Will God protect us from ultimate harm?
Wikipedia ) It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left (Isa 11:11a). This prophecy speaks of a day when the remnant of God will be gathered together. While the prophecy was fulfilled in part at different times during Israel ’s history (i.e. the deliverance that took place under Zerubbabel , discussed in Ezra 2:2), it also reminds us of the kingdom of Christ . During the deliverance under Zerubbabel, not all Israelites were brought back from Egypt, Ethiopia , and other countries. Only in the kingdom of Christ is this deliverance fulfilled by the preaching of the Gospel . Though the remnant be scattered throughout the earth, those who are Christ’s sheep hear His voice and follow Him. He “gathers” His people by the preaching of His Word and by the calling of His Spirit. No matter how much opposition there is toward the church in any given age, the Lord will gather His people to Himsel
