What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The Roman Epistle is a dissertation on the righteousness of God feathering together with the miraculous salvation of man. It is a very tight fit, and only works out “through the forbearance of God” (Rom 3:25b.) A second theme is found as God repeatedly emphasizes the place of his chosen people Israel. Chapter 11 begins, “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid!...” With the swamp waters of DC getting pretty low there are all kinds of ugly creatures exposed and wiggling around in the mud; none is uglier than the liberal left's hatred for Israel. Such hatred aligns well with Muslim goals and unfortunately fits with the antisemitism of Roman and Protestant denominations. Romans 11 assures that there is coming a national salvation of Israel. Individual salvation comes via Romans 10:9-10, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek” (Rom 10:12). Protestant denominations, including the Reformed, are ignorant of this mystery and wise in their own conceits, not realizing that there is coming an end for the time of the Gentiles, “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Romans 11:25,26).

One cannot rightly divide the Word of Truth until they see the difference between the judgment of individuals and the judgment of the nations. Ergo we should study to shew ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. The USA will eventually turn against Israel, thankfully, under President Donald Trump, it will not be today, and prayerfully it will not be in 2020. The Bible believer will never turn against God's chosen people Israel. Study this out, and watch the Fig Tree (Luke 21:29-33).
