ANALYSIS.

The rejection of the Jews is not total, as is sufficiently manifest from the example of the apostle himself, to say nothing of others, v. 1. God had reserved a remnant faithful to himself, as was the case in the times of E lias, vs. 2 — i. That this remnant is saved, is a matter entirely of grace, vs. 5, 6. The real truth of the case is, that Israel as a nation is excluded from the kingdom of Christ, hut the chosen ones are admitted to its blessings, v. 7. This rejection of the greater part of the Jews, their own scriptures had predicted, vs. 8 — 10.
