Repent

God’s Word comes to the children of Israel through the prophets who announce that unless they turn from their idolatry back to God, judgment will come upon them and they will once again be dominated by the nations. The prophets fail to bring Israel to repentance and judgment will come. God’s final Word to Israel through the prophets is of the coming “Seed of the Woman” who will free the children of Israel from the oppression of the nations, destroy the Serpent, remove the curse of death, and reestablish the rule of God by His representative ruler through the nation of Israel on earth.
