The Fullness Of The Gentiles

What Is The Fullness of the Gentiles"?

This is a short essay and a very brief study blazing a path to catalyze further study hoping we can collectively share and gain knowledge of the Truth in the Scriptures.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’ĕl, until the completeness of the gentiles1 has come in.
Footnote: 1 Gen. 48:19.
(Rom 11:25 The Scriptures 1998+)

But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also becomes a people, and he also is great. And yet, his younger brother is greater than he, and his seed is to become the completeness of the nations.”
(Gen 48:19 The Scriptures 1998+)

Who Are The Gentiles?

The King James Bible describes Noah's son Japheth as father of the "gentiles" or "nations", (Genesis 10:5).

Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries, define "gentile" as a non-Jewish, and by implication pagan, or heathen.

It could also mean "heathen, nation", and these are other nations other than the Jewish nation.
