WE WILL GO BACK TO HOW ISRAEL WAS FORMED AND WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.
Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.
HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTION.
PAUL IS SAYING HERE, 'GOD'S ELECT ARE CHOSEN AND I WILL DOCUMENT THIS'.
9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
I HAVE GREAT SORROW FOR YOU IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO DRIFT AWAY FROM THIS.
9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
IF I COULD CONVERT THEM, I WOULD SEPARATE MYSELF FROM CHRIST.
9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
AFTER CHRIST PAYED THE PRICE THE PROMISE IS FOR EVERYONE NOW.
9:5 Whose are the fathers (THE 12 PATRIARCHS), and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, Who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
CHRIST CAME FROM THOSE 12 TRIBES.
9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are called of Israel.
ABRAHAM WAS NOT CALLED ISRAEL JACOB WAS.
9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but "In Isaac shall thy seed be called."
QUOTED GENESIS 21:7.
CHRIST CAME FROM THE SEED OF ISAAC.
9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
THAT PROMISED WAS MADE IN GENESIS 21:7.
9:9 For this is the word of promise, "At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son."
SARAH WAS 90 YEARS OLD AND ABRAHAM 100 WHEN ISAAC WAS BORN.
THEY BELIEVED GOD EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ADVANCED IN AGE.
9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
JACOB AND ESAU IN THE WOMB.
9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him That calleth;)
HE IS IN CHARGE; HE DOES THE CALLING.
9:12 It was said unto her (REBECCA), "The elder shall serve the younger."
QUOTED GENESIS 25.
9:13 As it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
GOD DOES NOT HATE BABIES. IT'S WHAT ESAU DID IN THE 1ST EARTH AGE BEFORE HE WAS BORN. HE DID NOT RESPECT HIS REDEEMER ALSO IN THIS ONE.
BUT ESAU COULD HAVE REPENTED WHEN CHRIST "FREED THE PRISONERS" AFTER CRUCIFIXION.
9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
9:15 For He saith to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
HE HAS A PLAN AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE WAY HE PLANNED IT.
HE KNOWS US BETTER THAN WE KNOW OURSELVES.
9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth (WORKS), but of God That sheweth mercy.
DIVINE ELECTION JUSTIFIED BY SCRIPTURE.
9:17 For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh (HE WAS A GENTILE), "Even for this same purpose I raised thee up, that I might shew My power in thee, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth."
GOD USED PHARAOH TO CONVERT THE EGYPTIANS AND EDUCATE US OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE END.
HE LOVES EVERYONE.
9:18 Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth.
GOD HARDENED PHARAOH'S HEART FOR A PURPOSE.
9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, "Why doth He yet find fault? For who hath resisted His will?"
DIVINE ELECTION NOT TO BE CHALLENGED.
9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest (TALK BACK) against God? "Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it 'Why hast thou made me thus? " "
DO NOT TALK BACK TO GOD.
YOU DON'T SAY TO THE POTTER YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT HE MADE.
9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR SOUL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE, NOT THE FLESH.
9:22 What if God, willing to shew His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering (HE HAS A LOT OF PATIENCE) the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction (SATAN'S NAME, APOLLYON):
THEY'VE EARNED OF WHAT IS COMING TO THEM.
9:23 And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had afore (BEFORE) prepared unto glory,
9:24 Even us, whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles (PHARAOH WAS A GENTILE)?
DIVINE ELECTION BENEVOLENT SO FAR AS MAN CAN APPREHEND.
9:25 As He saith also in Osee (HOSEA), "I will call them My people, which were not My people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
HOSEA IN THE HEBREW MEANS SALVATION.
THE WOMAN IN HOSEA (HOSEA'S WIFE) REPRESENTS ISRAEL. GOD TOLD HOSEA TO MARRY A HARLOT.
9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, 'Ye are not My people;' there shall they be called the children of the living God."
ISRAEL (NOT THE COUNTRY OF ISRAEL BUT THE TRIBES) WILL BE RESTORED IN THE FUTURE.
9:27 Esaias (ISAIAH) also crieth concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
ISRAEL (THE TRIBES) WILL BE SAVED.
9:28 For He will finish (CLOSE) the work, and cut it short (HE SHORTENED THE TIME FOR 7 YEARS TO 5 MONTHS= MARK 13:20, REV. 9:4, 9:10-11) in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth."
9:29 And as Esaias said before, "Except the LORD of Sabaoth (THE LORD OF REST OR HOSTS) had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha."
PERVERSION IS HAPPENING TODAY.
9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
MANY GENTILES WERE CONVERTED BUT ISRAEL WAS VERY STUBBORN.
9:32 Wherefore (WHAT CAN WE SAY)? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law.
PAUL IS TRYING TO SAY HERE ' I THOUGHT I WAS FOLLOWING THE LAW BY PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS'.
9:33 As it is written, "Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
QUOTED ISAIAH 28:16.
THERE IS NO STUMBLING STONE WITH THE BELIEVER.
GOD BLESS
