[1] {righteousness}
Righteousness here, and in the passages which refer to Ro 10.10, means
that righteousness of God which is judicially reckoned to all who believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ; believers are the righteous.

[2] {cast}
That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this
chapter. (1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a
remnant (v.1) (2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (vs 2-6).
(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (vs 7-10). (4)
Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (vs 11-25). (5) Israel
is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (vs.
17-22). (6) They are to be grafted in again (vs 23,24). (7) The
promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved
(vs 25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish
promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the
heavenly seed of Abraham
# Ge 15:5,6 Ga 3:29
and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant

but Israel as a nation always has it own place, and is yet to have its
greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God. See "Israel"

[1] {Remnant}
Remnant, Summary: In the history of Israel, a "remnant" may be
discerned, a spiritual Israel within the national Israel. In
Elijah's time 7,000 had not bowed the knee to Baal
# 1Ki 19:18
In Isaiah's time it was the "very small remnant" for whose sake God
still forbore to destroy the nation
# Isa 1:9
During the captivities the remnant appears in Jews like Ezekiel,
Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Esther, and Mordecai. At the
end of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity it was the remnant which
returned under Ezra and Nehemiah. At the advent of our Lord, John the
Baptist, Simeon, Anna, and "them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem"
# Lu 2:38
were the remnant. During the church-age the remnant is composed of
believing Jews
# Ro 11:4,5
But the chief interest in the remnant is prophetic. During the great
tribulation a remnant out of all Israel will turn to Jesus as Messiah,
and will become His witnesses after the removal of the church
# Re 7:3-8
Some of these will undergo martyrdom
# Re 6:9-11
some will be spared to enter the millennial kingdom
# Zec 12:6-13:9
Many of the Psalms express, prophetically, the joys and sorrows of the
tribulation remnant.

[2] {fullness}
The "fullness of the Gentiles" is the completion of the purpose of
God in this age, viz. the outcalling from among the Gentiles of a
people for Christ's name, "the church which is His body"
# Eph 1:22,23
Cf
# Ac 15:14 Eph 4:11-13 1Co 12:12,13
It must be distinguished from "the times of the Gentiles"

[1] {Jacob}
Summary: Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen
for a fourfold mission: (1) To witness to the unity of God in the
midst of universal idolatry
# De 6:4 Isa 43:10,12
(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God
# De 33:26-29 1Ch 17:20,21 Ps 144:15
(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture
# De 4:5-8 Ro 3:1,2
(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah
# Ge 3:15 12:3 22:18 28:10-14 49:10 2Sa 7:12-16 Isa 7:14 9:6 Mt 1:1
# Ro 1:3
According to the prophets, Israel, regathered from all nations,
restored to her own land and converted, is yet to have her greatest
earthly exaltation and glory.
