XII Theses on Israel – Thesis 6 | Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer

Thesis 6: We believe that there is the mystery of the hardening in part of Israel for our sake, but that there is also the blindness of the Church for Israel, and a veil over the nations with regard to Israel.

With the Apostle Paul we acknowledge that a ‘hardening in part’ and temporarily has come upon Israel. This will only be the case ‘until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in’ and one day all Israel shall be saved. With great anticipation and fervent prayers we are expecting that glorious future for the people of God.
