So you're saying 'the fulness of the Gentiles be come in' = 'God calling out a people for his name'?
Can you show that synonymy from scripture?
I will try.
Romans 8:23 And not only, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
The calling for his name is to the Jew first and also to the Gentile. This began on the day of firstfruits when your weeks be out. Pentecost. Throughout scripture they are called the remnant. They are called for a purpose that requires salvation. To rule and reign with Christ forever.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
There was a remnant called in the Old Testament also, as in to sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
God gave a bill of divorce to the house of Israel Jer. 3:8 yet in V 14 we see God taking one of a city, two of a family and bringing them to Zion. Judah was just as sinful as stated but God still was married to them for Christ would come from the house of Judah. They had to be in the land for Christ to come.
He came unto his own. How many did Jesus choose from his own?
Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Very early God showed Peter he was going to take some out from the Gentiles. Who did God foreknow who were among the Gentiles.
Acts 15:16 After this.
After what? What is next on the agenda of God? Why is he going do whatever it is, he next does?
Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on earth. What is the biggest hindrance of the will of God being done on the earth in the presence darkness of this world?
Why is the kingdom of God, the gospel?
