Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
English “promises” emboldened in Romans 9:4 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1860 epangelia from a compound of Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition and Greek masculine noun 32 angelos which was correctly translated 179 times into English “angel” in this context being the angel of God a.k.a. the spirit of God. Greek feminine noun 1860 epangelia was translated into English “promise” in Luke 24:49-53 Acts 1:4-Acts 2:47 Galatians 3:14-29 and Ephesians 1:13 confirming that the “promise” is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit. Galatians 3:22 confirms that the “promise” of God’s Holy Spirit is “by faith of Jesus Christ”. Hebrews 10:36 confirms that the “promise” of God’s Holy Spirit is predicated upon doing the will of God, defined in previous posts, “after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise”. Greek feminine noun 1860 epangelia was translated into “promise” in 2Peter 3:8-10 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”.
