Romans11:30
For as ye. You who were Gentiles.
In times past. Before the gospel was preached. This refers to the former idolatrous and sinful state of the heathen world. Comp. Eph 2:2; Acts 14:16.
Have not believed God. Or have not obeyed God. This was the character of all the heathen nations.
Yet have now obtained mercy. Have been pardoned and admitted to the favour of God.
Through their unbelief. By means of the unbelief and rejection of the Jews. Rom 11:11.
(d) "Times past have not" Eph 2:2 (1) "believed" or, "obeyed"
