Jehovah’s Patience Has Limits

Jehovah allowed Assyria to conquer Israel (2Ki 17:5, 6; it-2-E 908 ¶5)

Jehovah disciplined his people because they kept offending him (2Ki 17:9-12; it-1-E 414-415)

Jehovah was patient with Israel and warned them repeatedly (2Ki 17:13, 14)

Our loving heavenly Father is very patient with imperfect mankind. (2Pe 3:9) However, in order to accomplish his purpose, he will act to destroy the wicked very soon. How should this motivate us to listen to correction and to preach with urgency?
