'The prophet Isaiah foretold of Christ, but he also prophesied that there would be people who would not be able to hear and receive the message.  The rejection of Christ by the Jews was part of that prophecy, as well as the grace extended to the gentiles who can hear His word.  God chooses who He will save, but those chosen should not be boastful or have a sense of entitlement.  We cannot know who God choses; our job is to keep trusting and looking to Him. Romans, Isaiah. VF-2430.
