In Romans 11, Paul is writing to the Gentile church in Rome regarding an apparent carnal minded "air of superiority" they were feeling among themselves over Israel and the Jews, who they thought God rejected in favor of the Gentiles [a belief that still prevails among some professing Christians today].
He explained to them that Israel was spiritually blinded "temporarily" in order that the door to salvation might be opened to "all the families of the earth" [Gentiles] as God promised Abraham [Gen.12:3].
God the Father is calling a certain number of Children in this present dispensation of time to know and understand His Truth, who shall co-rule the Kingdom of God with Jesus Christ when He establishes it on earth. Some of these are called out from the Gentile nations, where, in Christ, no one is Jew or Gentile... but are the Children of Faithful Abraham... obedient to God's Commandments and Faithful to Christ.
"There is neither Jew nor Greek [Gentile], there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal.3:28-29)
"...they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." (verse 7)
Within the plan of God... a certain number of God's "elect" are predestined to be called out from among the "Gentile nations." It is this predetermined number of "Gentile elect" to whom Paul is referring, when he mentions the "fulness of the Gentiles."
That is... the total number of Gentile leaders the Father has in mind who will co-rule with Christ in His Kingdom.
"...judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom..." (Dan.7:22).
Speaking about Israel to the Roman church, Paul says: "...Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall SALVATION IS COME UNTO THE GENTILES, for to provoke them to jealousy... For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am apostle of the Gentiles..." (Rom.11:11-13 NIV).
Paul compares Israel to the natural vine with all its branches. Many of Israel's branches were cut off... and Gentiles [unnatural branches] were being "grafted" into the tree.
"...If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive Root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the Root, but the Root supports you.
"You will say then, 'Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.' Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
"For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either.
"Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness for those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
"I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until THE FULL NUMBER OF THE GENTILES HAS COME IN." (Rom.11:17-25 NIV)
When the "full number" of Children that the Father has in mind to become the "kings and priests" who will co-rule the Kingdom with Christ has been reached... He will send His Son back to the earth to establish the Kingdom on the earth.
"...and we shall reign on the earth." (Rev.5:10)
And the "full number of the Gentiles" the Father has in mind will be among them.
Together with Christ... God's saints will then begin to teach all the nations God's ways for a thousand years.
"...to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron..." (Rev.2:26-27).
"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection... they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (Rev.20:6)
