“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?”
But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring! — The eschatological logic unfolds: if Israel's partial falling (hēttēma, defeat, diminishment) brought immense blessing to the world, how much more will their plērōma (fullness, completion, restoration) yield? This points toward universal restoration.
