Listen up, recruits! This is Romans 9! This chapter is about God's plan for the Jewish people. God chose the Jewish people to be his chosen people, and he has a special plan for them. God's plan is that the Jews will be a light to the world, and the gentiles will be saved through the Jews. Despite this plan, the Jews have rejected and disobeyed God, so God has turned away from them temporarily. However, God still has a plan of salvation for the Jews, so they can be reconciled to God and receive his blessings. So, bottom line: God chose the Jews, but they have rejected him. But, God still has a plan of salvation for them. Got it?
