YES, in verse 15 you did GOOD, according to the WORD, except you need to drop the 'great tribulation' from all of Romans 11.
The 'Great Tribulation' for the Jews is Day of Jacob's trouble (DoJT)
Your condescension is a little offputting, I gotta say...there juuust might be a few things you can learn here as well lol.
Your Post 2423 - you added "great tribulation" to Scripture = Romans ch 11
So please, maybe correct that - amen.
The "casting away" is #1 "what you sow you reap" judgment upon the Jews - SEE Acts = Stephen, Peter
but more importantly - it is temporary = HALLELUJAH
"reconciliation of the world" = you do not know what this means???
Note that your original disagreement with my post was regarding
TIME. You said "the time of the gentiles is NOT the church age". My reply was to specifically point out TIMEFRAMES as it relates to Paul's message in Romans 11.
We've been currently living through what scholars call "the church age", that is, the historic time
from Pentecost to the rapture when the gospel has spread to the gentiles...
so the last 2000 years.
Luke 21:24 and
Matthew 24:21 both explain that a TIME of great tribulation was prophesied to fall on the Jews
after the destruction of their city, specifically in fulfillment of the vengeance written in scripture for rejecting the One who The Almighty would send that they had to listen to. This destruction happened in 70 AD, which means what followed in history was the great tribulation of the jews as documented (from their exile through to the holocaust, persecution and mockery).
Luke 21:20-24
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Messiah prophesies:
1) Jerusalem's destruction
2) This destruction is the prophesied wrath written in the OT for the ISRAELITES, not for anyone else (i.e. "this people").
3) The Israelites will be killed, will be scattered into all nations, and will start "
the time of the gentiles" until their time is finished
Days of vengeance beginning for Jews = time of gentiles beginning for the nations. This is also the time when the gospel was taken to the nations. As Romans 11 says,
through their fall salvation goes to the gentiles. It also says Israel's fall BE the riches of the nations. When did the Jews fall begin? In 70 AD with the destruction of their temple and city. Throughout the timeframe of the church age, as the gospel spread through the gentile nations, the Jews suffered rejection and persecution.
Matthew 24:15-22
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.
19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Notice, verses 15-22 are warning those in the land about the great tribulation that will fall. Most Gentile believers don't honor the sabbath nor live in Jerusalem, so this is specifically addressing Israelites. Luke 21 and Matthew 24 are the same prophecies concerning the judgment that was to fall on the Judean Israelites living in the land, precipitated by their rejection of the Messiah in violation of the instructions given by Almighty in the OT.
If these days of distress continued upon them none of them would have been saved...but for the sake of the elect, those days of distress were cut short. Who is the elect? Romans 11 explains who the elect is.
Romans 11:1-7
11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
The elect is the fleshy remnant of Israel who believes the Messiah. They are spared the judgment that was to fall upon the Jews. These escape the wrath.

The Almighty wastes no situation. The same gentiles that were the instrument of His wrath upon the Jews for rejecting and killing His Son are the same ones who received riches and the opportunity for salvation during the Jews' time of tribulation. Once this time - the time of the gentiles; the church age - comes to an end (pretty soon) the Jews elected to return will be regathered along with the gentile believers in Messiah, which will coincide with the resurrection of the dead in Christ equalling "all Israel".
