AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 9:33 As it is written and forever remains written, "BEHOLD I AM LAYING IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE; AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED [in his expectations]." [Is 28:16] |
Subject: A Promise to All Generations |
Bible Note: "It was both Abraham's and the Jews' privilege also that they should have this promise to all generations, as Gen. xvii. For two thouÂsand years the covenant to belong thus unto them, and to be entailed on them, and also that 'after the flesh Christ should come of them,' as Rom. ix. 5, and that they should be the root of our covenant, and we but engrafted on them as the ‘natural branches,’ Rom. xi.; and further, that after their eminent breaking off by unbelief, for well nigh two thousand years since, their covenant should be remembered, and for their fathers' sakes all Israel should yet be saved, as in the same chapter. And as the place which be-there quotes out of Isaiah also promiseth that their seed's seed should be converted in a successive way from their second call to the world’s end; and perhaps of every one, at least the most of that nation. And indeed it hath seemed to me to be one reason why all that nation were outwardly holy (which no nation ever was) before Christ's time, that this might be a proÂphetic type that all should one day be inwardly and really holy. How transcendent a privilege is this, then, that they should have something peculiarly promised to them, which is evident even by this also, that AbraÂham and his seed had the peculiar promise of Canaan, which we Gentiles have not." --Dr. Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680) |
