RO 15:21 Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."*
This was written by Paul.
My question:
Who was Paul talking about and where is this written? (what book is paul referring to when he says 'as it is written')
thankyou

"9 [21] The citation from Isaiah 52:15 concerns the Servant of the Lord. According to Isaiah, the Servant is first of all Israel, which was to bring the knowledge of Yahweh to the nations. In Romans 9-11 Paul showed how Israel failed in this mission. Therefore, he himself undertakes almost singlehandedly Israel's responsibility as the Servant and moves as quickly as possible with the gospel through the Roman empire."

It's in Isaiah 52:15.
What is he talking about? Well, it could be one of three things:
1. Since Isaiah was a prophet, perhaps he was prophesying the coming Christ, and saying that many would see Him.
2. He was talking about those who haven't heard the Gospel, and never will.
3. Isaiah was talking about those who died before Jesus was born.

I believe that refers to the one thousand years of peace, when Jesus returns and rules the earth for a thousand years. Those that have never hearrd of him, or choose not to will see him face to face. Those that still deny him after that will be judged for the final time.

Paul wanted to visit the church at Roem, but he delayed his visit cuz he had heard many good reports about the believers there and he knew they were doing well on their own.. It was more important for him to preach in areas that had not heard the good news..

Isa 52:15-53:1
For what they were not told, they will see,
and what they have not heard, they will understand.
