• {v.7-8} Neither because they were of the seed of Abraham were they therefore all children. For in that case Ishmael must have been received; and the Jews would by no means hear of that. God then was sovereign. (“Romans 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The Jews were really the last people in the world who could afford to question divine sovereignty. Again and again in their history it had been exercised in their favor. (“The Sovereignty of God Israel's Past Election: Romans 9” by B. Anstey)
• {v.7-9} By God's choosing of Isaac rather than Ishmael, it is clear that blessing in Abraham's house did not come through the line of natural descent. And, it will be that way when the kingdom of Christ is established on earth—not all of Abraham's natural "children" will be blessed as his "seed" and inherit the promises. (“The Sovereignty of God Israel's Past Election: Romans 9” by B. Anstey)
