covenant with them . . . thee--The covenant is with Christ, and with them only as united to Him (Hebrews 2:13). Jehovah addresses Messiah the representative and ideal Israel. The literal and spiritual Israel are His seed, to whom the promise is to be fulfilled (Psalms 22:30).
spirit . . . not depart . . . for ever-- (Jeremiah 31:31-37; Matthew 28:20).
An ode of congratulation to Zion on her restoration at the Lord's second advent to her true position as the mother church from which the Gospel is to be diffused to the whole Gentile world; the first promulgation of the Gospel among the Gentiles, beginning at Jerusalem [Luke 24:47], is an earnest of this. The language is too glorious to apply to anything that as yet has happened.
