The covenant referred to here is likely the Mosaic Covenant, established at Mount Sinai, where God chose Israel as His people (<a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>). Despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to His covenant. This reflects God's character as one who is steadfast and unchanging (<a href="/malachi/3-6.htm">Malachi 3:6</a>). The concept of God remembering is not about recalling forgotten information but about acting on His promises.<p><b>in the days of your youth</b><br>The "days of your youth" refers to the early period of Israel's relationship with God, particularly during the Exodus and the wilderness wanderings. This was a formative time when Israel was being shaped as a nation under God's guidance. It evokes the imagery of a young bride, as seen in <a href="/jeremiah/2-2.htm">Jeremiah 2:2</a>, where God remembers the devotion of Israel's youth. This period is marked by initial faithfulness and the establishment of a covenant relationship.<p><b>and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you</b><br>This points to a future covenant that surpasses the previous ones, often interpreted as the New Covenant prophesied in <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>. This everlasting covenant is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who establishes a new relationship between God and humanity through His death and resurrection (<a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>). It signifies a covenant that is not based on the law but on grace, offering eternal life and a restored relationship with God. This covenant is characterized by internal transformation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26-27</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, tasked with delivering God's messages to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom God is speaking, often depicted as an unfaithful bride in this chapter.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/covenant.htm">Covenant</a></b><br>A solemn agreement between God and Israel, initially established with Abraham and renewed with Moses.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The period when the Israelites were exiled from their land, serving as a backdrop for Ezekiel's prophecies.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/everlasting_covenant.htm">Everlasting Covenant</a></b><br>A future promise of restoration and renewal, pointing towards a new relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>Despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to His promises.
