Will All Israel be Saved?

Romans 11:25,26 is more of a soteriological explanation than an eschatological forecast.

"And so [not, and then] shall all Israel be saved".

"And so shall all Israel be saved" could mean: not, and then - but in this manner, or according to this scheme, shall all Israel be saved.

1. The Scheme:

Jews and Gentiles both concluded in unbelief. Both able to be shown mercy. Both on the same basis: by grace through faith. Potentially a mutual salvation.

2. When?

"Now". The Gentile by the Jews' hardening; the Jew by the Gentile's mercy.

3. For how long?

For how long may this scheme, where both Jews and Gentiles, side-by-side, mutually benefit from each other, and receive salvation, continue?

"Until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in" - the end of the world.

4. According to this scheme, all Israel may be saved. That is, all the believing ones.

Then Paul quotes a verse from the Prophets which showed that the Gospel would turn ungodliness away from Jacob. The believing remnant is experiencing that!
