Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in - KJV
Rom 11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be wise within yourselves, that hardness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the nations comes in; - LITV

Rom 11:25 My friends, I don't want you Gentiles to be too proud of yourselves. So I will explain the mystery of what has happened to the people of Israel. Some of them have become stubborn, and they will stay like that until the complete number of you Gentiles has come in. - CEV
Rom11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, - NIV

It appears to me that based on the context and from the language used in the verse above (quoted from many translations) the fullness of the gentiles coming in is still a future event. Not only does the context suggest this, some translations even say full number of gentiles. So it would be hard to say that it means anything other then what the plain and simple text indicates.

From G4137; repletion or completion, that is, (subjectively) what fills (as contents, supplement, copiousness, multitude), or (objectively) what is filled (as container, performance, period): - which is put in to fill up, piece that filled up, fulfilling, full, fulness.
I don’t see anything in the definition of fullness from Strong’s that indicates the word means anything more then the context suggest and that is it still is in our future and won’t occur until the last person to be saved on this earth is saved.
If it was about the church receiving the full blessings being poured out on it as many claim, wouldn’t that have occurred when Christ rebuilt the temple in 3 days? Or, maybe at the latest Pentecost? So why was Paul writing about it as a future event years after these events? Simple the fullness doesn’t come in until the last person on this earth that is going to be born again is born again, Obviously the fullness of the gentiles has not come in or there would no longer be gentiles coming to the Lord! So if we accept that we must also accept that some Jews in today’s world are still sovereignly blinded until the fullness of the gentiles comes in.
Can anyone who believes the fullness of the Gentiles came in during the first century give a Scripturally sound explanation proving that it occurred in the first century?
