I use to question what times or fullness of the Gentiles would mean, and recently when I do some thought I think it is partly fulfilled. Here I write down what I thought to be true, and maybe it is related to and is part of the fullness of the Gentiles.
To explain about the fullness of the Gentiles, I think I have to find two different nations - Israel and Gentiles. But, instead of finding two biologically different nations, I found one great but divided nation. Or at least we the world are all biologically related again, this time to Israel, not mentioning that we the world are already one family in Adam and Eve.
If we look back into history, we learn that Israel has lost their Northern kingdom to Assyria around the year 740 BC, which is approximately 2754 years back. And they were being carried away to another land, but just to be distributed to all nations.
In the year 597 BCE the kingdom of Judah or Israel Judah was also conquered by Babylon and the people were again deported out of the land.
And there are many other dark events that came to pass, to fulfill prophecies, including the Prophecy of Our Jesus Christ.
There has also been many regional wars around the world, eg/like Mughal Invasion on South-Western Himalayas.
Such events spread Israelis to the world and placed them in position to reach further places and peoples in the world, not counting the remnants in the land.
See mapsofwar -
Though it is a sad thing for Israel and those affected by wars and other unwanted events, the later seemed to be a good one. It made Israel mixed up with the majority of the world if not all, and for the second time make the world biologically related.
The Remnants of Israel in the Promised land too were mixed with the Palestinian and other nations around the land.
Certainly the girls and boys attracted to the eyes of the conquering gentiles/nations or the people where they go get married to them, and that ended up in including the genes of one another in their descendant and make them related or belong to one nation.
And certainly the hardened Israelis ended up converting to the local religions, if not modify their practices with it and become completely mixed, - turning the Gentiles into Israelis.
Thus, the Israelis were well immersed/mixed, as a leaven in bread, with all people of different works.
Maybe that is one of the fulfillments of the fullness of the Gentiles if it carries more than one meaning.
Though there may be Israelis who we consider less mingled with other nations, it is hard to think there are unmingled Israelis and Gentiles anymore.
There is very less chance of the world for not becoming biologically Israelis or one nation, as the process of intermarriage has been on for more than 2800 years.
This verse even adds to the good news, "Hosea 7: 8 Ephraim has allowed himself to get mixed up with the nations. Ephraim is unturned bread baked on a griddle."
So, then, would not the Nazi evil deeds to the Jews, in other word Israelis were just a cruel deeds against ones' own kinsfolk? Would not the modern Palestinian and Israel are all Israelis, and if they chose to be called Gentiles, that already is in all our genes too?
Why on earth should we brothers and sisters hate one another? Why should there be war between one human, one people? Can't we think at least as a human that we all are one species?
Surely if we give ourselves to humanity, we all will come to realize who we are at least as human and love one another.
And then we can easily make one happy world where we the People govern - rule.
Considering that some, if not all of us think there are still few unmixed Gentiles and Israel, they are still kinsfolk because Israel has been well mixed with all People of Nations. And to whom they are mixed with turns out to be a relative to one who is may not be mixed or well mixed.
Who can tell this or that is not mixed or well mixed?
The word, 'Gentile' according to google definition also means nothing different but a good one which is ‘of a family or nation, of the same clan.’ And that truly tells us well that Israel and Gentiles are one family, one nation and the same clan.
That also tells we all are the descendants of or one family in Adam and Eve, and then Noah and his wife, whose name may be Naamah.
