Vs1: Paul's view and the Holy Spirit's view are the same. Vs2: Paul and the Holy Spirit feel very bad Vs3: for God's other people. Paul says “strike my name from the book of Life so my brethren will live”. That's how bad Paul feels for his county men. Vs4: specifically to the Israelites: who are they, what are they? They are the only people on earth who have ever been given such a special promise by God. God picked this bunch of slaves on earth and said they are going to be His people. At that point God had never dealt with any other nation than that of Israel. The greatest sign that the coming of Christ is near is the nation of Israel. They became a nation in May 1948. God's promise to Israel is not yet fulfilled. It will be fulfilled in the future. Vs5: Israel is different from the rest of the world, yet we have nations today who are threatening total annihilation of the nation of Israel today. Vs6: here Paul makes a distinct from the physical man who is a descendant of Israel and the spiritual chosen man of Israel, which is a true Israelite. Vs7: God made a promise of a lineage: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If you are a true Israelite, your ancestry will trace back to these people. Vs8: Paul is talking about the lineage of being a Jew. Vs9: Paul gets back into the lineage of what it really means to be a Jew Sarah has a son; Vs10: Rebecca conceived from Isaac. Vs11-13: Rebecca is having twins, and God has determined beforehand, that the elder will serve the younger. This is Jacob and Esau. Neither did anything bad or good; God determined this before they were born. God loved Esau, but He loved Jacob more. Esau was a well built hunter.
