A. Arguments & Illustrations to prove that Israel has not been rejected 1. Elijah in the days of Ahab. A remnant was left chosen by grace 2. The dough and the rest of the lump (despite the yeast) the bread will be bread 3. The olive tree branches: Israel are the natural branches
B. God's hardening of Israel had a purpose: to include the gentiles 1. Hardening a few to save the many 2. Cutting off a few to graft the many 3. Temporarily hindering entrance to a few to open the gates to many
C. Eschatological remarks 1. God will bring restoration to a remnant of ethnic Israel at the coming of Christ 2. God will fulfill His promises to ethnic Israel in Jesus 3. The Glory that awaits the world in Israel's restoration is beyond proportion to the one it received with its hardening.
D. The passage climaxes not in Israel but in God 1. the depths of God's Wisdom and Knowledge 2. the depths of His Judgement and Ways 3. the depths of God's Mercy • All things are His • All things come from Him • All things are for Him
