Subject: Will ALL of Israel be saved? |
Bible Note: Hi HOTH, We know that scripture doesn't teach Universalism and we also should know there's not Two salvations; One for Israel and One for the Gentiles. So, I think we need to understand this text within the analogy of scripture. It must be consistent with the rest of God's Word (John 3:16, etc). I would see Paul's reference to those of "believing Israel". It would seem Paul does not want the Gentiles to have a haughty or superior attitude toward faithless Jews. Despite what John Hagee has promoted, Israel doesn't "get a Pass" because they are Jewish. They too must 'believe on Him whom He has sent' (John 6:29) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
