When will the rapture take place according to Romans 11:25?
According to Romans 11:25, the rapture takes place when the fullness or completion of the Gentiles is brought in—when the last person is brought into the Body of Christ. It is not a specific day, hour, month, or year, and the exact time is unknown.
Les explains that Romans 11:25 is the passage he really wanted to reach, and he identifies it as the time the rapture will take place. He says it is not a day or an hour, not a month or a year, but occurs when that last cell or last person is brought into the Body of Christ. The mystery or secret is that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness or completion of the Gentiles is brought in. He adds that the exact time is unknown, though he thinks it is getting close.
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.
