I think a lot of people missed that too. They are waiting to see the people gathered to a place, but that is not what was prophesied...Luke 1:33 - He will rule over the “House of Jacob” and his Kingdom will have no end. House of Jacob implies the full 12 tribes and the Levites. So there must be a re-gathering first - the “greater exodus.”
Israel said "The scepter shall not depart from Judah ....till Shiloh be come and TO HIM will the gathering of the people be."
Now a whole lot of those already gathered TO HIM were also brought to this blessed land (that fits the described land of Israel in Ezekiel) by the millions!
.....so maybe folks missed that too?
I have yet to hear someone watching the modetn state of israeli explain why in light of Jeremiah chapter 7.....
