Day 27 of 40 shows how Israel is disciplined but not destroyed.

"The terrible demise of Judah and Jerusalem is deserved punishment for repeated rebellion, but it is not the final chapter in their history. God will work through David's line to bring a Deliverer (the Righteous "Branch" mentioned in 25:5-6 and 33:14-16) who will make them the righteousness and the light to other nations He has intended them to be from the very beginning of His covenant dealings with them." (Dr. Timothy Berrey, "40 Days Through The Bible")
