I know we're still gonna go back to verse 11. I'm not forgetting about it Loved but Esau have I hated So that is the quote where it says as it is written from Malachi that we just read in Malachi 1 3 where he said I'll read it for you again Malachi 1 2 says yet I love Jacob and I hated Esau and laid his mountains and his heritage Waste for the dragons of the wilderness in verse number three. So where he's already talking about the heritage He's talking about the people he's talking about the land He's talking about everything that is that is Esau not just the individual which is ties in perfectly with Genesis 25 with that prophecy and Also is going to of course tie in perfectly with just who are the people of God as Romans 9 is talking about it's the people of the promise. It's the people that were promised of the seed of Abraham and then the the seed of Isaac and of course then Pat carrying on to the seed of Jacob and that God had chosen that line in advance and Now let's go back to verse number 11 keeping this in mind The whole context and all the references of these passages verse number 11 says for the children being not yet born Neither having done any good or evil that the purpose of God according to election might stand Not of works, but of him that calleth then it says it was said unto her the elder shall serve the younger. So what the Calvinist tries to do is make The parenthetical statement just completely stand alone outside of a context of everything else that's being You know that that's there and trying to explain that well God just hated Esau and God just Loved Jacob just for his own reasons just because he wanted to and it says see it was before there was any Good or evil done so it had nothing to do with what they did at all and God just hated one and loved the other One and that's just the way it was well, no We're talking about the people we're talking about the nations We're talking about the seed through which Christ was going to come and he chose one over the other Because he didn't have to choose what you know when it came to Abraham. Well, he already chose it wasn't through Ishmael Right because it was by the seed of promise not by Abraham's own works with the concubine. He actually did it Through promise and then of course with Isaac he had to chill two sons So he chose Jacob and he chose Jacob in advance and he chose Jacob before any good or evil was done But here's the thing. God also knows the future as well You know, it's it's God understands what's going to happen before it happens before it comes to pass And he said it says here that the God the the purpose of God according election might stand not the election of well Jacob is saved and Esau's not But the the purpose of God Choosing where Christ was going to come from. That's what matter It wasn't about an individual salvation, but the Calvinist will try to point to this and try to get you Focused on that being about an individual salvation But in this whole context of Romans 9 in the context of Malachi 1 and in the context of Genesis 25 It's not talking about an individual at all. It's talking about a whole group of people So it's referring to It's referring to entire nation being being chosen entire nation serving another nation. It's talking about Then of course the choosing of the seed that is of promise and that promise transferred from Abraham to Isaac and then from Isaac to Jacob That's who the promises were made to and the promise was ultimately about Christ who was to come
