The Restoration of Israel
Romans 11:25-36 (One New Man Bible)
11:25. For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, lest you become conceited*, because dulled perception in part has come upon Israel until the fullness of the heathens* would come in* (Luke 21:24)
26. and in this way all Israel will be saved, just as it has been written, "The One Who rescues will come out of Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob, 27. and this is the covenant for them with Me, when I would take away their sins." (Isaiah 59:20-21)
28. On the one hand regarding the gospel they are enemies on account of you, but on the other hand regarding the election they are beloved because of the Fathers: 29. for the gifts and the calling* of God are irrevocable. 30. For just as you yourselves were once disobedient to God, but now you have been shown mercy by their disobedience, 31. then in this way now they have become disobedient, so that also they could now receive mercy themselves because of the mercy shown to you. 32. For God will completely shut up together all those who are in disobedience, so that He could be merciful with them all.
11:33. O the depth of riches and wisdom and knowledge of God: in the same manner His judgments are unfathomable and His Ways are inscrutable,
Paul does not want us to be ignorant of Gods plans for Israel. He's concerned that we would become conceited and dulled in our perception of Israel...perhaps thinking that we are better than they because we have come to know that Yeshua is Messiah and we have come to partake in the mercies of God. He wants us to know that Israels lack of understanding is only temporary and is only that way until the salvation of all the heathen who will hear, hear.
God has called them and he has not gone back on His calling or His gifts to them. We were once disobedient, and now God has shown us mercy because of their disobedience. They have become disobedient, but God will show them mercy because of the mercy He's shown to us. All of us Jew and Gentile have been disobedient and God shows mercy to us both.
* (v.25) Conceited. Literally, "that you were not wise in the power of relying on your own wisdom."
* (v.25) The heathens: Another verse that says this is Gen. 48:19, when Jacob blesses Ephraim, the Hebrew literally speaks of the "fullness of the heathens" (m 'lo hagoyim) which is translated "group of nations" (NIV) or "multitude of nations" (Amp). See Isa. 25:7.
* (v.25) Would come in: The heathens are to join with the Jewish people into one body by means of Messiah Y'shua.
* (v.29) We have multiple gifts, but one calling.

35. "or who has given in advance to Him, so He should repay him?" (Job 41:3)
36. Because all things are from Him and through Him and in Him: to Him be the glory forever, amen.35. "or who has given in advance to Him, so He should repay him?" (Job 41:3)
