God's ways are inscrutable, lofty, and impossible to understand without the aid of His Holy Spirit. As we grow in our understanding of His plan for Israel, the gentiles, and our lives, we recognize that salvation is from Him, through Him, and for His glory and our good.

Israel was a part of God's divine plan to bless the nations. Despite Israel's rejection of Christ as a whole (though a remnant remained), Paul reminded gentiles that the root of Israel was good and that gentiles were recipients of God's kindness in order to provoke Israel to jealousy and a returning to the root offered through Christ.

For centuries, God made Himself known to Israel and the Jews. He was not silent and use a variety of means to reveal Himself to His elect. However, due to their hardness of heart, rebellion, and deaf ears, God raised up a new people to fulfill His purposes throughout the earth.
