         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

27 - And Isaiah cried out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved [sozo - saved, healed, preserved, rescued] 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” {Let’s look at the words, verse 28 - Logos - word, speech, words, message, reasoning - because (to) sunteleó - complete, accomplish, bring to an end - and suntemnó - cut short, shorten - poieó - to make, to do, to act, to cause, to work - LORD upon the Earth.}

     29 And also Isaiah predicted, “If the LORD of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” {Ashes. Awaiting resurrection into GWT judgment/full discernment ‘day’.} 30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who didn’t pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith. 31 But Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness missed the mark in reaching that goal. 32 Why? Because they didn’t pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on {their own} works. They have stumbled over the stone that makes people stumble. 33 Even as it’s written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock that offends. And whoever believes in him will not be confounded nor shamed.”
