JEWS ARE NOW "BELOVED FOR THE SAKE
OF THEIR FOREFATHERS". WHY? (Rom 11:28).

THE REVERSAL (FOR THEIR SAKE) BY GOD'S MERCY.
Speaking physically, one of my procreators was of course my father, now deceased. And his father was the last one of my forefathers. Question: So why are the Jews described as "beloved for the sake of their forefathers"?

The reason for this, is that up until these last days of this present system, natural born Jews have had the opportunity of being created in the spirit "image and likeness" of Almighty God and His Firstborn Son (Gen 1:26), removed. Jehovah has dulled their spiritual sensibilities, as He prophesied. (Rom 11:7,8).

It is because of the rebelliousness of Jews of past generations that "God has shut them all up together in disobedience, that He might (now) show all of them mercy" (Rom 11:32); lifting the "veil" that has caused their partial spiritual "blindness". (2 Cor 3:13 to 4:5).

Because of the rebelliousness handed down by their Jewish forefathers, God knew that such disobedience by the Jews could stumble people of the nations from being created in the spirit "image and likeness" of God and His Son The Christ; thereby stumbling them away from "being transformed into the same likeness as Himself". (2 Cor 3:18 Moffatt). And, as God and His Son are Spirit, that "likeness" is a spiritual one, not a physical one. (John 4:24).

After gathering the full number of the people of the nations (the Gentiles), God has promised that the Jews will have their sins taken away by Him. (Rom 11:27). The mercy of Jehovah is being extended to them because the errors of their forefathers are the cause of Jewish descendants having a "veil" of blunted spirit sensibilities concerning The Christ. So in consideration of these handed-down errors of their forefathers, that have deprived successive generations of Jews of their spirit creation, God is now removing this "veil" of ignorance; extending to them His mercy and love.

"For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this sacred secret, in order for you not to be discreet in your own eyes: that a dulling of sensibilities has happened in part to Israel until the full number of people of the nations has come in, and in this manner all Israel will be saved. Just as it is written: "The deliverer will come out of Zion and turn away unGodly practices from Jacob. And this is the covenant on My part with them, when I take their sins away." True, with reference to the good news they are enemies for your sakes, but with reference to God's choosing they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are not things He will regret. For just as you were once disobedient to God but have now been shown mercy because of their disobedience, so also these now have been disobedient with mercy resulting to you, that they themselves also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut them all up together in disobedience, that He might show all of them mercy." (Rom 11:25-32).
