“If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.”
The declaration that 'if this fixed order departs from before me, declares the LORD, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation' establishes Israel's survival as coterminous with cosmic order. This hyperbolic assurance suggests that Israel's extinction would require nothing less than the unraveling of creation.
