Romans 11:13-36
The “tree” or Israel consists of those that God calls and remain in the tree as long as the support the root. If a branch is found to have withered, or to not support the root, it is cut off to make room for new branches. The Gentiles are grafted into this tree but should not become arrogant that they have replaced natural born Israelites. In fact, they should be grateful of the opportunity and harrowed of the fact that a branch can be cut off. They are that much more likely to be cut off themselves. Therefore, support the root!
