All Israel Shall be Saved: Interpretations of Romans 11

Many different interpretations have been offered regarding the phrase "all Israel shall be saved" in Romans 11. In this episode, we speak about five different interpretations, focusing on the three that are represented in confessionally Reformed and Presbyterian Churches.

This explanation has dramatically helped my understanding of the nuances of this passage. Thank you both so much!

[Ditchdiggerpewsitter]

Gentlemen, thank you for this study. It is helping me as I work through my Preterist view point.

Excellent teaching...It took an incredible study of Romans 9 to bring me to this understanding. I started with a church that taught replacement theology. Very sad, they were filled with alot of hate, especially towards Reformed Theology. Thank you for your incredible channel. God Bless you richly. 🌷

Let the scriptures interpret the scriptures. Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. So the Israel that will be saved can only be the Israel that is currently in covenant with God through faith in Jesus Christ, the remission of sins and the keeping of the commandments of God.

Isnt the new covenant made with Israel?

[godfearer]

May I present a 6th view (Maybe a variation of the 3rd): Israel in v. 25 is referring to the physical descendants. God sovereignly used their rejection of Christ to bring about His work at Calvary and the reconciliation of the world, which they too must accept in order to be reconciled, and become part of true Israel. So, after reading Romans 9 through 11, the whole topic lends to understanding "all Israel" in ch. 11 v. 26 as referring to any Israelites who do not persist in unbelief and are grafted in to Christ with all others who believe, both Jew and Gentile. It's the same way Paul has been saying from the start how God has not rejected them, using himself at that present time as an example of such a remnant. It's how all Israel is to be saved, through faith in Christ. There's no other way. All Israel has to come to Christ to be saved. How many of them there will ever be who do come to Christ is not actually in view.

Led feldick said Jacobs name was changed to Israel after developing faith. Israel is symbolic of the children of faith. Just as the seed of abraham is Jew and gentle in a spiritual sense

[yoshkebenstadapandora]

Fulness of the Gentiles happened long ago in AD70. I agree with Calvin that all Israel refers to all believers, Jew or Gentiles.

QUESTION: If Romans 11:26 says that 'all Israel will be saved, ' and is interpreted as the country currently existing in the middle-east, HOW can Romans 9:27-29 say that only a 'Remnant' will be saved?

[aliciahim]

but one sure thing is that we know that the only way to the Father is through the Son...trusting in Christ as Savior and Lord... So anyone from Israel has to take that step personally... I do not think God has changed His mind about how to come to Him and be saved. Love you guys... The Lord shines brighter and brighter and we do too.

Since Salvation through Christ is available now, why wait?

V 32 the all imprisoned unto sin is the same all that God shows mercy

All Spiritual Israel, not national Israel.

[breadoflife]

The nation of Israel we see today means nothing. Paul was writing in a different time period before old testament Israel was destroyed. Rom 9:8  That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

How long have these videos been coming out?

Thank you for this message. To be an amillennialist is to believe that Satan is bound and there is no demonic activity on the earth today. If that is the case, can you pinpoint the time in the past when Revelation 12 occurred? Blessings in Christ

[Weekend_Washouts]

I had no idea that guy was from Keele's church. I will certainly be praying for them. Another excellent discussion guys.

[granthodges]

Literal Israel in 11:1 is literal Israel in v. 26. All fair exegesis will confirm it; allegorical interpretation will deny; traditional interpretation from Medieval High churches that persecuted Jews for hundreds of years will deny it. All Israel will be saved. The Lord has done this.

[bobwood]

Oh, i think I just figured out your system of theology [at least in a few areas]. It's called hammer to fit and paint to match. Some of it takes a lot of caulk and filler to get a decent looking end product especially with Romans 9-11. "Literal" might be a good word to consider
