What Israel Did Not Obtain.
st, Paul points us to the fact that

as a whole was not sanity and hence,
as a whole. could not be the Redeem

Gifted Him, they as nation were re-
jected from Divine favor for time.
But some of them were Israelites in
deed-some of them received Jesus, be-
came His disciples. and were accepted
of God by the begetting Of the Holy
Spirit, at and after Pentecost, to be
members of the House of Sons-mem-
bers of spiritual Israel
Since then Divine Providence has
been selecting the sanity ones from
every nation under heaven. to com
plete this spiritual Israel. Thus st.
Paul declares again. "If We be Christ's,
then are We Abraham's Seed. and heirs
according to the promise" promise
that all the families of the earth shall
be blessed through this Seed.-Gala.
