If you have not, read 1&2 Kings in the OT and see how long God Gabe Israel to turn back to Him. He is a LOVING God. All of our adulterous (worshipping other gods) behavior is similar to that of the OT that took many, many Kings to fail before the exile under Babylonian King Nebudkenezzar. God is slow to anger, not wanting anyone to perish. GOD is the ultimate authority here.
