Romans 11:25-Zephaniah : . The Mystery of Israel’ s Future. Romans 11:25-Ezekiel : a . It may save Gentile believers from a dangerous “ self-conceit” ( cf. Romans 12:16) to learn “ the secret that the hardening” (see Romans 11:7) which “ has partially befallen Israel” (the remnant is exempt; Romans 11:5; Romans 11:7), will last only “ until the full complement of the nations enters” into God’ s kingdom; “ then all Israel will be saved.” A mystery is a secret truth concerning God’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 11:30-31

This is the last argument, to prove the conversion and calling of the Jews, which is further confirmed, Romans 11:32. The argument is taken from the like dealing of God with the Gentiles; after a long time of infidelity, he received them to mercy; therefore he will also at last receive the Jews. He argues from the less to the greater; If the infidelity of the Jews was the occasion of mercy to the Gentiles, much more shall the mercy showed to the Gentiles be an occasion of showing mercy to the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 11:29-32

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Romans 11:29-32The unchangeableness of God’s attitude towards men.—It is difficult to comprehend that, while change and decay are recognised everywhere in men and in nature, these should not have any place with God. Our preconceived notions lead us to expect shifting policies. But in these points natural and spiritual law are unlike, whatever other harmony there may be. One truth is always before us concerning God—He changes not.I. God’s intentions towards men... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 11:1-36

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Romans, chapter 11.In chapters 9-11 Paul is dealing with a couple of subjects; one the sovereignty of God, but it is the sovereignty of God in setting aside the nation Israel as God's primary target, you might say for work, and beginning to pour out His Spirit and work among the Gentiles. Because Paul is a Jew through and through, his heart, his prayer for Israel is that they might be saved, and yet, he can see in the scriptures those prophecies of God's move... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 11:1-36

Romans 11:1 . Hath God cast away his people? The jews would say, what else can we infer? If the gentiles are now become the Israel of God, and if we are rejected for not embracing what Paul calls the righteousness of God? St. Paul denies this, for he himself, and the thousands which believed in Judea, as well as the thousands dispersed on Stephen’s persecution, were all jews, and afforded proof to the contrary. Though God had denationalized them, and sentenced them to dispersion; and though... read more
