Now we can apply this very well to us in the end. But you know what this really kind of is getting at? This is getting at the Second Exodus, and He still has not forgotten His people Israel and in the end there will be a remnant that He will begin the Millennium with and they will start to learn these things too. They will seek shelter in their God once again and be converted.
He has not totally given up on them. And He will never give up on them. He is just letting them learn their miserable lessons through this period when they have forsaken God.
