If we are talking early early then it was because art wasn't a form of "art" it was a form of communication.

Bartok was inspired by Stravinsky’s work to put a more traditional and often Baroque forms in pieces of his “middle period” such as Cantata Profana and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta. <span>Stravinsky’s influence waned after the rise of postwar serialism.

Answer:
God is faithful unlike us human beings(even if we try our hardest) so he always finds a way to keep his promises. He can do it in ways that we don't expect or it may take time for the promise to be fulfilled. For example; Abraham and Sarah. They were way too old to have children and God had promised that Abraham will be the father of many nations. Yet Abraham was given a son by Sarah (who was around 90), Isaac. Later on down the line is us, the many nations. God always has a plan for when we go astray. No matter what we do he always wants us back. He will either bring up a conscience or reveal it to you through visions or dreams or send someone to warn you.
