The clip is future, for God says it is shorthand for the people to come with. Thus, to Israel, God prophesied that he would convey more or less a colleagues in the early of his individuals who would spoon over and applaud him.

It is a particular and hard to please people noted by the settled article, "the". This will be written for "the generation" to come in." (Psalms 102:18) Thus, a fussy age group in Israel's projected precedent would finish this Old Testament transition.

(Luke 4:29)

It is Jesus' modification and resurrection which private property the unfetter of Israel in bondage to sin and the law. Hence after receiving the gospel, Paul forbids the place of worship from self trapped over again near the material of thraldom. Stand alacritous and so in the sovereignty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be involved once more near a fabric of bondage, (Galatians 5:1). See likewise 4:9; 5:13.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul confirms that God had in information created for himself a new culture. "Therefore, if a person is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have go new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

(1 Peter 2:9, 10)

It is this creative activity which Isaiah saw as the new general public who would feel up to that time God.

I will push the boat out in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; the sound of tearful shall no long be detected in her, nor the voice of noisy. (Isaiah 65:17-19) The new Jerusalem God created is the church, the bride of Christ. (Hebrews 12:22; Revelation 22:1-3).

In summary, the new activity of God's empire consisted of the new Israel created in Christ Jesus. This equates to Jew and Gentile who normative and obeyed the religious writing in the terminal age group of Old Covenant Israel. God done Christ released them from the slavery and tyranny of the law, sin and loss situation them loose into the liberty of God's state in the gospels. Those who castaway Christ, the old production of Israel, animal Jews who control to the Law of Moses were blasted in God's day of settling of scores upon the topography once Rome fallen Israel in 70 A.D.
