Fullness of Israel (4) - Blessing to the World

The calling of the Jews will be a major turning point in history, so Christians should be working and praying for their spiritual eyes to be opened. They should be praying for the Jews to be restored to a place of blessing, so blessing will return to the entire world. (Prayer for the military success of the state of Israel will not fulfil this promise.)

The fullness of the Jews will usher in a time of great blessing for the world.
But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring (Rom 11:12)!

This works in two ways:

1. When the season of Jewish desolation comes to an end, Satan’s last legal authority to work on earth will be gone, so he will be easily routed. As Christians bind his authority, so he will be exposed as weak and feeble. The forces of evil will be shut down by the church that has been purified by suffering, so their abilility to do evil will be massively curtailed. With evil defeated, a major obstacle to the kingdom will be gone. The end of the Times of the Gentiles will bring a rapid decline in evil that opens the way of the Kingdom of God.

2. The Fullness of the Jews does not just bring blessing to Israel, it means “life from the dead" for the church (Rom 11:15). The Jews will be back in the team where they belong. The church will no longer be truncated. The Holy Spirit will no longer be constrained by part of the body of Jesus being missing. With his team complete, the Holy Spirit will have a new freedom to work in the world

But if their transgression means riches for the world,
and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,
how much greater riches will their fullness bring (Rom 11:12).

The Fullness of the Jews opens the way for the rapid advance for the Kingdom of God. God will be free to pour out his Spirit and bring his Kingdom to fulfilment.
