Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:1

1. I say then, Hath—"Did" God cast away his people? God forbid—Our Lord did indeed announce that "the kingdom of God should be taken from Israel" ( :-); and when asked by the Eleven, after His resurrection, if He would at that time "restore the kingdom to Israel," His reply is a virtual admission that Israel was in some sense already out of covenant (Acts 1:9). Yet here the apostle teaches that, in two respects, Israel was not "cast away"; First, Not totally; Second, Not finally. FIRST, Israel... read more

2-4. God hath—"did" not cast away his people—that is, wholly which he foreknew—On the word "foreknew," see on :-. Wot—that is, "Know" ye not that the scripture saith of—literally, "in," that is, in the section which relates to Elias? how he maketh intercession—"pleadeth" against Israel—(The word "saying," which follows, as also the particle "and" before "digged down," should be omitted, as without manuscript authority). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:5

5. Even so at this present time—"in this present season"; this period of Israel's rejection. (See :-, Greek). there is—"there obtains," or "hath remained" a remnant according to the election of grace—"As in Elijah's time the apostasy of Israel was not so universal as it seemed to be, and as he in his despondency concluded it to be, so now, the rejection of Christ by Israel is not so appalling in extent as one would be apt to think: There is now, as there was then, a faithful remnant; not... read more

6. And, c.—better, "Now if it (the election) be by grace, it is no more of works for [then] grace becomes no more grace: but if it be of works," c. (The authority of ancient manuscripts against this latter clause, as superfluous and not originally in the text, though strong, is not sufficient, we think, to justify its exclusion. Such seeming redundancies are not unusual with our apostle). The general position here laid down is of vital importance: That there are but two possible sources of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:7

7-10. What then?—How stands the fact? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for—better, "What Israel is in search of (that is, Justification, or acceptance with God—see on :-); this he found not; but the election (the elect remnant of Israel) found it, and the rest were hardened," or judicially given over to the "hardness of their own hearts." read more

8. as it is written— (Isaiah 29:10; Deuteronomy 29:4). God hath given—"gave" them the spirit of slumber—"stupor" unto this day—"this present day." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:9

9. And David saith— ( :-), which in such a Messianic psalm must be meant of the rejecters of Christ. Let their table, &c.—that is, Let their very blessings prove a curse to them, and their enjoyments only sting and take vengeance on them. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:10

10. Let their eyes be darkened . . . and bow down their back alway—expressive either of the decrepitude, or of the servile condition, to come on the nation through the just judgment of God. The apostle's object in making these quotations is to show that what he had been compelled to say of the then condition and prospects of his nation was more than borne out by their own Scriptures. But, SECONDLY, God has not cast away His people finally. The illustration of this point extends, :-. read more
