INTRODUCTION Christianity has roots that are deeply entwined with the nation of Israel. Today’s Christian needs to be aware of God’s plan for that great nation of people, both historically and prophetically. Paul meets this need in Romans, chapters nine through eleven, by focusing four questions: “Has the apostle Paul no concern for Israel?” “Why has Israel as a nation been rejected by God and set aside and Gentiles called?” “Is the rejection of Israel complete?” Is the rejection of Israel final?”
