FIVE ARGUMENTS PROVING GOD HAS A FUTURE PURPOSE FOR ISRAEL AS A NATION
Argument #1: The salvation of the Gentiles was designed to reach Israel:
Argument #2: The best is yet to come when worldwide blessing comes through Israel.
1.1 ARGUMENT #3: THE ACCEPTABLE FIRSTFRUITS INDICATES THE REST WILL BE ACCEPTED
2.1 Identity of the firstfruit
3.1 THE FIRSTFRUITS OF DOUGH
4.1 It was holy
4.2 It was an act of thanksgiving
3.2 THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE FATHERS
2.2 Identity of the lump
1.2 ARGUMENT #4: ISRAEL THE BRANCH BROKEN OFF ALLOWS FOR THE GENTILES AS WILD OLIVE BRANCHES TO BE GRAFTED IN
Olive Tree symbolizes Israel
1.3 THE ISSUE OF BOASTING BY GENTILES
2.1 The advantageous position of Gentile believers
3.1 ISRAELS BRANCHES HAVE BEEN BROKEN OFF
3.2 BELIEVING GENTILES HAVE BEEN GRAFTED IN
3.3 BELIEVING GENTILES NOW PARTAKE OF ISRAELS SPIRITUAL RICHNESS
2.2 The warning against boasting
2.3 In boasting the Gentiles must keep the right perspective
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. (NKJV)
