Romans . 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ..... Israel is not cast away
11:01 .. I say then .. God has not rejected His people .. has He .. may it never be . . . for I too am an Israelite .. a descendant of Abraham ..
......... of the tribe of Benjamin
11:02 .. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew .. or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah ..
......... how he pleads with God against Israel
11:03 .. Lord .. they have killed your prophets .. they have torn down your altars .. and I alone am left .. and they are seeking my life
11:04 .. but what is the divine response to him . . . I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal
11:05 .. In the same way then .. there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice
11:06 .. but if it is by grace .. it is no longer on the basis of works .. otherwise grace is no longer grace
11:07 .. what then .. what Israel is seeking .. it has not obtained .. but those who were chosen obtained it .. and the rest were hardened
11:08 .. just as it is written . . . God gave them a spirit of stupor .. eyes to see not and ears to hear not .. down to this very day
11:09 .. and David says . . . let their table become a snare and a trap .. and a stumbling block and a retribution to them
11:10 .. let their eyes be darkened to see not .. and bend their backs forever
11:11 .. I say then .. they did not stumble so as to fall .. did they .. may it never be . . . but by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles ..
......... to make them jealous
11:12 .. now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles .. how much more will their fulfillment be
11:13 .. but I am speaking to you who are Gentiles .. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles .. I magnify my ministry
11:14 .. if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them
11:15 .. for if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world .. what will their acceptance be but life from the dead
11:16 .. If the first piece of dough is holy .. the lump is also .. and if the root is holy .. the branches are too
11:17 .. but if some of the branches were broken off .. and you .. being a wild olive .. were grafted in among them and became
......... partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree
11:18 .. do not be arrogant toward the branches .. but if you are arrogant .. remember that it is not you who supports the root ..
......... but the root supports you
11:19 .. you will say then . . . branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in
11:20 .. quite right .. they were broken off for their unbelief .. but you stand by your faith .. do not be conceited .. but fear
11:21 .. for if God did not spare the natural branches .. he will not spare you .. either
11:22 .. behold then the kindness and severity of God .. to those who fell .. severity .. but to you .. God’s kindness .. if you continue in his kindness ..
......... otherwise you also will be cut off
11:23 .. and they also .. if they do not continue in their unbelief .. will be grafted in .. for God is able to graft them in again
11:24 .. for if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree .. and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree ..
......... how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree
11:25 .. for I do not want you .. brethren .. to be uninformed of this mystery .. so that you will not be wise in your own estimation ..
......... that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in
11:26 .. and so all Israel will be saved .. just as it is written . . . the deliverer will come from Zion .. he will remove ungodliness from Jacob
11:27 .. this is my covenant with them .. when I take away their sins
11:28 .. from the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake .. but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are
......... beloved for the sake of the fathers
11:29 .. for the gifts and the calling of God bare irrevocable
11:30 .. for just as you once were disobedient to God .. but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience
11:31 .. so these also now have been disobedient .. that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy
11:32 .. for God has shut up all in disobedience so that he may show mercy to all
11:33 .. oh .. the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God .. how unsearchable are his
......... judgments and unfathomable his ways
11:34 .. for who has known the mind of the Lord .. or who became his counselor
11:35 .. or who has first given to him that it might be paid back to him again
11:36 .. for from him and through him and to him are all things .. to him be the glory forever . . . amen
The Jews .. at present cast off because of unbelief .. will in due time as a people be taken into God’s favor again .. when the fullness of the Gentiles be come in and when the Deliverer (Christ) shall have appeared again . . . as a people they are for this age judicially blinded .. although there is a remnant according to faith in Christ .. the Gentiles grafted into the Church must not trample upon the Jews as a reprobate people .. but remember that the law of faith excludes all boasting .. either of ourselves or against others . . . . Romans 11:25-26 the Church is a people taken from the Gentiles (Acts 15:14) and is a “full destined number” (Rev 7:9) .. when the “fullness of the Gentiles” (not world conversion) is brought in .. Christ is coming again .. and will be soon manifested as Israel’s long looked-for Deliverer ...... http://www.gty.org
