    The New Covenant Will Solve the Problem of Apostasy

    Humbled in the sight of the nations, those whom Heaven had once favored above all other peoples of the earth were to learn in exile the lesson of obedience. “I will correct you in justice, and will not let you go altogether unpunished,” He declared. Jeremiah 30:11. Yet before all the nations of earth He would demonstrate His plan to bring victory out of apparent defeat, to save rather than to destroy. God gave the prophet the message:RR 168.5

    “He who scattered Israel will gather him,
    and will keep him as a shepherd a flock.” ...
    They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, ...
    their life shall become like a watered garden,
    and they shall never languish again. ...
    I will turn their mourning into joy,
    I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. Jeremiah 31:10-13, NRSV
    RR 168.6

    “Behold, the days are coming ... when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Verses 31-34.RR 169.1
