Romans 11:12
Compare all
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”

Israel’s Rejection Not Final

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But athrough their fall, to provoke them to bjealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.  
12 Now if their1 fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!  
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as aI am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,  
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and asave some of them.  
15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be abut life from the dead?  
16 For if athe firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.  
17 And if asome of the branches were broken off, band you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and1 fatness of the olive tree,  
18 ado not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Romans 11:12

The first part of this verse is treated of, Romans 11:13, &c; the latter, How much more their fulness, (that is, their full conversion,) Romans 11:23, etc.

So many prophecies refer to this grand event, that it is surprising any Christian can doubt of it. And these are greatly confirmed by the wonderful preservation of the Jews as a distinct people to this day. When it is accomplished, it will be so strong a demonstration, both of the Old and New Testament revelation, as will doubtless convince many thousand Deists, in countries nominally Christian; of whom there will, of course, be increasing multitudes among merely nominal Christians. And this will be a means of swiftly propagating the gospel among Mahometans and Pagans; who would probably have received it long ago, had they conversed only with real Christians.
