This is the climax of Chapters 9 through 11 as Paul points to the end of this age when God will rescue Israel and she will call Jesus her Savior. There is a clock that is ticking when this age will close and Jesus the Messiah will return, but it is not about years and months and days, but about the fullness of salvation of those outside of Israel (the Gentiles/Nations). When that fullness is reached, God will call Israel to Himself by His unprovoked, unmerited mercy, and she will believe upon her Messiah, Jesus. For now, Israel is hardened toward Him, but He will call and save the remnant, and Israel will be saved. For God’s great plan is to consign the faithless to disobedience, so that He can show His great mercy and call them to faith in Jesus, Jew and Gentile alike.
