I do not believe that the "fullness" of the gentiles
means all of the elect among the gentiles that will ever be saved.

If that were the case....

First - every gentile that would ever be saved would have to be saved....

The suddenly Jews by the millions would begin to get saved while
these gentiles stood on the sidelines ,....
perhaps using birth control lest they should have non-elect children
because after all no more gentiles could be saved while
the Jews were finally accepting Christ...

Come on that is just plain silly.

God had to FORCE the fact that Gentile could
be saved down the JEWISH THROAT..

If the Jews had not been hardened and blinded
no one would have bother to go out and preach to them.

The fullness of the gentiles meant that the gospel be
preached throughout the then known world and nothing more.

Fullness of the Gospel...

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.

Alan - here it is in black and white the fulness of the Gentiles being "brought in"

Jesus said concerning this a few verses later...

34 Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass away,
till all these things be accomplished.

Your 'fullness' and your 'blindness' are extending long past the
40 year deadline that Christ put upon His own prophecies.

Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all,
that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
