Here he adds another argument, to repress the arrogance and insulting of the Gentiles; and it is taken from the hope of the Jews restoration. Though for the present they seem to be in a desperate and forlorn condition, yet the restoring and re-ingrafting of them into the church is not impossible. The great obstacle is their unbelief, which God is able to remove. The same God that rejected them is able to restore them; to him all things are possible, he can cause dead and dry bones to live. An argument from the power of God (and that in the very words of this text) is frequently made use of in Scripture, to excite hope and assurance. Romans 4:21, Romans 14:4 2 Corinthians 9:8 2 Timothy 1:12 Hebrews 2:18, Hebrews 11:19.
