But the glorious promise for those who have loved Him till the end, is absolutely sure, and closer every day... for yet a little while and "He who is coming will come, and not tarry".

Even though Israel practiced idolatry, and committed great whoredom against the Lord by forsaking him for false gods, he would not finally let them go. Here we see where sin abounds, grace super abounds. And we see that through a symbol in the book; the symbol of family.
