Jeremiah 31:35 (NKJV) 35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name):
36 "If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the LORD, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever."
37 Thus says the LORD: "If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD."
This is our God, and I stand amazed at His faithful and real love. We know how much they messed up. Yet here is the offended Father, the Holy One, passionately (and poetically) declaring He will stand by His own.
(P.S. This is also one of many passages that confirms to me that God has not forsaken, or replaced, His people--the Jewish people--into whom I have been grafted in.)
