In our study of Romans last time we started on Rom 9:25; where we saw that the Greek text begins with a comparative particle "hos" (as), that continues with a previous statement or idea. " Then the conjunction "kai" (and or also) with "en ho Osee" (in the Hosea) followed by the present active indicative of the verb "lego" (he says or communicates)."
"Lego" (he says) is in the durative present tense so it describes something that started in the past and continues into the present time. The active voice: God (from verse 22) produces the action of the verb through the prophet Hosea.
The indicative mood is declarative for the absolute truth of doctrinal reality from God's written canon of scripture in the TANACH.
Paul references the last half of the verse in Hosea 2:23; "And I will say to those who are not my people (the Gentiles), you are my people..." In other words, this prophecy describes a future time in history when God's client nation would be comprised of Gentiles not Jews.
A time when the Jews will no longer have the privilege and the opportunity of presenting the gospel, of enjoying the freedom that comes from the Divine Establishment principles enshrined in the Mosaic Law, the teaching doctrine to believers, and of fulfilling their evangelistic missionary function to the nations.
The time is coming when the priest nation function will be turned over to the Gentiles. "... and they will say, You are my God." Paul quotes this part from Hosea 2:23; but He does not quote the phrases before or after.
The first part: "Therefore I sow her for myself in the land" is a Millennial reference so he did not quote it because It is describing the time after the Second Advent when the Jews after Jesus restores them to the land and Israel will again have the privilege of being God's client nation during the Millennium and forever.
The first phrase of the sentence indicates, "I have to restore you because you have been canceled. There is going to come a time when I am going to have to cancel you as a client nation" that would occur after the first advent because of their negative volition to Jesus Christ.
But they will be restored, the times of the Gentiles terminates with the Second Advent described by the second left-out phrase at the end of the verse: "I will love tenderly the one not being loved (from the Hebrew)."
This is a reference to the restoration of Israel at the Second Advent. So on each side of what Paul quotes in Rom 9:25; we have a reference to the Second Advent but at the present time no Jewish nation can be a client nation to God.
One of the most important things a believer needs to understand is what time is it in God's plan.
There will be a Jewish client nation to God in the future when Jesus Christ gathers the scattered believing Jews at the end of the Tribulation and forms a nation after the Second Advent when the Jews have recognized that Jesus Christ was the one who came that they rejected in the first advent,
There are four chapters in Zechariah that describe this. They will look on Him whom they have pierced. These are Jews who believe during the Tribulation that are going into the Millennium as God's client nation.
Hosea 2:23; is a rare prophecy that includes both Jews and Gentiles together. It is Paul's first documentation of salvation for both and it also explains that God will have client nations that are comprised of Gentiles.
In Rom 9:25; the literal Greek translation says, "I will call the not people of me people of me." This starts with the future active indicative of "kaleo" (I will call) that as we have already seen is also used to describe election. It means, "I will elect." It is used in Romans to explain that the first advent is now in the past so it is historical.
Then we have "ton ou laon mou laon mou," that translated literally is, (the not people of me; people of me). The accusative singular definite article "ton" (the) is used here as a demonstrative pronoun.
As a demonstrative pronoun it combines with the relative pronoun to refer to Gentiles so we translate it, "those who are not my people" that in the context of the TANAKH refers to the Gentiles because the Jews were God's people.
The possessive genitive singular from the personal pronoun "ego" (my) describes belonging to God. God's people are those who believe in Jesus Christ at the moment they believe. Gal 3:26;
Rom 9:25; We also have the accusative singular direct object "laon: (people) referring to the Gentiles. In the Hebrew the Jews called the gentiles "goi". In the Greek they used "ethnon" (from ethnos or nations) to describe Gentiles.
Here they are called "laon" (people) because the Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ are also God's people and they are going to function as God's client nation after the Jews are cancelled.
Next we have "kai" (and) " "ho" (the) with the negative "ou" (not) with the prefect passive participle of "agapao" (loved) so we have "not being loved or receiving love." This perfect tense is the intensive perfect that describes something as though it has already happened.
The completed action is refers to the administration of the fifth cycle of discipline on the Jews in Judea in 70 AD because of their rejection of Jesus Christ as their Messiah after God gave them an additional forty years to change their mind or repent about who they thought He was.
But during those forty years, even though they had intensified evangelism, they still rejected Jesus Christ. That resulted in God canceling the Jews and bringing in the times of the Gentiles where God's client nations are not Jewish.
The passive voice: the Jewish nation receives the action of the verb that is negative during the times of the Gentiles. The participle explains the situation during the times of the Gentiles and also explains the reason for the blindness of the Jews.
Then again the perfect passive participle from the verb "agapao" (love) in the passive voice again so it describes being loved or receiving love from God.
The dramatic perfect is the rhetorical use of the intensive perfect that emphasizes the results of God's transfer of client nation function to the Gentiles during the times of the Gentiles
Expanded Translation Rom 9:25;"As he has also communicated in Hosea (Hosea. 2:23), I will call those who are not my people (the Gentiles), my people (client nations are exclusively Gentile nations) and those who have not been loved (Gentiles in the Age of Israel as those who have been loved (during the times of the Gentiles).
In this verse Paul uses an Old Testament quotation to verify the fact of salvation of the Gentiles -- the fact that they would be saved, the fact that there would come a time in history in a different dispensation when only Gentile nations would be client nations to God.
Even though the Jews are at the center of God's plan they are briefly set-aside under divine discipline and God's plan continues to advance through the Gentiles.
Apostasy and reversionism do not hinder God's plan and neither does it hinder God's faithfulness to Israel. The great failure of the Jews is their complete rejection of Jesus Christ at the first advent resulted in the great blot-out that blotted it out of their understanding.
Or possibly a more evil form of blot-out from comes from recognition without acknowledgement because of their arrogance.
God's promises to Israel are not rescinded and God's plan for Israel is not hindered by the great blot-out or by any form of Jewish reversionism or Jewish apostasy or by any form of God's punishment to the Jews.
In every generation there will be a Jewish remnant. This is illustrated by Paul's quotation from Isaiah in Rom 9:27 where he quotes Isa 10:22;
No one's failure can hinder God's plan and no one's sinfulness or apostasy can destroy God's faithfulness. God's character is incorruptible; God's integrity is immutable, God's wisdom is beyond genius so God never fails. 2Tim 2:13;
The Jewish nation of Israel has been set-aside as God's client nation but God's plan advances with Gentile client nations. Individual believers fail but God's faithfulness never fails. God's integrity overcomes human failure.
Rom 9:26; is a quotation from the first chapter of Hosea, verse 10. A literal translation from the Hebrew of verses 9,10: "And the Lord said, name him "Lo-ammi" [Lo = not; am = people; mi = first person singular suffix referring to God, but with the negative: 'not my people) ..." This is a prophecy anticipating the time when the Jews would be set aside.
Today the Jews historically function under the principle of "... for you are not my people, and I am not your God" because they have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ as Messiah.
Yet the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured ..." No matter how many times God eliminates the cancer of the blot out of Jesus' first advent in Israel there is no shortage of Jews remaining on the earth.
The Jews are still here because of God's faithfulness. Not only will there be a remnant but there is a repopulation because satan has never been able to eradicate the Jews.
Anti-Semitism is satan's program to remove the Jews from the earth, and even though satan has tried with all of his power and genius we still have Jews in many places today.
This is God's faithfulness. "... and it shall come to pass, in the place where it was said unto them (referring to Hosea). You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God."
In other words, God may say to certain Jews as the cancer is blotted out, "You are not my people." But there are always those who do believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and recognize Him as the God of Israel the only savior.
They will multiply and exist in every generation and when the Second Advent occurs He will say to them, "You are my people." When the book of Hosea was written "Lo-ammi" specifically referred to the northern kingdom who God sent Hosea to warn. But the apostle Paul uses it to refer to the racial Jews and Israel in general. The principle applies to all of Israel just as it applied in Hosea to a specific part of Israel.
Though the ten tribes of the northern kingdom were to be removed as a client nation to God the promise of God to true Israel - anyone who would believe - would be fulfilled. Even though some of it could not be fulfilled until the Second Advent God keeps His word.
The elapse of time does not hinder God's keeping of His word to true Israel. These are promises that are described in Genesis 15:5; 22:17; 26:4; Jer 33:22; Hosea 1:10.
God's discipline of the ten tribes of the northern kingdom does not abolish or rescind any of God's promises or evangelism to the Jews. So we have the phrase, "in the place where" they were destroyed in the northern kingdom, in that same place they will find blessing.
It refers to the land that was overrun by the Assyrians in BC 721 during the administration of the 5th cycle of discipline. In that same location at the Second Advent of Jesus Christ those who believe in Him, those who are not guilty of intensified negative volition to the Lord Jesus Christ that resulted in the great blot-out, will be called the sons of the living God.
So just as the quotation in Hosea 2:23 documents the salvation of Gentiles in the Old Testament this second quotation from Hosea 1:10; describes the salvation of Jews.
