Introduction

Pastor Damien says God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, he writes. "If you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these the natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree? Less you be wise in your own sight"
