ISB ~ Romans 10 v20 - 21

A final demonstration that unbelieving Israel is guilty of willful defiance.

• Paul examines two sequential verses from Isaiah, applying the first to the Gentiles (10:20; Is 65:1) and the second to wayward Israel (10:21; Is 65:2). The contrast is stark:the nations are responding enthusiastically to the gospel without having sought it, whereas Israel remains unresponsive despite the Lord’s persistent pleas for faith.
