Go and teach all nations
Leviticus 26:34-39
The LORD will punish people; the land will enjoys its Sabbaths and the people in exiled to foreign lands were not to think they were beyond God’s punitive reach - His sixth attempt to call the Children of Israel back to Himself
v34 The land will have a Sabbath rest while there are no people in it.
v35 All the time that it is empty, the land will have rest. It will have the Sabbath rest that it did not have. It did not have it when you lived in it.
v36 Some of Israel’s people will remain in other countries. They will be frightened. A leaf that is blowing in the wind will cause them to run away. It will be like when an enemy is running after them. They will fall even if no enemy is running after them.
v37 They will fall over each other when nobody is running after them. They will not be strong enough to fight their enemies.
v38 They will die in the countries where they are living. Those countries will cause their deaths.
v39 Those who remain here will die because of their sins. They will die because their fathers and grandfathers did not obey the Lord.
