Pauline • Who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law; the service of God, and the promises Romans 9:4 Diatheke - Plural, present continuous active tense-not aorist
Reference Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah Jeremiah 31:31
Do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Romans 11:18-19
And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Romans 11: 23-25
For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. Romans 11:29
