How long has Israel been blinded spiritually?
According to the transcript, Israel has been in spiritual blindness for the last 1900 some years. The nation as such is blinded, yet Romans 11 declares God is not through with His covenant people Israel, so this blindness does not mean God is through with them.
Les explains that Israel has been in a spiritual blindness for the last 1900 some years, and the nation as such is blinded. He points out that Romans 11 trumpets that God is not through with His covenant people Israel. From Genesis chapter 12, the call of Abram, all the way well into the book of Acts, God dealt predominantly with the Jew only, though there were Gentile exceptions like Jonah, Naaman, Rahab, and Ruth. After Paul is called aside and sent to the Gentiles, he goes first to the Jew, then turns to the Gentiles when they reject him.
