1 Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svom, jer si pao svog radi bezakonja.

2 Uzmite sa sobom reči, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite Mu: Oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daćemo žrtve usana svojih.

3 Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, nećemo jahati na konjima, niti ćemo više govoriti delu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u Tebe nalazi milost sirota.

4 Isceliću otpad njihov, ljubiću ih drage volje; jer će se gnev moj odvratiti od njega.

5 Biću kao rosa Izrailju, procvetaće kao ljiljan i pustiće žile svoje kao drveta livanska.

6 Raširiće se grane njegove, i lepota će mu biti kao u masline i miris kao livanski.

7 Oni će se vratiti i sedeti pod senom njegovim, rađaće kao žito i cvetaće kao vinova loza; spomen će mu biti kao vino livansko.

8 Jefreme, šta će mi više idoli? Ja ću ga uslišiti i gledati; ja ću mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.

9 Ko je mudar, neka razume ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putevi Gospodnji, i pravednici će hoditi po njima, a prestupnici će pasti na njima.

36. That a trinity of Gods is contrary to Holy Scripture is well known, for it is written:

Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides Me; a just God and a Saviour there is none besides Me.Isaiah 45:21-22.

I, Jehovah, am thy God... and thou shalt acknowledge no God besides Me for there is no Saviour besides Me. Hosea 13:4.

Thus saith Jehovah the King of Israel, and His Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth: I am the First and I am the Last, and besides Me there is no God.Isaiah 44:6.

Jehovah Zebaoth is His Name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called.Isaiah 54:5.

In that day... Jehovah shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one Jehovah and His Name One. Zechariah 14:9.

There are also many more such passages.

6304. 'And will bring you back to the land of your fathers' means to the state of both Ancient Churches. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, dealt with in 566, 661, 1066, 1067, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355, 4575, 4447, 5577; and from the meaning of 'fathers' as those who belonged to the Ancient Church and the Most Ancient Church, dealt with in 6075. To the state of both Ancient Churches is said to be meant because the sons of Israel and their descendants, like members of the Ancient Churches, were to represent in specific detail the Lord's celestial and spiritual kingdom. That representation was actually established - among the Jewish nation a representation of the celestial kingdom, and among the Israelite people a representation of the spiritual kingdom. But with that generation nothing of the Church or of the Lord's kingdom could be established, only what was a mere representation, for they wished to see and acknowledge in representatives only what was external, and nothing at all internal.

[2] However, so that the overall representation might be effected, and through it some communication with heaven might exist, and through heaven with the Lord, they were restricted to externals; and at that time the Lord saw to it that communication might take place through external representation alone devoid of any internal. This was the state to which Jacob's descendants could be 'brought back'. Yet inwardly, external representatives among those descendants concealed Divine matters, in the highest sense those which had regard to the Lord's Divine Human, and in the relative sense those which had regard to the Lord's kingdom in heaven and to the Church. This state of both Ancient Churches is what is meant by the promise that God will bring them back to the land of their fathers.
