I'm not ignoring anything because Paul makes clear the promises are to the believing remnant.
Because there will always only exist a remnant up to the very end. To state otherwise goes against the entirety of the bible.
No, the Jews are blinded right now until the full number of Gentiles come in.
Right, who are blinded at the moment. But they come through the Cross like everyone else. God knows the number but He did not choose who, even though He knows who will come. And they will be back in the land that God promised Abraham unconditionally.
That is something you are reading into the text. Once the mystery of God (the temple of God, the body of Christ) is completed the 7th trumpet will blow and Christ will return. Any believers who are alive on earth at that time will be lifted from the earth to meet Christ and the resurrected ones in the air, while wrath is poured out on the ones remaining on earth..
You're making the assumption that the partial blindness will be removed when the fullness of the gentiles enters, and be replaced with no blindness.
Consider the possibility that it means the partial blindness will exist out of God's mercy to spare a remnant until the end when those who believe will be removed from the earth and all that will be left on earth is total blindness.
Or consider the possibility that when the trumpet blows partial blindness will be removed from all people on earth because they will see with their eyes that Christ is real and their destruction is imminent.
I don't have to consider any of that because it's there and it tells us, the Jews are blinded until the full number of Gentiles come in. The Bible says the Jews will recognize their Messiah and mourn.
Do you really think that no gentiles will be saved after a certain point, but only Jews will? That just nonsensical.
Yes, those remaining on earth will mourn because they will realize what they threw away and because of the wrath of God they know they are about to experience.
That's what you believe it says because you're reading through the dispensational filter.
What it literally says is "a partial hardness has happened to Israel until the fullness of the nations enters ". What it doesn't say is the partial blindness will be removed.
It could mean that once the partial remnant of Israel is saved, the end comes and all others will be lost. You refuse to see this as a possibility, though because it conflicts with your dispensational beliefs
LMNOPXYZ spiritual condition. -ahahaha .. ok
Just shining Light and seeing the insects of the carnal world scramble about their lies and deceits.
In the second temple restoration the people did not just return to the land but to salvation.
In 1948 people invaded and re-named the land but continued to follow religions that have Gentile origin, so by comparison nothing that significant really happened.
The spoken traditions of the elders later written in the Babylonian Talmud are not Jewish, not learned from the prophets of God but from the Babylonian Gentiles.
The Kabbalah has older roots, but is based on the Baal worship of the Gentile Canaanites.
Atheism is predominant in modern Israel, also from the Gentiles not God.
If you think that following these religions is a way of becoming the Jewish apple of God's eye,
It is well worth considering that you are looking in the wrong place to see the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.
Good for you. Keep ignoring the parts of God's word that don't fit your false notions. You are nothing if not consistent.
You ignore the fact that God's plan includes the physical nation of Israel. The book of Revelation makes no sense otherwise.
