But you will not go out in haste,This is a reassuring statement. Many times, we think of believers having to scurry through the night, persecuted and afraid to be seen. And I don't want to say that isn't supposed to be the case, given this specific passage wasn't written to Christians, but to Israel.
Nor will you go as fugitives;
For the LORD will go before you,
And the God if Israel will be your rear guard.
However, the statement that God will go before and after us is always true. He will guide our paths, if we are willing to follow them. And He will ensure events don't overtake us, before we've done the work He set out for us to do.
