Who is like Thee, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever. Because He delights in unchanging love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins in the depths of the sea. . Thou wilt give truth to Jacob and unchanging love to Abraham, which Thou didst swear to our forefathers from the days of old. (Micah 7:18-20 NASB)
At the closing of this age, after all that has happened to Israel over more than 3000 years, God will restore and save Israel. He will fulfill what He promised to Abraham and Jacob. The veil of unbelief on their hearts will be lifted and “Thou wilt give truth to Jacob” revealing that the Lord Jesus Christ has always been their hoped for Messiah.
“Nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will put their hand on their mouth, their ears will be deaf. They will lick the dust like a serpent, like reptiles of the earth. They will come trembling out of their fortresses; to the Lord our God they will come in dread, and they will be afraid before Thee.” (Micah 7:16-17 NASB)
“God’s faithfulness to Israel is a reminder for contemporary believers that they should exult in the astoundingly faithful nature of God who watches over them with loving discipline and grants forgiveness freely and fully to those who seek it.” (Moody Bible Commentary)
Exult means to leap for joy, to be extremely joyful, rejoice.
Let us exult for His mercy and faithfulness to Israel! And to us Gentiles!!!
