Romans 11:25
King James Version
25 For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Why is Israel "blind"?
What makes it temporary?
What has she not acknowledged?
She has not acknowledged her Lord, and Savior -- JESUS CHRIST -- has already come.
On June 2026, she will have a gay "pride" event at the Dead Sea.
Proverbs 16:18
King James Version
18 Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.
That's tantamount to her reviving Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.
Of course, this is Satan's doing -- a total affront to GOD, Who chose this nation for Himself.
But should Israel's enemies look down upon her, for her many errors?
Don't they have enough errors of their own?
What would it take for Israel to wake up?
What has been prophesied?
To better understand, let's see what the phrase -- "until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in".
These Bible versions will help us understand the "key" to Israel's "awakening":

The Message
A Complete Israel
25-29 I want to lay all this out on the table as clearly as I can, friends. This is complicated. It would be easy to misinterpret what’s going on and arrogantly assume that you’re royalty and they’re just rabble, out on their ears for good. But that’s not it at all. This hardness on the part of insider Israel toward God is temporary. Its effect is to open things up to all the outsiders so that we end up with a full house. Before it’s all over, there will be a complete Israel.
Romans 11:25
New Century Version
25 I want you to understand this secret, brothers and sisters, so you will understand that you do not know everything: Part of Israel has been made stubborn, but that will change when many who are not Jews have come to God.
