Quick answer
Upon their repentance, God will remember His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the land. God's faithfulness to His promises endures.
Overview
God's remembering does not mean recalling something forgotten but acting on His sworn promises. He grounds Israel's hope not in their merit but in His covenant with the patriarchs. This unshakable covenant faithfulness is the bedrock of salvation, fulfilled in Christ, the promised seed of Abraham through whom blessing comes to all nations.
