The house of Jacob broke the covenant at Mount Sinai by worshipping the golden calf (Exodus 32:4- 8). As a result, they were scattered into the nations of the world (Deuteronomy 28:64). In their exile, the prophets of Israel regarded them as being poor and afflicted (Isaiah 49:13), sick (Ezekiel 34:16), lame (Jeremiah 31:8), wounded (Jeremiah 30:12), deaf and blind (Isaiah 42:18-19), lost (Jeremiah 50:6), adulterous (Ezekiel 16:30-38) and in 'niddah' (Ezekiel 36:17). Yeshua's ministry is to exiles of Israel who are blind, poor, lame, lepers and dead (Matthew 11:5). Our ministry is to proclaim Yeshua and the following of His Torah to the exiles of Israel (Luke 14:13-14)
