How did the Lord try to reclaim the decaying olive tree (house of Israel)?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Lord of the vineyard, on seeing his now venerable tree and the apostasy therein, outlined a course of action to correct the situation, to rejuvenate the tree. … Beginning with prophets such as Moses, Samuel, Elijah, and Isaiah, the Lord attempted to reclaim the house of Israel from apostasy. Even with this effort and only after a period of ‘many days,’ the Lord met with merely minimal success” (Hoskisson, “Allegory of the Olive Tree,” 77–78).
