 28As to the gospel, [they are] enemies on your account, but as to the election beloved on account of the fathers;
 29for indefeasible are [the] gifts and the calling of God. (Rom. 11:1‑7,28‑29)
• The kingdom which began in sin went on in sin and must perish. There is no prospect of restoration held out to the kingdom founded by Jeroboam. But Jehovah promises the intervention of mercy (not to Judah merely but) to “the house of Jacob.” When in the latter day restoration is taken in hand, God will assemble the outcasts of Israel no less than the dispersed of Judah. The chaff, of course, must perish in the fire. The true grain of the Lord’s sowing should not fall to the ground. (“Amos 9” by W. Kelly)
