We should never come to the conclusion that we have anything coming to us. For it is just as easily taken away as it is given.
"A wise servant shall have rule over a son who causes shame, and shall share in the inheritance among the brothers." Proverbs 17:2, Amplified
Just because one is the son of a father does not mean that he will have free reign in his house. There are those sons who have caused their father's, and therefore their family's, much grief due to a wretched lifestyle. Back in this era, a servant might be placed over a son in order to ensure he was constantly watched over and that same servant might just be thought of as more of a son than the real thing.
This is what happened to us. The chosen people of the Lord turned their backs on Him. This is not to say that we were ever servants of the Jewish people or that we have dominion over them. What I am drawing a conclusion to is that we can now share in the inheritance with the brothers.
