What does Romans chapter 10 deal with?
Romans chapter 10 deals with God’s dealing with Israel in the present. It is one of three parenthetical chapters (9, 10, and 11) in the middle of Romans, where Paul digresses to address the Jew. Chapter 9 covers Israel’s past, chapter 10 the present, and chapter 11 Israel’s future.
Les teaches that Romans 9, 10, and 11 are parenthetical chapters sitting right in the middle of the book of Romans. In this section, Paul suddenly digresses to deal with the Jew. Chapter 9 deals with Israel’s past, chapter 10 deals with God’s dealing with Israel today in the present, and chapter 11 deals with Israel’s future. After these three chapters, the text returns to where it left off in Romans 8 and then moves into chapter 12. This parenthetical section highlights God’s distinct dealings with Israel, which may seem contradictory to His dealings with the church age, but there are vast differences between the two.
