Let's get right to it.
I speak the truth in Christ —I am not lying; my conscience is testifying to me with the Holy Spirit —
Romans 9:1 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:1 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Paul just made it clear he’s about to be painfully honest, and has bound his words to be judged by God, as He is holding himself in personal accountability of Preaching what he’s about to preach under God.
that I have intense sorrow and continual anguish in my heart.
For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.
They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises. The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.
Romans 9:2-5 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:2-5 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Paul’s heart hurts... why? In verse 2 he immediately reveals he is broken inside!
Verses 3-5 reveal why! Paul literally wishes he could revoke his salvation to give it to a group of people that apparently matter to him enormously. As Paul is speaking under oath of the Holy Spirit, he is revealing God’s heart, as well. This lines up with Christ’s words that close Matthew 23 with deep sorrow and lamenting, but show hope.
Also, we can be certain that Paul is speaking directly about a contrast between LITERAL GOSPEL REJECTING ISRAEL because in Verses 3-5, Paul is echoing Moses... Exodus 32:32 Now if You would only forgive their sin. But if not, please erase me from the book You have written.”
Who is making Paul sad? His brothers of “his own flesh and blood”... which is clearly a reference to his unbelieving Jewish brothers of the Broken off nature, of ... what Nation?
Israel as Paul calls these broken off Jews Israelites! Paul specifically notes that they are Israelites of the National Israel and goes on to specify that they are so by blood, DNA, Ancestral experience! Anyone who contests this is ignoring context...
But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Neither are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac.
Romans 9:6-7 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:6-7 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jesus is the very “Word of God”, thus we now deduct that Paul is identifying the BOC. As Paul only refers to “Jerusalem Above” (IE the Jerusalem discussed in Revelation 21 that comes down), in reference to the BOC, we can conclude that Paul is now referring to the contrast of (Earthly Unbelieving Israel, with Heavenly Believing Israel)...
He then identifies this Body as not being of Abraham’s Descendants of Blood, but as the Offspring of Isaac, who is the Shadow of Christ, in the near Sacrifice account and the child of Promise!
That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring. For this is the statement of the promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.
Romans 9:8-9 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:8-9 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Now Paul goes forward to affirm what I am saying in Exegesis, for verses 6-7
That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring.
Romans 9:8 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:8 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Now, Paul continues to affirm the existence of the Israel of God By physical descent... then contrasts it with the Children of Christ to be the Grafted in Children of Heavenly Jerusalem (Jerusalem Above).
For this is the statement of the promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son. And not only that, but also Rebekah received a promise when she became pregnant by one man, our ancestor Isaac.
Romans 9:9-10 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:9-10 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Paul again affirms the Promise of THE SON, through the shadow Promise of the Son that was to be Isaac, who then Married Rebekah, who then Had two Sons, who contended for the Birthright. (Jacob and Esau). We see this to this very day as the Unbelieving Jews and The BOC are contending for the birthright, of the same FATHER!
For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand— not from works but from the One who calls—she was told: The older will serve the younger.
Romans 9:11-12 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:11-12 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Here Paul makes it clear by using the words that neither of Rebekah’s sons had lived yet by Righteousness or Unrighteousness, as they hadn’t been born yet, that a promise was to be fulfilled through Rebekah that would make the standing election of Jesus Christ to be born, and be Savior, through one of Rebekah’s sons, a clear promise affirmed!
Then Paul affirms Faith by emphasizing “Not from Works, but from the ONE WHO calls”, again affirming the entire matter to be hurtling towards Jesus Christ!
Paul then quotes that the Older will serve the younger. This now affirms that Israel would Serve the Body of Christ, to further God’s plan.
We can even see in scripture that Jacob and Esau parted ways, for quite a long time, as Jacob received the Birthright, though Younger, and yet, Jacob and Esau reunite in peace that blesses them both!
As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.
Romans 9:13 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:13 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
In Hebrew the word hate means to be wounded by or emotionally hurt by something, thus showing how Esau’s forsaking of his birthright for food, hurt God and Parallels how the BOC’s inheritance of the Birthright of the declaration of God’s Compassion and Love to all humanity hurt God, in that the leaders of National Israel forsook Jesus Christ, thus cutting them off from their birthright and having it bestowed on the younger brother, the BOC.
Let us not forget Genesis 33 where Jacob and Esau eventually meet up and reconcile! If it wasn’t important, it wouldn’t be in scripture.
What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not! For He tells Moses: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Romans 9:14-15 - Bible Gateway passage: Romans 9:14-15 - Holman Christian Standard Bible
Here, Paul now poses the question if God is Unjust... which is quite a serious question!
He immediately affirms that God is not to reveal his stance, before anyone can say he inferred otherwise! This happens in preaching all the time!
A question is asked to prepare the hearer for the proper train of thought. How does Paul follow up the train of thought?
Upon Moses asking God to strike his name from the book of life if God doesn’t follow through with His promises to the Literal, Earthly Children of Israel, God replies as Paul quotes. Now we’re seeing Paul parallel with Moses in that he opens with a desire to nearly revoke his salvation so the Enemy of the Gospel Brethren of Jewish descent that he is hurting over, can have their salvation!
