Romans 11
Paul asks if God has permanently rejected Israel. He answers by saying No, pointing to himself and the existence of a remnant of Jewish believers chosen by grace. Paul uses the allegory of the olive tree: the natural branches (Israel) were broken off due to unbelief, and the wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in. Paul warns the Gentiles not to be arrogant. He concludes with the mystery that God has permitted Israel's hardening so that salvation would come to the Gentiles, ultimately leading to Israel's full restoration.
