But if Israel’s going wrong has brought riches to the world, and their loss has brought riches to the Gentiles, how much greater riches will come when all Israel turns back to God!
Brothers and sisters, here’s a mystery I want you to understand. It will keep you from being proud. Part of Israel has refused to obey God, and that will continue until the full number of Gentiles has entered God’s kingdom.
God has chosen to make known to them the glorious riches of that mystery among the Gentiles. And here’s what it is: Christ is in you, the hope of glory.
When they were not accepted, it became possible for the whole world to be brought back to God. So what will happen when they are accepted? It will be like life from the dead.
God’s wisdom and knowledge are so profoundly rich! We can’t understand how he reaches such wise decisions! We can’t figure out how he deals with people so well!
