The Mystery of Israel's Salvation

Throughout this chapter, Paul has been explaining the reasons for Israel's failure to obtain what she should have been seeking by faith. Now in verses 25-32, Paul stresses that the mystery as to why Israel faltered has been revealed through the coming of the gospel. In the arrival of the glorious gospel, God has not only revealed that his redemptive purposes will stand, but that he will demonstrate mercy to all of his covenant people, both Israelites and Gentiles.
