25, 26. Fulfilled in part at the restoration from Babylon, when Judaism, so far from being merged in heathenism, made inroads by conversions on the idolatry of surrounding nations. The full accomplishment is yet future, when Israel, under Christ, shall be the center of Christendom; of which an earnest was given in the woman from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon who sought the Saviour (Mt 15:21, 24, 26-28; compare Isa 11:12).

     13. And I will bring them out from the people, &c.— (Eze 28:25; 36:24; 37:21, 22; Isa 65:9, 10; Jer 23:3).

     24. Fulfilled primarily in the restoration from Babylon; ultimately to be so in the restoration "from all countries."
