When the Deliverer comes, it is to save His remnant, not to reestablish the nation of Israel. Yahweh is done with national Israel. He made that clear in AD 70.

So many take "all Israel" as referring to the salvation of all ethnic Israel. This totally ignores what Paul taught in Romans 9; it is only a remnant that was saved.

In our last study we talked about the root of the olive tree which is the Abrahamic covenant. And we talked about the importance of understanding our Hebrew roots. Today I want to talk about the Hebrew Roots Movement which I think is wrong. Understanding our Hebrew roots has nothing to do with the Hebrew Roots Movement.

In our study for today Paul talks about the Olive Tree and its roots and branches. Each of these is symbolic but for what? What is the root of the olive tree?

Three times in Scripture Paul calls the Gospel "my gospel." What does he mean by this? Is Paul's gospel different from that of the other Apostles? Where did Paul get his gospel from?

This text teaches us the benefits that come from Israel's fall. Benefits for Israel and the Gentiles. Yahweh is always working out His predetermined plan.

This text should make it clear that Yahweh's promises were never to the nation of Israel as a whole but to a chosen remnant.

This text should make it clear that Yahweh's promises were never to the nation of Israel as a whole but to a chosen remnant.

Why is it that Israel, God's people were not believing the Gospel? It wasn't that they hadn't heard or didn't understand. What did Paul mean by, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth?"

Paul is again stressing that salvation is by faith alone. There are no human works involved in salvation. He compares the works of the Law with the faith that comes through the grace of God.

We'll be examining the cultural context behind the parable of the prodigal son. What are we being told? What symbolism are we missing? Who do the parties represent?

Paul, after hammering the idea of God's sovereignty in chapter 9, starts chapter 10 by saying that he is praying for Israel. Have you ever wondered: If God is sovereign why pray?

Understanding Scripture requires understanding context, and context is multi-faceted.

As we look at our text for today we see that Yahweh had prophesied that Christ would be a stumbling stone and a Rock of offense to the Jews. But to all who trust in Him he is the Cornerstone of the new Temple.

As we look at our text for today we see that Yahweh's plan was always to only save a remnant. Paul quotes from Isaiah to back up the salvation of only a remnant from national Israel. Proving that "not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel."
