1 | Will all of Israel be saved? | Rom 11:26 | Searcher56 | 6213 | ||
Does this mean every single Jew, or Israel as a national entity? Didn't Judaism on the whole reject Christ and thus refuse God's saving act? How then can "all Israel" be saved? And didn't Jesus, before Paul, say that the kingdom of God would be taken away from the Jewish people and given to a new people (Matt. 21:43)? | ||||||

Steve: Israel NOT rejected Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter. (1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1 ) (2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6). (3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10). (4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25). (5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22 ). (6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24). (7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; (Genesis 15:5,6 ; Galatians 3:29) and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. (See Scofield Genesis 15:18) but Israel as a nation always has it own place, and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God. See "Israel" (Genesis 12:2 ; Romans 11:26 "Kingdom"; Genesis 1:26-28 ; Zechariah 12:8). Bibliography Information Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Jude 1".

The only thing I would disagree with is part 6, regarding Romans 11:23-24. The verse says that "IF" they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in ... their belief is not guaranteed. But praise God for second chances, because if they do begin to believe in the Messiah Jesus, they can and will be grafted in again, much like the Prodigal Son of Luke 15:24 and 32, who was a son of the father, then BECAME "dead" and "lost" (Apollumi, literally "destroyed"), then repented, came to ask forgiveness, and was restored. | ||||||

Romans 11:23,24 "In the future, Israel will repent of unbelief and embrace the Messiah (Zech. 12:10). In the terms of Paul's analogy, God will at that time gladly graft the (believing) Jewish people back into the olive tree of His covenant blessings because it was theirs originally (Rom. 9:4) -- unlike the wild branches (the Gentiles, compare Eph. 2:11,12)" (MacArthur Study Bible). | ||||||
