If the conditions of repentance and spiritual revival had been met, the Lord would have restored Palestine to its original productiveness as a “land flowing with milk and honey” (Ex. 3:8, 17; Num. 13:27; etc.).

At the time of the original entry into Canaan the fulfillment had been prevented by a failure of the people to comply with the necessary conditions. Here, now, was a second opportunity to inherit the same rich promises. Israel was offered a fresh start. Would the nation now prove willing?
