That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter.
(1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1)
(2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6).
(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10).
(4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25).
(5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22).
(6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24).
(7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; Genesis 15:5,6; Galatians 3:29 and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant.
(See Scofield "Genesis 15:18") but Israel as a nation always has it own place, and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God. See "Israel" Genesis 12:2; Romans 11:26 "Kingdom" ; Genesis 1:26-28; Zechariah 12:8.
