GENTILES IN ROMANS 9:19-33 ARE THE CUT OFF ISRAELITES, THE NORTHERN KINGDOM, THE DIASPORA 

by Tuese Ahkiong

The word "Gentile" comes from the word goyim or goy which refers to the nation(s) or clan(s).  It has come to be known as non-Jew.  Another definition for gentile is for the Northern Kingdom, Israel being CUT-OFF by YHWH for its adultery and idolatry.  In Hosea 1, YHWH calls Israel, The Northern Kingdom, "NOT MY PEOPLE" and also her who was "NOT BELOVED."  

ROMANS 9:19You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” ²⁰ But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” ²¹ Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? ²² What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, ²³ in order to MAKE KNOWN THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY FOR VESSELS OF MERCY, WHICH HE HAS PREPARED BEFOREHAND FOR GLORY

— ²⁴ EVEN US WHOM HE HAS CALLED, NOT FROM THE JEWS ONLY but also FROM THE GENTILES? ²⁵ As indeed he says in Hosea,

“Those who were not my people I WILL CALL ‘MY PEOPLE,’
    and her who was not beloved I WILL CALL ‘BELOVED.’”²⁶ “AND IN THE VERY PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, ‘You are not my people,’
    there THEY WILL BE CALLED ‘SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.’”

²⁷ And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, ONLY A REMNANT OF THEM WILL BE SAVED, ²⁸ for THE LORD WILL CARRY OUT HIS SENTENCE UPON THE EARTH FULLY AND WITHOUT DELAY.” ²⁹ And as Isaiah predicted,

“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.”

³⁰ What shall we say, then? THAT GENTILES WHO DID NOT PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS HAVE ATTAINED IT, that is, a righteousness THAT IS BY FAITH; ³¹ but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. ³² Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, ³³ as it is written,

“Behold, I AM LAYING IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING, AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE;
    AND WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.”

Paul cited the prophets Hosea & Isaiah 3 times identifying the “not my people” from Hosea as the northern kingdom Israel, who was called my people; the elect remnant were Israel; and gentiles who did not pursue righteousness attained it!  

Again Paul cites the prophets to confirm what is being fulfilled in his days!

**v23 “THE ELECT OF SCRIPTURE” are those who are known by YHWH as His remnant, vessels of mercy from both southern and northern kingdoms.

**v24 “EVEN US” are the remnant from the diaspora, Northern Kingdom, Israel, the GENTILES. 

There are also those whom are called from the gentiles; scattered Israel who became like the gentiles.

**v25  “THOSE WERE NOT YHWH’s PEOPLE and who were NOT BELOVED were the Northern Kingdom, Israel, whom YHWH NOW declares, “MY PEOPLE” and “BELOVED.”

**V26 They are called, “SONS OF THE LIVING GOD” in the place they were declared “Not My People.”

**v27 ONLY THE REMNANT WERE SAVED = ONLY THE ELECT OF ISRAEL.

**V28 The Lord carries out His sentence upon the covenant world fully and without delay in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

**v29 THE GENTILES, those of the Northern kingdom who were cut off attained RIGHTEOUS by FAITH.

**v30 GENTILES (Northern Kingdom scattered Israelites) who did not pursue righteousness ATTAINED IT, that is RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH.

**V31 WORKS OF THE LAW FAILS.

**V32 FAITH SAVES AND WORKS DOESN'T 

**V33 APOSTATE JEWS REJECTED THEIR MESSIAH and were put to shame, 70AD!  Those who believed were not put to shame.

 

Romans 9:11

(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God ACCORDING TO ELECTION might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

**God's elect Israelites among the Roman gentile nation were being gathered in Israel's Last Days.

 

Hosea talks about the scattered Israelites and says they would be called NOT MY PEOPLE but prophesies that later God would regather them and then they would be called MY PEOPLE again.

 

Hos 1:9 

Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for YE ARE NOT MY PEOPLE, and I will not be your God.

 

**Hosea says the number of the children OF ISRAEL will be as the ‘sands of the sea’ but God will call a ‘remnant’ out of them.

Hos 1:10 

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, YE ARE NOT MY PEOPLE, there it shall be said unto them, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.

 

Hos 1:11 

Then shall the children of Judah (southern tribes) and the children of Israel (northern tribes) be GATHERED TOGETHER, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

 

Now, knowing this verse in Hosea about Judah and Israel being scattered and ‘cut off’ by breaking the Mosaic Covenant but reconciled and ‘regathered’ later.

 

In Romans 9:24-29, Paul brings it up! Notice the question mark at the end of ‘gentile’ in 

 

Rom 9:24: 

“whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?”

 

Paul then quotes Hosea 1:9 to define the ‘gentile’ narrative:

 

 25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them MY PEOPLE who are NOT MY PEOPLE;

and I will call her ‘MY LOVED ONE’ who is NOT MY LOVED ONE,”

 

26 and, “In the very place where it was said to them,*‘YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,’* 

there they will be called ‘CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.’ ”

 

Paul is telling his readers in Rome that they are the remnant descendants of the tribes of Israel, the seed of Abraham to whom the promise of the NC Kingdom was to (Rom9:3-5). The ‘called’, the elect ‘remnant’ out of the ‘sands of the sea’. They were the scattered elect (lost sheep) being regathered, reconciled back into the (sheep) fold. (the sheep from another fold)

 

***Here, Peter quotes the same verse!

.

1Pet 2:10 Which in time past were *NOT A PEOPLE*, but are now *THE PEOPLE OF GOD*: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

 

***Peter is writing to the same audience as Paul.

 

The NOT MY PEOPLE were SCATTERED ISRAELITES who had been ‘cut off’ by the curse of the Mosaic Law for their ‘uncircumcision’ and idolatry.

 

They were transgressing (breaking) the Mosaic Law due to their ‘uncircumcision’ and were called *NOT MY PEOPLE*.

 

Yeshua then fulfilled that Law (Gal.4) so that they could be regathered into a New Covenant (Heb8:8) and then be called the *children of the living God*. (This was the ‘manifestation of the sons of God’)

 

 

 

Romans 11:5-7 

Even so then, at THIS PRESENT TIME there is A REMNANT according to THE ELECTION of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. 7What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but THE ELECT have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

**According to this passage when would a remnant according to the election of grace be?  PRESENT TIME 1st century.

**What did the elect obtain?  

**Who was blinded?

 

Romans 11:25-28  

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to ISRAEL UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES (NATIONS) has come in. 26 And so ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness FROM JACOB;
27 For this is MY COVENANT WITH THEM,
WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”
28Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning THE ELECTION they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

**Who was blinded? Israel

** Who were the gentiles? The 10 Northern scattered Tribes

**Who is ALL ISRAEL? The elect remnant of the 10 Northern Tribes & 2 Southern Tribes who are saved by The Gospel.

**Who did YHWH covenant with to take away their sins? Israel.
Who was the enemies of the gospel? unelected Jews (Israel).

**Who was Jacob?  The whole house of Israel both northern and southern kingdoms
