"Who are the natural branches in 11:24?"

They are the children of the Spirit of God and the faith of Abraham, not the biology of Abraham!

So who then who would be the artificial branches? We know that we are the children of God because of faith in Christ Jesus. We also know that Paul was a Jew by birth and a rejector of Christ until the conversion on the road. Why would Paul infer that the church was given blinders so the fullness of the gentiles could be completed. or

They are the children of the Spirit of God and the faith of Abraham
Is this your definition of OT Saints?
Did God blind those of the faith of Abraham? Remember, the natural branches were cut out because of unbelief. Why would "children of the Spirit of God and the faith of Abraham" be cut off from the root.

I did not begin a study of Romans with the idea that "all Israel shall be saved" was the central theme. You, in your unapparent to this observer, totally obsessive vendetta against the Jews, always read the Scripture trying to disprove that verse.

I find your covenant path to be right on the money. Gal. 3:16.

You have obviously spent a great deal of time on researching Scripture, keep it up Emile. I learn something new and amazing every time I open it.

I'll leave you with this. I just happened on it recently. I Corinthians Chapter 3
