ROM 11
Merciful God still has HIS OWN people among Isrealis
1 Therefore, should you ask me, hasn't God push off His people? never will it happen! Because, even I, am an Isrealite, out of the offsprings of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God does not reject His people, whom HE foreknow (ordain before). Or are you not aware of what EliJah said in the holy writings? As he effected things for God, against Israel: -
3 - Supreme God: they have killed YOUR prophets, they have torn-down YOUR altar; even me who is left behind alone, they seek my soul. (1King 19:10-14).
4 But what was the Divine response to him? HE said; I have left SEVEN thousands men for MYSELF, who never bend their knees to Baal (Phoenician deity). (1 king 19:18)
5 therefore, likewise in the present time, even there will happen to be remnants according to election by Grace.
6 so, if is by work (of law), it will no longer be from Grace; since the one of grace will no longer generate the grace + but, if it is from grace, it will no longer be by work; since the thing of work is no longer by work.+
7 what is it then? This thing which Isreal sought after and has not chanced upon by being hardened, the remaining ones however by election has chanced upon it;
8 Just as it is written by the SPIRIT of God: they give their eyes to stupor/lethargy by daytime, not to see, and their ears, not to hear, until this day. (Is 29:10)
9 Even David said; there happens to be, things unto a snare (to tempt), on their table, and unto a trap (to hunt), even unto a scandal (apostasy), and even unto their recompense/payback.
10 their eyes shall be darkened, not to see, and their backs be afflicted/bend together all through. (Ps 69:22).
Mercy of God is available to save all
11 then should I ask; will they stumble (trip) and at least do not fall down? It will Never happen! But, their trespass is unto the salvation of the Heathen-races and to provoke them to jealousy/zealousness.
12 but if, their trespass is for the wealth of the world, and their failure is for the wealth of Gentiles, how much more will be their repletion (filling up of their position)?
13 Moreso, I am indeed an Apostle to the heathen-races, and as much as I glorify my ministry upon heathen-nation; then I should tell you:
14 how much, I will also provoke those of my FLESH to zealousness, if some persons out of them will get saved.
15 for, if their rejection is for the reconciliation of the world, what of their admission, if not, for Zoe-life out from the dead?
16 So, if, the first fruit is holy, so is the mass of dough; and if the root is holy, so is the branches,
17 Moreso, if some branches of olive tree are broken off, but you, being of wild olive tree, have been engrafted and become fellow-partakers of the root and plumpness in it,
18 never boast against those branches. However, If you boast against them, you are not the root, but the roots sustain you.
19 then, to you who say, the branches have been broken off, at least for us to be grafted in,
20 it is well; that those of unbelief brake off, however, you are standing by faith. Do not exercise mind so highly but be in awe.
21 for, if God, did not spare branches according to natural growth, how much at all, you will not even be spared.
22 therefore, behold, the kindness and severity/decisiveness of God: indeed, the severity upon those who have fallen/failed, and the kindness of God upon you, but in case you abide, it will be kindness; otherwise, even you would be cut down.
23 And even they, in case, they do not continue in unbelief, they will be grafted in; because God is able again to graft them in.
24 for, if you are cut from wild olive tree according to nature, and grafted into good olive tree against natural production, how much more are these ones, who according to natural production will be grafted to their own olive tree?
God is waiting for the last gentile to come into the kingdom by HIS mercy
25 Brethren, I don't want you to be ignorant of these mysteries, at least, not to be wiser in yourselves: because, the hardness/porosity of Israel has happened, which is until the repletion (filling up of position) of Heathen-races, who will enter in from the SECTIONS/local assemblies;
Beloved people of a Beloved country
26 And, all Israel, likewise shall be saved, as it is written, from Zion, the One to rescue (saviours) will arrive (Obad 1:21), and Jacob will turn away from impiety/wickedness (Is 27:9)
27 and this shall be MY covenant with them, whenever their sins shall be removed. (Is 59:20).
28 with respect to you, (they are) indeed enemies, on account of gospel, moreover, according to Patriachs (their fathers), (they are) the Beloved, through election/being chosen.
29 for the invitation and the Gift (divine endowment) of God are irrevocable.
30 No doubt, just as you, in the past, did not believe, but now, God shows mercy on those of unbelief;
31 Likewise, even these ones who are unbelieving now, by mercy of your own, at least even now, show mercy on them.
32 for God has concluded everybody into (state of) unbelief, at least, to show mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of wealth, and knowledge and wisdom of God! As it were, how unsearchable is HIS judgment, and HIS ways untraceable!
34 for, who know the mind/intellect of the Supreme God or who happens to be HIS consultant? (Is 40:34, Jer 23;18)
35 or who has first given to HIM even for HIM to repay?
36 For all things are from HIM and through HIM , and unto HIM. To HIM be the Glory unto ages! Amen.
