In Romans 9:4-12, the apostle Paul says many of the physical descendants of Abraham will not obtain the promises of the Gospel while many Gentiles will. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches two Israels: the children of flesh vs. the children of promise; the purpose of election: the works of man vs. the call of God; and the electing love of God: Jacob vs. Esau.
“But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel… but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.”
