Romans 11:25-27
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”

The breaking off of the branches, Israel, from God’s family and the grafting in of those from the nations into His tree of eternal life is indeed a mystery at first. We need to see through His mercy and forgiveness in grace with humility to know God’s work. The blindness of God’s disobedient nation is to save from all people as promised to Abraham. But this is to bring back a remnant from God’s original chosen nation when enough of the chosen from all nations is complete. God will then take away the sins in turning Israel from sin to join Him with us. We should not choose to remain ignorant of these things.
