Romans 11:36

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 11:36

REFLECTIONS Pause, Reader! and, beholding the rejection of Israel as a nation, after all their high privileges; consider what may be, what will be, the rejection of any, and of every mere nominal Church, which hath the form, but is destitute of the power, of godliness! To this our guilty sinful land, and to every Christ-despising generation like the present, how awful that Scripture sounds, in trembling accents: If God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee!... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 11:33-36

O the depth, &c. After he hath spoken of the mysteries of God's grace and predestination, of his mercy and justice, which we must not pretend to dive into, he concludes this part of his epistle, by an exclamation, to teach us submission of our judgment, as to the secrets of his providence, which we cannot comprehend. --- How incomprehensible are his judgments, &c. --- Who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him? That is, no one, by any merit on his part, can first... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:33-36

33-36 The apostle Paul knew the mysteries of the kingdom of God as well as ever any man; yet he confesses himself at a loss; and despairing to find the bottom, he humbly sits down at the brink, and adores the depth. Those who know most in this imperfect state, feel their own weakness most. There is not only depth in the Divine counsels, but riches; abundance of that which is precious and valuable. The Divine counsels are complete; they have not only depth and height, but breadth and length,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 11:1-99

Romans 11 THOUGH ISRAEL, as a nation, has been set aside for a time, they have not been cast away for ever. Some Gentiles in the conceit of their hearts thought so when Paul was writing, and not a few think so today. But God forbid that it should be so, for they are His people foreknown for a special object, and in that event His object would be defeated. The Apostle immediately cites his own case as proof. Mercy had been shown to him and he was an Israelite, a sample of that remnant which... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 11:33-36

A concluding doxology: v. 33. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! v. 34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counselor? v. 35. Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed to him again? v. 36. For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to whom be glory forever! Amen. The apostle has brought the historical part of his exposition to a... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 11:1-36

Third Section.—The final gracious solution of the enigma, or the overruling of judgment for the salvation of Israel. God’s judgment on Israel is not one of reprobation. God’s saving economy in His Providence over Jews and Gentiles, over the election and the great majority of Israel, and over the concatenation of judgment and salvation, by virtue of which all Israel shall finally attain to faith and salvation through the fulness of the Gentiles. The universality of judgment and mercy.... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 11:25-36

That God “Might Have Mercy upon All” Romans 11:25-36 “Mysteries” are the reasons and principles of the divine procedure which are hidden from ordinary minds, but revealed to the children of God by the Spirit, who searches the deep things, 1 Corinthians 2:10 . We cannot tell how near the brim we are, or when the fullness of the Gentiles will fill the predestined measure. It may be much nearer than we suppose, and then the door will be closed, and the Hebrew nation will be grafted in to serve... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 11:1-36

This discussion now gives rise to a new question, "Did God cast off His people?" They were created a nation in order that through them all the nations should be blessed. Failing to realize the divine intention concerning their own national life, they consequently and necessarily failed to fulfil that intention concerning the nations outside. God, however, does not allow the outside nations to suffer, but in infinite grace works through the fall of His earthly people toward enriching the whole... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 11:36

GOD’S REVELATION TO MAN‘Of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory for ever.’ Romans 11:36 We are in great danger of losing much of the comfort and strength which we are intended to find in the Holy Scriptures by studying them, if we study them at all, or thinking of them in what I may call a fragmentary way. We read a passage here and there, or we hear it read to us in the services of God’s house, but we fail to take a general view of the whole revelation, which is... read more
