God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
11:3
대기
"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
11:4
대기
But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
11:5

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
11:6
대기
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
11:7
대기
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
11:8
대기
According as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."
11:9
대기
David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, A stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
11:10
대기
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."
