We now enter a transition in the second half of the chapter from a description of the justice and shame for their sins to a glorious restoration and conversion of the nation; A similar pattern from the previous chapter. Yahweh moves to describe a great reversal from His judgment upon the nation, to a restoration of the glory days of old and a transformation from being Lo-Ruhamah & Lo-Ammi to a people who receive mercy and become the people of God. It is God who will conquer these things and seek her out through his mercy and grace. He will go into further detail in this segment to describe the great restoration.

The Eschatology of Jesus: French Edition
One can well imagine the number of theological works published on a regular basis in the English language worldwide. I’m sure we`d be surprised at the sheer number. Other languages are not so fortunate, and some have little resources available.

While I don’t subscribe to every point in this writing, I still think it lays out a very accurate understanding of the future things. There is an online PDF Edition of the book available and should you have a little spare change, the book can be purchased through Dr. Gentry’s website or through Amazon.
