Romans Chapter 11 has been a go to passage for many Messianic Teachers to prove that we are grafted into Judah or Israel. Is this really what Rav Shaul is saying in this passage? Are we grafted into the tree of Israel or Judah or does this tree represent something entirely different. If we are willing to accept that at one time our understanding was limited and in need of refinement, we will be better able to understand that Yeshua is busy refining our minds so that we might have His mind in these final days. Hence the call to have eyes to see and ears to hear and to be willing to say that we knew in part but now we see in full.

In this teaching Yosef breaks down the metaphor in Romans 11 and explains the importance of being grafted into the true root.
