The Blind
Israel is blinded for their sins. But also for our sakes.
Jer:23:15:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Jer:6:21: Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Jer:18:3: Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.4: And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.5: Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
The vail that is spread over all nations
Isa:25:6: And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.7: And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.8: He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it
.Isa:29:17: Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?18: And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.19: The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
rom:11:25: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.26: 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:27: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.28: As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.29: For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom:11:30:For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:31: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.Rom:11:32:For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
In part Israel is blinded for our sakes. We obtained mercy through their unbelief And through our mercy they will obtain mercy.
all Israel shall be saved
" I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy"
Romans 11:7,:The election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Amos:8:11: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:12: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.13: In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.14: They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again
Romans 11:16-24
,16: For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.17: And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;18: Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.19: Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.20: Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:21: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.22: Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.23: And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.24: For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Isa:5:2: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
