King James Version
25 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.
26 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:
Do you know that the SALVATION of Jews and Gentiles are linked?
The Bible says,"blindness in part" happened to Israel, UNTIL "the fulness of the Gentiles be come in".
But what does "fulness" mean?

Who decides on the "fulness" or the "right number" of Gentiles to have come to GOD, that all Israel may finally be saved?
Everything comes from His authority.
Romans 13:1
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
Of course, foolhardy Gentiles who don't wish Israel saved, can very well remark, "Why should I be saved? Why should I come to JESUS? Then, that only means, Israel's blindness will be lifted. Won't happen."
Really?
Then it's time for you to know the MYSTERY of SALVATION.
There is no denying GOD His authority.
It's time we all knew that now.
It's also time to know, GOD loves us all.
Jew, or Gentile.
