What happened in the grafting process described in Romans 11?
In the grafting process, Israel was removed and her branches were broken off, while Gentiledom was placed over the root of father Abraham. Gentiles then had the gospel and opportunity for salvation, but their day is closing because they walked it underfoot; God will soon return to Israel.
Les explains that God is not through with the nation of Israel, which has been set aside for the last 1900 and some years, without temple, priesthood, sacrifice, and homeland until our generation. In the grafting process, Israel was removed and her branches were broken off, and Gentiledom was placed over the root of father Abraham. Gentiles have been under the blessing of having the gospel and the opportunity for salvation, but their day is fast coming to a close because they too have been walking it underfoot. God's grace and patience will one day soon run out, and He will go back and pick up where He left off with Israel.
