Well, Church family, listen, I'm going to ask you right now in my absence,

why don't you stand to your feet, and I'll read through the scriptures,

and you'll stand with me, but I'll read through and we'll honor God's Word together.

This is now part four of our message titled Under the Shadow of the Almighty,

and I can't help but think that that comfort and that assurance of that great word under the shadow of the Almighty, and I can't help but think that that comfort and that assurance

of that great word under the shadow of the Almighty will be very, very prophetic for us all

in the next few days. Romans chapter 11, I'll pick it up reading verse 11 now, and the apostle

Paul says,

I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?

Certainly not.

But through their fall, that is the fall of Israel,

to provoke them to jealousy,

salvation has come to the Gentiles, to us, right?

Now, if their fall is richest for the world and their failure riches for the Gentiles,

how much more their fullness or when they come back, their completeness? Verse 13,

for I speak to you Gentiles in as much as I'm an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry.

If by any means I may provoke to jealousy, those who are my flesh, and save some of them.

So Paul wants to see some of his Jewish brothers and sisters receive Yahshua as Hamasheah,

Jesus as Messiah. And he says there that in verse 15,

for if they're being cast away or set aside is the reconciling of the world,

what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For if the first fruit is holy, that would be Israel,

the lump, that's all Gentiles, is also holy. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.
