May 10, 2022 • Romans 11, Romans 11:11–12, Romans 11:25, Ephesians 2:15, Joel 3:14
Paul felt urgency that the body of Christ needed to understand God’s plan for Israel’s salvation (Rom. 11:25-26). In Romans 11, Paul highlighted 5 parts of God’s plan to bring the gospel to the nations. God’s mystery refers to His “secret plan” that He hid until He revealed it to the apostles (Eph. 3:5, 9). Part 1: The mystery of Israel’s spiritual blindness (Rom. 11:25)
Part 2: The mystery of the fullness of the Gentiles (Rom. 11:25)
Part 3: The mystery of Israel being provoked to jealousy by Gentiles (Rom. 11:11)
Part 4: The mystery of all Israel being saved (Rom. 11:26)
Part 5: The mystery of the fullness of Israel (Rom. 11:12) resulting in the millennial earth filled with God’s glory (Hab. 2:14) in context to the Father’s international family of affection (Jn. 17:23)
