The Father knows His children and seeks out those who He knew from the beginning would believe in Him and accept His plan of salvation in Christ Jesus. His children are in every nation and in every denomination and one day all will be gathered into His Kingdom to share with Him everlasting life. He is the same from generation to generation and throughout all time.
Israel, though guilty and misguided, would eventually be rescued by the divine Good Shepherd and restored to the Promised Land.
Ezekiel 34:11-16
11 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 tI will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. 16 “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.”
