3
Lord, they have killed Your prophets, torn down Your altars; and I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life!
Romans 11:3 In-Context
1
I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2
God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
3
“Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me” ?
4
And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5
So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
