Chapter 9 Part 2

Download Notes

Romans 9:9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Romans 9:10 And not only this; but when Rachael also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any tov, or evil, that the purpose of vuvh according to choice might stand, not of works, but of Him that does the calling;
Romans 9:12 It was said to her, The older boy shall serve the younger.

2 Samuel 8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

Loved & hated is akin to delighted & rejected. יהוה delighted in Jacob’s fidelity to the covenant yet he rejected Esau because of his infidelity toward the covenant.

Romans 9:13 As it is written, Yaakov have I loved, but Esav have I hated.
Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with vuvh? Let it not be!
Romans 9:15 For He says to Moshe, I will have chen on whom I will have chen, and I will have rachamim on whom I will have rachamim.

Chen and Rachamin are linguistically connected to YHWH’s display of mercy to corporate Israel, providing them with the cleft in the rock:

Exodus 33:12  

If the Jewish people reject Yahusha they’ll be cut off from Israel’s kingdom.
The corporate election remains true, but corporate election doesn’t translate over into individual election.

Romans 9:16 So then it is not within reach of him that wishes, nor of him that strives in the flesh to be Yisrael, but of vuvh that shows rachamim.
Romans 9:17 For the Katuv says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show My power in you, and that My Name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Romans 9:18 Therefore He has rachamim on whom He will have rachamim, and He hardens the levavot of those He does not choose.
Romans 9:19 You might say then to me, Why does He find fault with some that He does not choose? For who has resisted His will?

Calvinism with five points: TULIP:

Arminianism with five points.

Romans 9:20 No but, O man, who are you that replies and talks back to vuvh? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why have you made me this way?
Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
Romans 9:22 What if vuvh, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction:
Romans 9:23 And that He might make known the riches of His tifereth on the vessels of rachamim, that He had prepared beforehand for tifereth,

Note: the clay is formed from one lump – the seed of Jacob, Jews and non Jews spread throughout the whole earth.

Both houses have a redeemed remnant prepared to be vessels of honor.

Romans 9:24 Even us, whom He has called, not of the Yahudim only, but also of the nations?
Romans 9:25 As He says also in Hoshea, I will call them My People-Ami, who were not My People-Lo-Ami; and will call her Ruchamah, who were Lo-Ruchamah.
Romans 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My People-Lo Ami; there shall they be called children of the living tvkt. (Hosea 1:9 the ”not my peoples” are 10-Israel – the House of Israel; this is THE MYSTERY of the New Testament).

Hosea and Gomer, her adultery and Hosea’s long suffering and mercy – are יהוה and Israel respectively, the Golden calf adultery, Israel’s later divorce and the eventual reunification.

Note the direct connection between the latter-day “nations,” and the House of Israel; or Ephraim of Hosea chapter 1 verses 8-9, and chapter 2 verse 23!

Hosea 2:1: Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. 2  Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

Hosea 2:23: And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Hosea 4:6:  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children

Hosea 6:1  Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Hosea 8:1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 8:10 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.  When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.11  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.12  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Romans 9:27 Yeshayahu also cries on behalf of Yisrael, Though the number of b’nai Yisrael be as the sand of the sea; only a remnant shall be saved:

Romans 9:28 For He will finish the work, and cut it short in tzedakah: because a short work will the Master vuvh make upon the earth.
Romans 9:29 And as Yeshayahu said before, Except the Master vuvh tzevaoth had left us a surviving remnant, we would have been as Sedom, and been made like Amora.

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the nations, who followed not after the law of tzedakah, have attained tzedakah, even the tzedakah that comes by emunah.
Romans 9:31 But Yisrael, which followed after the law of tzedakah, has not attained the law of tzedakah. (the Torah of tzedakah – the Torah-tzadik – what division of Torah is connected the Malki-Tzedik covenants of promise and made possible by Messiah?)

32 Why not? Because they sought it not by emunah, but as it were by the works of the law alone (works of the BoL, membership into the community doesn’t come by adhering to the BoL and cutting the flesh) . For they stumbled at that Stumbling Stone; 33 As it is written, See, I lay in Tzion a Stumbling Stone and Rock of Offense: and whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.
