These verses contain an awful confirmation of what every day's experience continues to prove, that all are not Israel, which are of Israel, Romans 9:6. In every Church, under every ordinance, the same word, the same gospel, how often is it found, that what becomes to some the savour of life unto life, to others, becomes the savour of death unto death! what quickens some, kills others! Hence the Apostle declares himself and his few faithful companions to be in one and the same moment a savour of death and of life. Solemn consideration! Reader! what know you of this immense difference? See Acts 28:23-24; 2 Corinthians 2:15-16.

Isaiah 65:11-12
11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop,c and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
