Comments on Romans 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. |
Paul was not a Jew. He was Roman citizen
of the Israelite tribe of Benjamin. Paul was not of the Tribe of
Judah.
|
| 1 Kings 19:10 And he said, I have been
very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel
have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy
prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my
life, to take it away. |
2 God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?
how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. |
(2) The people which God foreknew were
the 'lost ten tribes of Israel'. |
| 1 Kings 19:18 Yet I have left me seven
thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal,
and every mouth which hath not kissed him. |
4 But what saith the answer of God unto
him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not
bowed the knee to the image of Baal. |

5 Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no
more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise
work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh
for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. |
(7) What then? begins a question that somebody asked Paul.
Paul's answer begins in the same verse with "Israel hath. . . " |
| Isaiah 29:10 For the LORD hath poured
out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes:
the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. |
8 (According as it is written, God
hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not
see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. |
|
Psalms69:22 Let their table become a
snare before them: and that which should have been for their
welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make
their loins continually to shake. |
9 And David saith, Let their table be
made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense
unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
down their back alway. |

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that
they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall
salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to
jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their
fullness? |
(11) Salvation has come to the 'lost'
tribes of Israel (The Gentiles)

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch
as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh,
and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the
root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild
olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the
root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not
the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be
graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest
by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also
spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which
fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his
goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be
graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature,
and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much
more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their
own olive tree? |
(13) Paul was an Apostle to the 'lost'
ten tribes of Israel, called the 'Gentiles' (With a capital 'G') |
| |
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye
should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the
fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
(25) The White Christian Race is blind to
its identity as Israel. North America is blind to the fact, that it,
not Palestine, is the land of re-gathered Israel. Blind even to the
knowledge that the very word America means Heavenly (Ameri) and
Kingdom (Rica). The word America means Kingdom of Heaven. America is
the only nation founded upon Jesus Christ and the Bible. But we have
forgotten our history and place in the world. |
Isaiah 59:20 And the Redeemer shall
come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob,
saith the LORD.
|
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as
it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and
shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: |
Notice the Redeemer comes to Zion
(America) in Isaiah and comes out of (America) in Romans. So,
when Christ returns, where will he appear first? In Palestine or in
America. |
| 21 As for me, this is my covenant with
them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words
which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor
out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed,
saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. |
27 For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as
touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now
obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy
they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! |
(27) Many Israelites call themselves 'New
Covenant Christians'. Jews never call themselves 'New Covenant'. |
Isaiah 4013 Who hath directed the
Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Job 41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him?
whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. |
34 For who hath known the mind of the
Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto
him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom
be glory for ever. Amen. |
