32:34,35
While the onslaught against Israel would be great, it would not last forever. For God had plans kept in reserve, sealed in His vaults. In Rom 9-11 Paul describes it as God’s mystery, beyond human comprehension. This was God’s plan of salvation. There would be a day of vengeance against those who attacked Israel.
32:36-38
The wrath of the Lord against Israel will not last forever, the Lord will vindicate His people. “When He sees that their strength is gone”. Why wait so long? The purpose is not just to “rescue” them, but to change them. So he lets them get to a point where they finally realise that the gods they trusted in were useless. Likewise, the gospel is not just about “not going to hell”, it is about making us like Christ. They had offered all sorts of things to the gods, but to no avail.
