“ And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them … 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through (Israel’s) fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles … 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? …22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off (to our rejoice, I insert). 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graff them in again …28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes ….” —Rom 11: 9-29.
