Isaiah beheld the whole earth “full of his glory” (Isa. 6:3). Habakkuk spoke of the time when “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Hab. 2:14).

 Although Israel had forsaken her “husband,” He would bring her back to Himself and again be her husband (see Eze. 16:8; Hosea 2:14-20; 3:1-5).
