Acts15:17
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord , who doeth all these things.
In the Prophet, it is remnant of Edom, Amos 9.12. which is here called the residue of men; for as Iacob or Israel shadowed out the Church; so Edom, or Esau (the other Son of Isaac) represented those who were rejected, Rom. 9.13. The Prophet also adds, by way of Explication, all the Heathen ▪ as the Apostle does here, all the Gentiles.
Who shall be mine, or appropriated unto me; also called by his Name, they being called Christians from Christ, whom they believed in.
The calling of the Gentiles was Gods Work, and therefore so far from being excepted against, that it ought to be marvellous in our Eyes.
