GOD HAS NOT REPUDIATED HIS PEOPLE, whom he chose in advance. Or don't you know what the Tanakh (Torah) says about Eliyahu? He pleads with God against Israel, "Adonai, they have killed your prophets and torn down your alters, and I'm the only one left, and now they want to kill me too! But what is God's answer to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not knelt down to Ba'al." It's the same way in the present age: there is a remnant, chosen by grace. Romans 11:2-5 quoting 1Kings 19:10, 14, 18
What follows is that Israel has not attained the goal for which she is striving. The ones chosen have attained it, but the rest have been made stone like, just as the Tanakh says,
"God has given them a spirit of dullness— eyes that do not see
and ears that do not hear,
right down to the present day." Romans 11:7-10 quoting Deuteronomy 29:3(4), Isaiah 29:10
"In that case, I say, isn't it that they have stumbled with the result that they have permanently fallen away? Heaven forbid! Quite the contrary, it is by means of their stumbling that the deliverance has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy. Moreover, if their stumbling is bringing riches to the world— that is, if Israel's being placed temporarily in a condition less favored than that of the Gentiles is bringing riches to the latter — how much greater riches will Israel in its fullness bring them! Romans 11:11-12, skipping to
Now if the hallah offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole loaf. And if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you — a wild olive — were grafted in among them and have become equal sharers in the rich root of the olive tree, then don't boast as if you were better than the branches! However, if you do boast, remember that you are not supporting the root, the root is supporting you. So you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." True, but so what. They were broken off because of their lack of trust. However, you keep your place only because of your trust. So don't be arrogant; on the contrary, be terrified! For if God did not spare the natural branches, he certainly won't spare you! So take a good look at God's kindness and his severity: on the one hand, severity to those who fell off; but, on the other hand, God's kindness towards you — provided you maintain yourself in that kindness! Otherwise, you too will be cut off! Moreover, the others, if they do not persist in their lack of trust, will be grafted in; because God is able to graft them back in. For if you were cut out of what is by nature a wild olive tree and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!
For, brothers, I want you to understand this truth which God formerly concealed but has now revealed, so that you don't imagine you know more than you actually do. It is that stoniness, to a degree, has come upon Israel, until the Gentile world enters in its fullness; and that it is in this way that all Israel will be saved. As the Tanakh says,
"Out of Zion will come the Redeemer; he will turn away ungodliness from Ya`akov (Jacob) and this will be my covenant with them, . . .
when I take away their sins."

Jeshua, Son of God, our Messiah, is a Jew of God's chosen people, annointed by God, our Messiah, did not come to start a new religion!!! We were grafted into the one true olive tree, a cultivated Jewish olive tree. Grasp the meaning of that. During Christ's ministry, and after, tens of thousands of Jews trusted the Lord and became, along with all others who trusted. Saved.
Thank you God!! We should be praying for our brothers and sisters. Elohim we are. God is Love.
!!!!!!!
We need to come to fullness.
God is opening eyes and unplugging ears. See. Hear. TRUST IN GOD WE TRUST!!! A Harvest is happening.
