Let me read once more the words which are found in Paul's epistle to the Romans in chapter

11, reading from verse 25 to verse 32, 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

has happened to Israel until the fullness of the

Gentiles become in. And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written. There shall come out

of Zion the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob, for this is my covenant unto them

when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes,

but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes, for the gifts and calling of God, are without repentance.

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their

unbelief, even so have these also now not believed that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy, for God

hath concluded them all in unbelief that he might have mercy upon all. Now, we've divided

that tremendous statement into two main subdivisions. The first one is verses 25, 26, and 27, where the great apostle

puts before us this prophecy that he makes as an apostle. God has given him a revelation

with regard to this matter of the future conversion of Israel.

And he states that explicitly and plainly, states when it's going to take place, and so on.

And then, having done that, he confirms it with his quotations from the Old Testament scriptures,

which are to be found in the second part of verse 26 and the whole of verse 27.

Now, we've dealt with that.

So we come now to this second section or subdivision of this tremendous statement.

And this is the one that runs from the beginning of verse 28 to the end of verse 32.

Here again, if you like, you can subdivide it.

Verse is 28 and 29.
