Praise GOD Almighty That YOU Were Grafted In

Romans 11:1-10

I (Paul) say then, has GOD (GOD Almighty) CAST AWAY His (GOD Almighty’s) People (Israel)?  Certainly NOT!  For I (Paul) also am an Israelite, of The SEED of Abraham, of The Tribe of Benjamin.  GOD (GOD Almighty) has NOT Cast Away His (GOD Almighty’s) People (Israel), Whom He (GOD Almighty) FOREKNEW.  Or do YOU not KNOW what The Scripture says of Elijah, how He (Elijah) PLEADS with GOD (GOD Almighty) AGAINST Israel, saying, “LORD (GOD Almighty), They (Israel) have KILLED Your (GOD Almighty’s) Prophets and TORN DOWN Your (GOD Almighty’s) Altars, and I (Elijah) ALONE am left, and They (Israel) SEEK My (Elijah’s) Life”?  But what does The DIVINE RESPONSE say to Him (Elijah)?  “I (GOD Almighty) have RESERVED for Myself (GOD Almighty) Seven Thousand (7,000) Men (Israel) who have NOT bowed the knee to Baal.”  Even so then, at THIS PRESENT TIME there is a REMNANT according to The Election of GRACE.  And IF By GRACE, then it is NO Longer of works; otherwise GRACE is NO Longer GRACE.  But if it is of works, it is NO Longer GRACE; otherwise work is NO Longer work.

What then?  Israel has NOT obtained what it SEEKS; but The Elect have OBTAINED IT, and The REST were BLINDED.  Just as it is WRITTEN: “GOD (GOD Almighty) has GIVEN Them (Israel) a Spirit of Stupor, Eyes that They (Israel) should NOT SEE and Ears that They (Israel) should NOT HEAR, to THIS VERY DAY.”  And David says: “Let Their (Israel’s) Table BECOME a SNARE and a TRAP, a STUMBLING BLOCK and a RECOMPENSE to Them (Israel).  Let Their (Israel’s) Eyes BE DARKENED, so that They (Israel) do NOT SEE, and bow down Their (Israel’s) Back, always.”

Romans 11:11-36

I (Paul) say then, have They (Israel) stumbled that They (Israel) should fall?  Certainly NOT!  But THROUGH Their (Israel’s) Fall, to PROVOKE Them (Israel) to jealousy, SALVATION has COME to The Gentiles (Believers).  Now, IF Their (Israel’s) Fall is RICHES for The World, and Their (Israel’s) Failure RICHES for The Gentiles (Believers), how much more Their (Israel’s) Fullness!

For I (Paul) speak to YOU (Believers) Gentiles (Believers); inasmuch as I (Paul) am an Apostle (Jesus Christ’s Disciple) to The Gentiles (Believers), I (Paul) MAGNIFY My (Paul’s) Ministry, if by ANY MEANS I (Paul) may PROVOKE to jealousy, Those (Israel) who are My (Paul’s) Flesh (Israel) and SAVE Some of Them (Israel).  For if Their (Israel’s) BEING Cast Away IS The RECONCILING of The World, what will Their (Israel’s) ACCEPTANCE BE, but LIFE from The Dead?

For if The FIRSTFRUIT (Jesus Christ) IS HOLY, The Lump (Believers) is also Holy; and if The ROOT (Jesus Christ) IS HOLY, so are The BRANCHES (Believers).  And if Some of The BRANCHES were BROKEN OFF, and YOU (Believers), being a Wild Olive Tree (Believers), were GRAFTED IN among Them (Israel), and WITH Them (Israel) Became a Partaker of The ROOT (Jesus Christ) and FATNESS of The Olive Tree (The Children of GOD Almighty), do NOT boast AGAINST The Branches (Israel).  But if YOU (Believers) do boast, REMEMBER that YOU (Believers) do NOT support The ROOT (Jesus Christ), but The ROOT (Jesus Christ) SUPPORTS YOU (Believers).

YOU (Believers) will say then, “Branches were BROKEN OFF that I (Believers) might be GRAFTED IN.”  Well said.  Because of UNBELIEF They (Unbelievers) were BROKEN OFF, and YOU (Believers) Stand By FAITH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ).  Do NOT be haughty, but FEAR.  For if GOD (GOD Almighty) did NOT Spare The Natural Branches (Israel), He (GOD Almighty) may NOT Spare YOU (Believers) either.  Therefore, consider The GOODNESS and SEVERITY of GOD (GOD Almighty): on Those (Unbelievers) who FELL, SEVERITY; but Toward YOU (Believers), GOODNESS, IF YOU (Believers) Continue IN His (GOD Almighty’s) GOODNESS. Otherwise YOU (Believers) also Will Be CUT OFF.  And They (Unbelievers) also, IF They (Unbelievers) do NOT continue in UNBELIEF, will be GRAFTED IN, for GOD (GOD Almighty) is ABLE TO GRAFT Them (Believers) in again.  For IF YOU were CUT OUT of The Olive Tree which is Wild by Nature, and were GRAFTED Contrary to Nature into a CULTIVATED Olive Tree, how much more will These (Israel), who are Natural Branches, BE GRAFTED into Their (Israel’s) Own Olive Tree?

For I (Paul) do NOT desire, Brethren (Believers), that YOU (Believers) should be IGNORANT of THIS MYSTERY, Lest YOU (Believers) should be wise in Your (Believers) Own Opinion, that BLINDNESS, in part, has happened to Israel, UNTIL The Fullness of The Gentiles (Believers) has COME IN.  And so All Israel Will be SAVED, as it is WRITTEN: “The Deliverer (Jesus Christ) Will COME OUT of Zion, and He (Jesus Christ) Will TURN AWAY Ungodliness (Unbelievers) from Jacob (Israel); for THIS IS My (GOD Almighty’s) Covenant with Them (Israel), when I (GOD Almighty’s) TAKE AWAY Their (Believers) sins.”

Concerning The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), They (Israel) are enemies for Your (Believers) Sake, but concerning The Election, They (Israel) are BELOVED for The Sake of The (Israel’s) Fathers.  For The GIFTS (Spiritual Gifts) and The CALLING (Believers) of GOD (GOD Almighty) ARE IRREVOCABLE.  For as YOU (Believers) were once DISOBEDIENT to GOD (GOD Almighty), yet have now OBTAINED MERCY through Their (Israel’s) Disobedience, even so These (Unbelievers) also have now been DISOBEDIENT, that THROUGH The MERCY Shown YOU (Believers), They (Israel) also may OBTAIN MERCY.  For GOD (GOD Almighty) has COMMITTED Them (Israel) All to DISOBEDIENCE, that He (GOD Almighty) might have MERCY on All (Believers).

Oh, The DEPTH of The Riches, BOTH of The Wisdom and Knowledge of GOD (GOD Almighty)!  How UNSEARCHABLE ARE His (GOD Almighty’s) Judgments and His (GOD Almighty’s) Ways PAST Finding Out!  “For who has KNOWN The MIND of The LORD (GOD Almighty)?  Or who has BECOME His (GOD Almighty’s) Counselor?”  “Or who has first GIVEN to Him (GOD Almighty) and it shall be REPAID to him?”  For OF Him (GOD Almighty) and THROUGH Him (GOD Almighty) and TO Him (GOD Almighty) ARE All Things, to Whom be GLORY Forever.  Amen.

Fellow Believers, We (Believers) have been GRAFTED IN, into The Family of GOD Almighty, into The Kingdom of GOD Almighty, into The Kingdom of Heaven, which KNOWS No END!  We (Believers) ARE Brothers AND Sisters, IN Jesus Christ, yes, We (Believers) ARE Brothers AND Sisters OF Jesus Christ, by GOD Almighty’s Love, Mercy, and Grace, THROUGH The Sacrifice of Our Brother, Jesus Christ, Who GAVE His (Jesus Christ’s) Mortal Life, WILLINGLY, so that We (Believers) may have Everlasting Life.  We (Believers) will be in GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and yes, All The Rest of The Children of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever.  Amen.
