A. You’re referring to Romans 11:11. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

The way gentiles are provoking the Jews to jealousy is by going into the Kingdom ahead of them. It’s another one of those details that makes a pre-trib rapture necessary. Paul made it clear that it was not God’s intention to abandon the Jews, but rather by offering salvation to the gentiles, to make them jealous.
