Reading for October 19th

 Read Romans 11.25-36. In 11.25-36: How Israel shall be saved. In verse 25: Part of Israel implies the obedience of some Jews (11.5). In verse 26: The gentiles acceptance will prompt the full response of Israel. In verses 26-27: Isa 59.20-21; 27.9; Jer 31.31-34. In verse 28: Enemies: By refusing to submit to God's righteousness, Israel is at cross purposes with God (10.3-4). Beloved recalls the language of Hosea (9.25). In verse 30: Just as gentiles benefited from Israel's bad fortune, now Israel should benefit from the gentiles good fortune. In verse 32: 3.9. In verses 33-36: Concluding prayer; God's wisdom. The mystery of God's workings (11.25) prompts this exuberant prayer acknowledging the depth of God's wisdom (1 Cor 2.7). In verse 34: Isa 40.13. In verse 35: See Job 41.11, Hebrew text. In verse 36: 1 Cor 8.6; Col 1.16. Comments or Questions..
