1 | Israel not rejected. | Rom 11:1 | kalos | 5087 | ||
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. rejected (cast) That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter. (1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1 ) (2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6). (3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10). (4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25). (5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22 ). (6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24). (7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; (Genesis 15:5,6 ; Galatians 3:29) and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. (See Scofield Genesis 15:18) but Israel as a nation always has it own place, and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God. See "Israel" (Genesis 12:2 ; Romans 11:26 "Kingdom"; Genesis 1:26-28 ; Zechariah 12:8). Bibliography Information Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Jude 1".

2 | Israel not rejected. | Rom 11:1 | Makarios | 7651 | ||
Ryrie's Expanded Edition NASB Study Bible suggests, "In this chapter Paul assures us that God has not forgotten His people, the Jews, and His promises to them. After the full number of Gentiles have been incorporated into the church, all Jews will turn to the Lord, not a mere handful as now. Paul does not assert that the OT promises to Israel have been transferred to the largely Gentile church." Nelson's NKJV states, "One of the proofs that God has not cast away the Jewish people is Paul himself. He was an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. He was a Jew, and he was chosen by God to be a believer and an apostle." MacArthur's NKJV suggests, "In this section Paul answers the question that logically arises from 10:19-21: "Is God's setting aside of Israel for rejecting Christ permanent?" At stake is whether God can be trusted to keep His unconditional promises to that nation (cf. Jer. 33:19-26)." ... "11:1 cast away. To thrust away from oneself. The form of the question in the Gr. text expects a negative answer. Despite Israel's disobedience (9:1-13; 10:14-21), God has not rejected His people (cf. 1 Sam. 12:22; 1 Kings 6:13; Psalm 89:31-37; 94:14; Isaiah 49:15; 54:1-10; Jer. 33:19-26)." |
