Introduction:

An important prophecy or prophetic promise by the Most High was that He “shall turn back the captivity (or captives)” of His people, Israel, in the end-time.
They were sent into captivity, they went into exile, they were sent into dispersion, they were scattered among the Gentile nations because they did not obey the voice of Yahuweh, they did not observe to do all the words of the Teaching (Law). Likewise, their return to the land is accompanied by, or preceded by, their return (turning back) to Yahuweh and to obey His voice.
This physical return to the land of Israel is not the important issue at stake. No, the all-important requisite and essential goal is that they turn back to Him and obey His voice and observe to do all the words of the Teaching!

Excerpts from "Come Out of Her, My People" by the Institute for Scripture Research

"The Assyrians practiced a unique method of controlling newly conquered lands during this time period: They scattered the leading citizens among different nations, then moved other conquered leaders into the newly subjugated land. All were thus destablilized and less likely to unite and revolt."
