Those who don't study Torah really miss out on some great stuff. This verse is literal (peshat) but was also what's called sod, a mystery or a prophecy, until the NT. Those who accept Yeshua as the Messiah join YHVH's nation while in Babylon. What YHVH did before through the Exodus He has been doing since Yeshua's ascension through our grafting in. Shalom.

"Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation by trials, by signs and wonders and by war and by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm and by great terrors, as YHVH your Elohim did for you in Egypt before your eyes? (Deu 4:34 NAS95)
