Why does God find fault with the Jews, seeing that it is by His will that a hardening
has occurred? Would you condemn to an eternal hell those whom God has prevented from
perceiving the truth? Yahweh has appointed a time when all Israel will be saved, but the
time is not yet. Seeing that Yahweh hardens some, and has mercy on others, how can those
who have received mercy hold any greater desire in their heart than to look for the day when
Yahweh will demonstrate the same mercy to others?

Romans 9:14-18
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says
to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion
on whomever I will have compassion." So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who
runs, but of God who shows mercy. For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very
purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may
be declared in all the earth." Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He
wills He hardens.

None can come to Christ unless the Spirit draws them (John 6:44). Is it right for those
who have been granted mercy to revile those who have not, saying that they are getting what
they deserve? To receive mercy is to obtain that which is undeserved. All men have sinned
and are deserving of death. At this time we see Yahweh demonstrating mercy to some, while
hardening others. This is the situation of all men. We are all born as children of wrath.
Yahweh has shown mercy to some at this time, while hardening others.
A remnant from among men have seen their peril. They have become aware of the
judgment and wrath that awaits the sons of disobedience. Yahweh has opened their eyes to
perceive the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. It is appointed to them to
be among the first to see and believe. Will such ones not desire that the mercy shown them
be made manifest to all men?
Christ has come to deliver men from sin and the penalty of death, but each in his own
order. Some are appointed to be firstborn sons, and others latter born sons. Yahweh does
all things according to His own counsel. He reveals Christ to some, while blinding the eyes
of others.

Romans 11:5-8
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
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. What then? Israel has
not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just
as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and
ears that they should not hear, to this very day."

Romans 10:20
But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made
manifest to those who did not ask for Me."

An hour will come when those whom Yahweh has hardened will be shown
mercy.Those rejected will be accepted. Those dead in their sins will receive life in Christ.
Yahweh sent His Son into the world that all men might be saved.

Isaiah 45:22-23
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.
