"The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; He will gather in the exiles of Israel." One must ask why it says "rebuilds" using the present tense, and not "will rebuild Jerusalem" as it does in saying "will gather in the exiles of Israel"… It says "rebuilds Jerusalem" for God builds Jerusalem each and every day by having the ministering angels busy in its rebuilding, as it says, and this is an great teaching, for He will gather in the exiles of Israel and we have not been forgotten by God.
