Man changes his way but does not cure himself.
The calf of the wilderness was followed by the Captain; but both were evil.
Idols in the land lead to Babylon; but return from Babylon leads to infidel pride, as in Malachi.
The Lord tells us of change without cure in the swept house. Matt. 12; Luke 11.
The Apostle tells us of "latter times" and of "last days," but both evil though different. 1 Tim. 4; 2 Tim. 3.
The Apocalypse tells us of Babylon and the Beast; and of the nations giving up the one for the other; but both are evil. Rev. 17.
Thus change there is but no cure. Judgement therefore closes the scene and makes way for a new thing — not a mended thing. Glory succeeds judgement.
