What will Israel's fullness bring?

Israel's fullness will bring far greater riches and blessing than their fall and diminishing brought. Since their fall and being set aside became riches for the world and Gentiles, their future fullness—which they have never yet attained—will bring much more. That fullness God has in store for them is coming.

Les explains the contrast: if Israel's fall and diminishing brought riches to the world and the Gentiles, then how much more will their fullness bring. Israel has never attained the fullness God has in store for them, but it is coming. Les warns not to sell the Jew down the river, saying it is coming even though they may go through horrible times. He observes that Israel is already being backed into a corner and frantically trying to make peace. He compares Israel today to Israel at the time of Samuel, when they wanted to be like the nations and demanded a king; Samuel warned of taxes, drafting children, and oppression. Israel's government today is likewise seeking acceptance by the Gentile world.
