paul quotes isa 17 times from romans 9-15...this verse is one quoted
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

All in Romans 9:thumbsup::wavey::thumbsup:

and romans 115 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.


paul sums it up;
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Usually, I don't get good answers to these verses from Mid-Acts dispensationalists other than that Paul was making analogies to justify his ministry to Gentiles, not that his ministry was actually fulfilling these verses. Interesting how they cling to "The Mystery®" and associate all sorts of unique baggage to this term, but have to "spiritualize" away Paul's references to Old Testament prophecy.

Acts 28 dispensationalists (followers of Bullinger, Sellers, and Welch) jump on these verses against their mid-Acts counterparts to emphasize that "The Mystery®" (the Body of Christ) did not begin until Acts 28:28. Paul's references to "mystery" in his "Acts epistles" were of a "mystery according to prophecy" such that these prophecies were being fulfilled in Gentiles being grafted into Israel and sharing in Israel's inheritance to provoke the Jews to jealousy. Jew and Gentile were equal "before God" but NOT "equal to each other." Jews still had to follow the Law and the Gentiles did not, but they had to be "allied with Israel" and support them "in carnal things." The real Body of Christ did not begin until Acts 28:28 where God created "the new man" and Jew and Gentile were now equal to each other with neither under the Law. Both in the Body have heaven as their home rather than that they will "reign on the earth."
