Endings - Delayed?

“And when he had spoken these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.) And he [Paul] stayed two full years in his own rented quarters, and was welcoming all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered.” Acts 28:29-31

“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, ‘The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.’ And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.’” Romans 11:25-27

I heard the most amazing sermon once about why God continues to delay His return. It was based on these two verses and explained that the “fullness of the Gentiles” was still to be realised.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
