It's amazing to watch this Exodus... and before I even got the part where you quote Jeremiah, I was already thinking of it... In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel [ the lost tribes] shall come, they and the children of Judah [The modern day Jews]together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. Amen!

It's sometimes easy to become doubtful of the "rightness" of my position outside of mainstream religion. It has become "in vogue" to "go to church," but I have played that game long enough and seek only to seek God's face and serve Him as He personally leads me. Mainstream religion would have you believe "serving God" means serving their organization. Bless you, my friend! Thank you for the reminder!
