The Remnant of Israel
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. Rom 11:10
In the 23rd Psalm, we see the opposite of this table.
Psm. 23:5 “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
David’s table was a blessing and theirs was a curse. They did not have their heart right with God.
1Tim. 6:17-19 “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;” “That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;” “Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”
We see from these three Scriptures that to whom much is given, much is required. This does not mean just wealth of money, but has to do with knowledge of the Bible as well. To know God and His Word and then to sin is much worse than to sin in ignorance.
Because they refused to receive God’s truth (cf. Isa. 6:9-10; John 5:40) their backs will be bent under the weight of guilt and punishment forever.
