (Vitringa). The idea is, that God would summon the scattered people to return to their own land. The “way” in which this was done, or in which the will of God would be made known to them, is not specified.
