34. True, specially of Israel (Is 54:13); secondarily, true of believers (Joh 6:45; 1Co 2:10; 1Jo 2:20). forgive ... iniquity ... remember ... no more--(Jr 33:8; 50:20; Mi 7:18); applying peculiarly to Israel (Ro 11:27). Secondarily, all believers (Ac 10:43).

How wonderfully is this prophecy fulfilled in the age of Bibles, Sunday schools, and village preaching.
