Romans 11:2-5 No, God has not disowned His people, on whom He set His heart beforehand. Do you know what the Scripture says in Elijah's case, how he pleaded with God against Israel?

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ² No, God has not disowned His people, on whom He set His heart beforehand. Do you know what the Scripture says in Elijah's case, how he pleaded with God against Israel? ³ "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone have been left, and they are trying to kill me." ⁴ But how did God reply to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have never bent their knees to Baal." ⁵ So it is at the present time; a remnant remains, in accordance with God's unmerited favor.
