Here it is examined within its larger context of verses 9-22, with a comparison of the prophetic role of Moses held up against the role of diviners and fortunetellers in other regional religious traditions. The role of this scripture for a Jewish understanding of future prophets is highlighted as opposed to any messianic interpretation of the text.

The chapter explores how commentators have treated the third element: what does Paul mean by pointing his readers to the name of the Lord, and what are the implications of his declaration within its literary context and for the readers of the book? It examines how Paul has adapted the prophecy of Joel to proclaim the Gospel based upon the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus Christ. In doing so the chapter tries to account for the resistance to this Gospel among the Jews of Paul's day and the Jews of our own time. Keywords:Gospel; Jews; Lord; Paul; prophecy of Joel; Romans 10:13
