Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 10:1

1. BRethren, ; my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. .

The Apostle begins this Chapter with another Prolepsis or Rhetorical Insinuation; professing his unfeigned Love of his Nation, and his hearty desire of their Salvation, q. d. as before (e. g.) so now again I declare openly (O ye Christian Iewes my Brethren) that what ever the generality of the Iewes do think of me, as if I hated them, or were their Enemy; yet there is none more passionately and tenderly Affected to them, than I am: and from hence it is, that I do so heartily desire and pray to God, for all that People, that they might be saved.

That they may obtain Eternal Salvation, and escape that Deluge of Wrath and Destruction that hangs over their Heads.
