The Book of Romans, for clearer understanding, may be divided into these 6 topics:
Chapters 1-2… Condemnation……. (both Jews and Gentiles)
Chapters 3-5… Justification……. (imputed righteousness of God for both)
Chapters 6-8… Sanctification…… (imparted through struggle; spirit with flesh)
Chapters 9-11…Prophetic……(the blindness of Israel, the restoration of Israel)
Chapters 12-15…Practical……. (application after previous instruction)
Chapter 16……. Practical and Prophetic (loving application and Mystery)

In Romans 11, we have the Mystery of the blindness of Israel and the Gentile Church, and the final and concluding work of God in the restitution of all things. (Acts 3:21 with Matthew 17:11) It’s God’s Millennial New Covenant and theocratic appointment of restored Israel (both Judah and Ephraim… Ezekiel 37) over the then to be judged Nations which is central to End Time events that is being characterized by Paul in this Chapter. This being the central theme of all the numerous Old Covenant unfulfilled prophecies.

All the writings of the prophets of God are full of statements that directly deal with God’s finishing work with Israel and to that which Paul lightly touches upon here. That being that Israel has yet in its future a final severe judgment unto ‘death with resurrection’ to follow, that time prophesied of is Jacob’s Trouble. (Jeremiah 30 &31, Amos 9, Revelation 12:14-17, Matthew 24:15-22) This death and resurrection of Israel is numbered in days and is forecast to be those specific prophesied days just preceding and accompanying Christ’s Return from Heaven. This is when Jesus shall fulfill all Old and New Testament Scriptures prophetic to Israel’s restoration as a place and people as He restores them also to their lost gifts and callings. This death and resurrection that few modern-day Jews are aware of (and even fewer Christians are aware of) looms on the not-too-distant and approaching horizon.

Well, we might ask; what is the extended prophetic warning lesson to the Gentiles here in this Chapter? It is the New Man leaven of pride which will fully rise that is foreseen. Such a spiritual pride that is as blinding as Israel’s. (Revelation 3:16-17) These End Time Christians, blinded in the darkness of religious pride, who when the faithfully patient First-Fruit offerings of the living overcomers of the New Man (Gentile & Jewish followers of Jesus) are gathered up out from among them, are set before His Tribunal Throne rejoicing in the unseen heavens just above the earth. (Revelation 3:10;12:5 with Revelation 4:2, Psalm 103:19, and Daniel 7:9-10) Then the unprepared, un-ripened, Laodicean-type of believers remain in the field in hope of being ripened and harvested, having been tested in the intense heat of the great Temptation Hour which precedes the great gathering up in the full Harvest towards the end of that appointed 7 year Tribulation period. (Revelation 14:15) It is these lukewarm blind Christian believers who now experience the ‘cutting off’ and are left in the field (Romans 7:22) on the Earth to experience the Great Temptation, which answers also to Jeremiah’s End Time prophecy of Jacob’s Trouble for those then living Jews. The destinies of the two groups of God’s people (prideful Laodicean-like Christians and prideful stubborn Jews) are interwoven.

All the final day energies and resources of these Christians who are left behind, but awakening to their Hebraic roots, are to be called upon. They are now being called upon to fear God and to lovingly lay down their lives for their Jewish brethren. The heat of the sun of testing, great trial, and maturing beats down relentlessly on the tribulation Christian. In that 2000 years ago the Jews were cut off as the enemies of God that Gentiles might be saved, so now the Gentile New Man believers in Christ (who were found asleep, un-watching, and unfaithful when the faithful were rewarded by being caught up and kept from the Temptation Hour) find themselves as the Jews were before them, cut off from the fatness of the Olive tree. Theirs now is the saving sanctifying opportunity in that they might be allies and instruments to save the remnant Jews’ physical lives.

The Land of Israel is to be ran over by the avenging ‘slayer’ (Ezekiel 21:11) and ransacked, and Jews will then be hotly pursued throughout the earth. It is not anti-Semitism on a human prejudice social level that we or Scripture are speaking of, it is much deeper and darker. It’s the demonic forces who are then desperately in full battle.....
