"For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
It should ever be remembered that the old Israel is a type of the new; and that sifting of the house of Jacob among the nations in the Old Testament is still going on.  "The shaking of Israel in the sieve is still being fulfilled upon the Jews who are dispersed among all nations."[22]  Who but God could have prophesied such a remarkable thing concerning Israel, at a time in history when it would have appeared utterly incredible?  No, these verses were not added by any later editor, or redactor!
