Romans 9 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
This sovereignty is in God's dealing both with Jews and Gentiles.
The rejecting of the Jews, and the taking in the Gentiles, were foretold in the Old Testament. It tends very much to the clearing of a truth, to observe how the Scripture is fulfilled in it. It is a wonder of Divine power and mercy that there are any saved: for even those left to be a seed, if God had dealt with them according to their sins, had perished with the rest. This great truth this Scripture teaches us. Even among the vast number of professing Christians it is to be feared
that only a remnant will be saved. (Ro 9:30-33)
