The Mystery Of The Fullness Of The Gentiles

[buckskin scout]

Passages in Ezekiel speak of the regathering of the Jews from captivity and coming of Christ and the New Covenant. Especially chapter 37 which speaks of a reunion between Ephraim and Judah.

In fact, what is Ephraim?

Ephraim mixes with the nations

It falls back to Genesis 48:19, behold the MYSTERY...

Genesis 48:19

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

And his father refuseth, and saith, `I have known, my son, I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fulness of the nations;'

Bereshis 48:19

Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

And aviv refused, and said, I know it, beni (my son), I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly achiv hakaton shall be greater than he, and his zera shall become a multitude of Goyim.

Genesis 48:19

Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB)

And his father refused and said, I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of Gentiles.

Genesis 48:19

Darby Translation (DARBY)

But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.

Genesis 48:19

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his [a]descendants shall become a multitude of nations.”

Footnotes:

a. Genesis 48:19 Lit seed

b. Genesis 48:19 Lit fullness

Now look forward Romans 11:25-26

 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
