He therefore brings to the recollection of the Israelites what had happened to their fathers, Her vines, then, will I give her from that place, that is, “As soon as I shall by word testify my love to them, they shall effectually know and find that I am really and from the heart reconciled to them, and shall understand how inclined I am to show kindness; for I shall not long hold the people in suspense.”. But He had never before spoken as He speaks now. 100 Sermon Topics 1. "I will speak to her heart." Hope is but the brightness that goes before God's face, and if we would see it we must look at Him. God's punishments are means to bless, and have great and glorious ends. The point is that they would be a gift of the God of Sinai and would have their source in YHWH and not in Baal. I. And that reason is set out in full by a man that was an expert in trouble, namely, Paul, when he says "tribulation worketh patience."

Many have been afraid to be brought into it; yet He has given them their vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope.
