But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” Romans 9:6-8. Even though many Jews have failed to believe; God’s promise to them has not failed, for there was never a promise that every Jewish person would be saved. It was never the case that all the physical children of Abraham were truly part of the people of God; for Gen. 21:12 teaches that the line of promise is traced through Isaac, not Ishmael. In the Old Testament era, natural descent did not automatically guarantee inheritance of the promise. God chose who should inherit it. Meditate on this one long and hard today…as scripture(s) over the next couple of days will challenge that which many have been taught and believe as truth. If there was never a promise for that every Jew (God’s chosen people) be saved…Why would He promise that every gentile be saved?
