So then why did you try to HIDE the remainder of that verse that CONTAINED the EXPLANATION of what the "this mystery" was DESCRIBING? And who is Pau?
I didn't try to hide anything.
I was pointing out that there is a mystery in what Paul is explaining.
And YET .... God concluded them all in unbelief that He might have mercy on all.
What does that have to do with Romans 11?
And not a single member of the norther ten tribes believed?
If you read Romans 11, Paul quotes Elijah. There were 7,000 who did.
However, the millions and millions who did not were scattered amongst the pagan Gentiles, divorced from God, received no mercy from God, and were told they were not a people by God.
Part of the mystery is that these Israelites were promised a new covenant.
By the time the first century came, there were millions of these people who could not be distinguished from a pagan Gentile. (just like Ben Masada said)
When the New Covenant was made, this is how all of Israel was saved, and this is how the fulness of the nations was fulfilled as described in Gen 48:19
Romans 11 has nothing to do with Jews, it's about Israelites who were never Jews.
So the Law of Moses was still in effect until 70 AD? So they were still sacrificing animals in the Temple?
Yep.
Just like when God dwelled in the Ark of the Covenant for 40 years in David's tent, the Israelite priests still performed sacrifices at Moses' tabernacle.
Read Hebrews 8:13
