What does it mean to seek Yahovah with all your heart before the gathering?

This Teaching introduces the ‘Greater Exodus’ or ‘Second Exodus’ as a future gathering and wilderness experience that the speaker connects with the time of Jacob’s trouble. It compares the first Exodus from Egypt with prophecies concerning Judah, the scattered House of Israel/Ephraim, and a future recovery of Yahovah’s people from the nations. The Teaching emphasizes Matthew 24, Isaiah 11, Ezekiel 20, Hosea 2, Jeremiah, Revelation 12 and 18, and the principle that earlier biblical events were written for instruction. It presents the wilderness as a place of discipline, faith-building, holiness, protection, nourishment, and preparation. It also connects Ephraim’s ‘multitude of nations’ in Genesis 48 with the ‘fullness of the Gentiles’ in Romans 11, stresses seeking Yahovah with the whole heart, and argues that the future gathering will involve both Judah and the House of Israel. Part 1 ends by introducing the expectation that Yahovah will again show wonders comparable to those of the first Exodus; preparation and those wonders are reserved for Part 2.
