When God has had enough, he has enough. Breaking the covenant is serious, as Israel was about to find out. Though Messiah has just been interjected into the text as an offer of hope to the remnant, God's anger will not be turned away. As bad as it is going to get, God's anger will not be turned away.
But righteousness exalts any nation, and sin is a reproach to all peoples. What then of our own nation? What if it turns out that we have many similarities to those in Israel? Are we to think that God will not care, that he will is not watching, that he does not act upon nations anymore? We need to heed the calling of the prophets both in the nation and in the church. There is still a way out. To whom will you flee for help?
