Bible Commentary

Romans 11:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? The vivid force of this concluding expression is weakened by attempts to define what is exactly meant by it; as, for instance (as some interpret), that the general resurrection will come when the fulness of the Jews as well as the Gentiles has come in.

It is best to leave the grandeur of the conception to be felt rather than explained.
