It sounds weird doesn't it? But has God been through a divorce? Jeremiah 31:32 says, the new covenant will “'not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I WAS THEIR HUSBAND,' declares the Lord.” God’s “first marriage” was to the Jews and the vows were based on the faithfulness of both the husband (God) and the bride (Israel). The Jews said, “We do! We will do everything required of us!” (Exodus 19:8). However, it didn’t take much time for them to break their vows. In the breaking of their vows, the marriage covenant dissolved even though God Almighty was their HUSBAND. However, because of the deep love of God, He had in mind a new marriage to Israel. This new marriage would have new vows. The new vows would no longer be based on the faithfulness of the Husband AND the bride. The new vows would be based on the faithfulness of the Father of the Groom and the Groom/Husband himself alone! S
