There is a great beauty in this verse, as well as a great and blessed doctrine veiled under it. Jehovah Jesus might very justly have put away forever his Israel for their whoredoms, and made the divorce binding; but not so according to the riches of his grace. Israel shall be divorced, if divorced at all, only many days, that is, until the fulness of the Gentiles be completed; then will the Lord call his ancient people home, and their union with him, their glorious head shall be shown, that Israel could never be for another; neither could Jesus be but for them. Reader! consult those sweet scriptures in confirmation of the doctrine, and the beauty and grace of it will abundantly appear. Romans 11:1 throughout. Hosea 2:7.
