God hasn’t changed but his covenant sure has. From the Old Covenant of the law to the New Covenant of Grace.

“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”

Heb. 8:7-13.

God’s covenant has not changed that much. Try reading it sometime instead of continuously pulling verses out of context. (Did you read Romans 13:4?)

Does it look like the time has come when God wrote His law on the hearts of people en masse? More like it’s when Jesus foretold things being like “the days of Noah” again (Matthew 24:37; Luke 17:36).

Another verse you might want to consider is Ecclesiastes 8:11.
