What Does Ezekiel 16:60 Mean?
The turning point of the entire prophecy: the word 'Nevertheless' announces God's grace overriding judgment. Despite Jerusalem's comprehensive betrayal, God 'will remember' the covenant He made with her in her youth. His memory is not a passive recollection but an active intention.
God will 'establish unto thee an everlasting covenant'—replace or renew the broken covenant with one that cannot be broken. This is not a return to the old covenant but the establishment of something new and permanent. God's commitment to Jerusalem transcends her infidelity and judgment.
