The Mystery of Israel’s Restoration

25

For, brothers, I want you to understand this truth which God formerly concealed but has now revealed, so that you won’t imagine you know more than you actually do. It is that stoniness, to a degree, has come upon Isra’el, until the Gentile world enters in its fullness;

26

and that it is in this way that all Isra’el will be saved. As the Tanakh says, “Out of Tziyon will come the Redeemer; he will turn away ungodliness from Ya‘akov

27

and this will be my covenant with them, . . . when I take away their sins.”

28

With respect to the Good News they are hated for your sake. But with respect to being chosen they are loved for the Patriarchs’ sake,

29

for God’s free gifts and his calling are irrevocable.

30

Just as you yourselves were disobedient to God before but have received mercy now because of Isra’el’s disobedience;

31

so also Isra’el has been disobedient now, so that by your showing them the same mercy that God has shown you, they too may now receive God’s mercy.

32

For God has shut up all mankind together in disobedience, in order that he might show mercy to all.
