Romans 11:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The first part of this verse is treated of, Romans 11:13, &c; the latter, How much more their fulness, (that is, their full conversion,) Romans 11:23, &c.

So many prophecies refer to this grand event, that it is surprising any Christian can doubt of it. And these are greatly confirmed by the wonderful preservation of the Jews as a distinct people to this day.

And this will be a means of swiftly propagating the gospel among Mahometans and Pagans; who would probably have received it long ago, had they conversed only with real Christians.
