When God appeared to Jacob for the last time, He calmed his fears: I shall go with you into Egypt....The ancient sages view this as a promise that the Shekhina-the Divine Presence-would follow Israel everywhere, even in exile Israel is never alone and that Israel's redemption will bring about God's as well. At some point in your life you will enter into exile, but you with have the Holy Spirit within which helps fight the loneliness of exile. John was exiled and received revelation. God will bring you out, and you will be better for it. Jesus said in Matthew 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
