On Pentecost, (the Jews call this day Shavuot), the Jews remember their marriage covenant they made with God at Mount Sinai when they accepted God's Law. (Exodus 19:3-8).

The Law, however, proved to be a covenant with God they were unable to keep. (Acts 15:10).  

God would make a new covenant with the house of Israel.

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

“Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

“But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

“After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:

“For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." - Jeremiah 31:31-34 KJV

This new covenant officially began on the Day of Pentecost, the same day remembered by the Jews as the day they accepted their covenant of the Law, and God became their Husband.

Here again, God calls Himself their Husband.

In this new covenant, God would write His law in their hearts. He did this when He began pouring out His Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-4).

We know Him when we are filled with His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16, Hosea 2:19-20, 1 John 5:20, 2 Corinthians 4:6).

Our iniquity is forgiven and our sin remembered no more when we repent and are baptized in Jesus name. (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:43, Acts 13:38-39, Ephesians 1:7).

God is promising this new covenant to the Jewish people. (He also promised this new covenant for the Gentiles as well. (Hosea 2:23)).

Did God make a way for the Jews to be released from their covenant of the Law, their marriage covenant with God?
