Purposes of the 2nd Advent – 3

Deliver Israel

Romans 11:25-29

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

  “The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
 And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
  For this is My covenant with them,
 When I take away their sins.”

      Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Isaiah 63:1-6

Who is this who comes from Edom,
   With dyed garments from Bozrah,
 This One who is glorious in His apparel,
 Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
 “I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
  Why is Your apparel red,
 And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
  “I have trodden the winepress alone,
 And from the peoples no one was with Me.
 For I have trodden them in My anger,
 And trampled them in My fury;
 Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
 And I have stained all My robes.
  For the day of vengeance is in My heart,
 And the year of My redeemed has come.
I looked, but there was no one to help,
 And I wondered
 That there was no one to uphold;
 Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me;
 And My own fury, it sustained Me.
  I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
 Made them drunk in My fury,
 And brought down their strength to the earth.”
