Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:12

_ _ Now if the fall of them — “But if their trespass,” or “false step”

_ _ be the riches of the — Gentile

_ _ world — as being the occasion of their accession to Christ.

_ _ and the diminishing of them — that is, the reduction of the true Israel to so small a remnant.

_ _ the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness! — that is, their full recovery (see on Romans 11:26); that is, “If an event so untoward as Israel’s fall was the occasion of such unspeakable good to the Gentile world, of how much greater good may we expect an event so blessed as their full recovery to be productive?”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:12

The first part of this verse is treated of, Romans 11:13, &c; the latter, How much more their fulness, (that is, their full conversion,) Romans 11:23, &c.

So many prophecies refer to this grand event, that it is surprising any Christian can doubt of it. And these are greatly confirmed by the wonderful preservation of the Jews as a distinct people to this day. When it is accomplished, it will be so strong a demonstration, both of the Old and New Testament revelation, as will doubtless convince many thousand Deists, in countries nominally Christian; of whom there will, of course, be increasing multitudes among merely nominal Christians. And this will be a means of swiftly propagating the gospel among Mahometans and Pagans; who would probably have received it long ago, had they conversed only with real Christians.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:12

Now if the fall of them [be] the (k) riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their (l) fulness?

(k) By "riches" he means the knowledge of the Gospel to everlasting life: and by the "world", all nations dispersed throughout the whole world.

(l) Of the Jews, when the whole nation without exception will come to Christ.
