As was discussed in Chapter 9 of this publication, Jehovah’s long-term purpose was to bring about the restoration of his people after their exile. Why? He said: “I myself will remember the covenant that I made with you in the days of your youth.” (Ezek. 16:37-42, 60) Unlike his people, Jehovah would prove to be profoundly loyal!​—Read Revelation 15:4.

We want to remain grateful that Jehovah has mercifully restored pure worship in these last days and that he will never again let it be corrupted! With spiritual Israel, he has established “a permanent covenant,” one that will never be broken by disloyalty or prostitution. (Ezek. 16:60) So let us cherish the privilege we have to be associated with Jehovah’s clean people today.
