No it did not. because the complete dispersion of the southern kingdom never occurred until 70 AD How could the regathering start to take place at pentecost. When the complete dispersion was never fulfilled until 70 AD??
Again, I am not sure who tought you this stuff. But it does not make any sense.

They are not all Israel who are Israel (9.6). Thus in Paul's mind all through are TWO Israels. In ch 11 the Jews are not mentioned (you need to study a little more carefully and not be so careless).
'hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles (a necessary part of Israel) has come in, and then ALL Israel (including those Gentiles proselytes) will be saved'.
Here is a description of the progress of the Gospel. Part of Israel is cut off through unbelief, believing Israel is the true Israel, believing Gentiles are part of the true Israel by amalgamation.
As he then says 'the election are the ones who are beloved for the fathers' sakes'.
True believing Israel which is the true Israel.
Why do you people feel you have a right to put words into scripture. Believing Gentiles are not 'a people' they are individual Gentiles who become a part of Israel by proselytization.
LOL I love it. Where does it say that in Rom 11? What it says is that the fullness of the Gentiles (God's elect among the Gentiles) will come in, becoming part of Israel.
True
Where does it say that? You are just inventing it.
That is to totally misunderstand what Paul is saying. It would be unique in the history of the world for ALL of an unbelieving people to be saved. God does not work that way. You live in cloud cuckoo land.
Why should God castigate the Jews for 3000 year and then suddenly choose ONE GENERATION to be saved? Anyone can see it is nonsense.
LOL who were the remnant? They were the Jews who had believed in the Messiah who continued as the true Israel, supplemented by Gentile proselytes. They had to be kept or there would have been no people of God. Your logic is sadly astray

I wonder what the mixed multitude would have answered you that moved out of Egypt with Israel 
Exodus 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle
Maybe they also covered their ears and eyes the day Moses gave Israel the law...

No, They had to do special things to be part of the promise.. The law of moses directed what they as gentiles had to do to be recieved and share in the promises
still were not salvic in nature Jonah helped a whole gentile nation to repent and get saved, yet they did not leave their nation and all go to Israel to be a part of that promise.
There were no Jews in those days. They certainly became Israelites by proselytization. Thus they WERE Israelites.
There are few ethnic Jews today. Very few (if any) can trace their genealogies back. If you think that everyone who is in Israel today who claims to be a Jew is one ethnically you are sadly mistaken. They are Jews by assimilation, not by bloodline. Indeed I suspect that most of us have Jewish blood in our veins. Jews were scattered widely around the world and many did not remain in ghettoes. So if we use your definition almost the whole western world will be saved.

And I am not moving to Israel because I believe I am part of the spiritual Israel
What special things? Be covered by the blood of the lamb on their doorposts? Listen to God's word? (maybe they were modern Christians without Jesus???).
They were part of Israel because they accepted God as their God. Yes they would have had to circumcise etc but they were part of Israel. The Bible do not distinguish between Israel and the moving multitude. They became part of Israel as we do when we accept their/our God YHWH Elohim. Does this make me a Jew? NO but I am part of Israel
