“For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:”
King James Version (KJV)
11:28 They are now enemies - To the gospel, to God, and to themselves, which God permits. For your sake: but as for the election - That part of them who believe, they are beloved.
11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance - God does not repent of his gifts to the Jews, or his calling of the gentiles.
11:32 For God hath shut up all together in disobedience - Suffering each in their turn to revolt from him. First, God suffered the gentiles in the early age to revolt, and took the family of Abraham as a peculiar seed to himself. Afterwards he permitted them to fall through unbelief, and took in the believing gentiles. And he did even this to provoke the Jews to jealousy, and so bring them also in the end to faith. This was truly a mystery in the divine conduct, which the apostle adores with such holy astonishment.
Ro 11:30 For as ye. The Gentiles. In times past have not believed in God, etc. Formerly they were without God, but had now obtained mercy. This was due, indirectly, as shown, to the Jewish unbelief.
