What of us who haven't? Are they to weep and fear God does not look to their hearts?
Paul speaks of a grafting in.... But warns of holding the gentile hope as a pride over those who do not embrace Him.
Ummm.. Felt like starting trouble. This place is corrupting me beyond my own efforts.

We can look at this if you would like, the grafting in.
Romans 11:1-36 NASB - 1 I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? 3 "Lord, THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE." 4 But what is the divine response to him? "I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL." 5 In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. 7 What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened; 8 just as it is written,"GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR,EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT,DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY." 9 And David says,"LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP,AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM. 10 "LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT,AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER." 11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be! 13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,"THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." 27 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS." 28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. 32 For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? 35 Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
It is a very interesting place to look. It gives the idea that there are mysteries that we don't have enough information provided to understand.
This is a wonderful topic, because it carries warnings to our nature to spiritually condemn others. It leaves mysteries of how God will show mercy is his age to come.
25 to 36 are meat to chew on. This verse brings a mysterious relationship between Jews and Christians. I love those verses in a way I can't begin to express. It warns against belittling the Jews that reject Yeshewa. It even suggests that there is more to be reviewed in the future.
Joel 2 is about an army of Locusts which seem eerily familiar from the book of Revelation.
12 Even now—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
turn to Me with all your heart,
with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13 Tear your hearts,
not just your clothes,
and return to the Lord your God.
For He is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger, rich in faithful love,
and He relents from sending disaster.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent
and leave a blessing behind Him,
so you can offer grain and wine
to the Lord your God.
15 Blow the horn in Zion!
Announce a sacred fast;
proclaim an assembly.
16 Gather the people;
sanctify the congregation;
assemble the aged;
gather the children,
even those nursing at the breast.
Let the groom leave his bedroom,
and the bride her honeymoon chamber.
17 Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,
weep between the portico and the altar.
Let them say:
“Have pity on Your people, Lord,
and do not make Your inheritance a disgrace,
an object of scorn among the nations.
Why should it be said among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
Perhaps it is related.

See verses 14 and 23.
My faith is riding on the shocking goodness and forgiveness of God. His Love is the greatest mystery of all!!!
Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known: 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
I am looking at the context now for all three of these verses, and the two statements I have made. I am now seeing something different or not seeing what I had thought I saw previously.
The Ten Commandments were given twice, but I may be incorrect that God wrote the Ten Commandments the first time and Moses the second time. I do not know where this belief comes from. I thought I saw this clearly, but now I do not think I was seeing this clearly. Even after being shown the context for Deuteronomy 10:4, I still thought this about Exodus 34:28 NASB. Is it possible that God had Moses write the Ten Commandments both times? Or that He wrote them both times with Moses there? I am thinking about these things. I had done a word search for "Ten Commandments".
Deuteronomy 10: (1-)3-5.
Deuteronomy 10:1-5 NASB - 1 "At that time the LORD said to me, 'Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself. 2 'I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.' 3 "So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand. 4 "He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me. 5 "Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me."
I believe understanding Hebrew will help with this. I have begun by looking at the JPS and also the interlinear for the NASB.
I welcome help with this.
Danoh,
Good for you for pointing out my name by the way.
I admit that I need grace by the ton.
If I get rowdy, know that I admit I go too far way too much. No ill. I have thick skin, and assume you do too.
But on that same note, I agree with every word of these verses. What meaning do they have to you in context of the quote you listed?
Jacob,
The first set are implied to be totally provided of God. As in Moses didn't even carve them out of the mount.
The second he is instructed to carve out. God does the writing.
But the fact that Moses is written to have been instructed to cut out the second set is a big deal.
Do you know Hebrew?
The following are some scripture verses about the Ten Commandments.
It pairs the work of God with the work of man. The very writings of them are contained in the book of the Law. The entire book of the law is found in the Pentatuke, Torah, in Deuteronomy 31:26, you can see its biblical book end written, and it is placed in the Ark of the Covenant..... Now I'll search for its opening book end and get back to you.
If you start at the provision of the Decalogue (Stone 10) in Exodus 19 and read through to Deuteronomy 31:26 and note repetition and story as such.... You are certain to see what the book of the law encompasses. This is the sacred Jewish covenants dispensation.
Note that Paul says in Galations that it was bi lateral of sorts.... The exact phrase he uses is dispensation of angels.

I do not.
However, you can read the Tanakh in English, and it goes between Hebrew and English.
Um... In other words, you can trust the Jewish interpretation of the first 39 books of the bible because they would not dare alter the Torah.
