Romans 11:26 along with verse 25 & 27 are some of the most twisted in scripture.

Let’s look at this set of scriptures that are taken and twisted by in an effort to ‘prove’ that ‘ALL' of national Israel is going to be saved.

25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Words are important. That’s why you need to pay attention and understand that Paul uses the word “SO” in verse 26 and doesn’t use the word “THEN”---“And SO all Israel shall be saved”. Here is the dictionary definition of “So”—It means: “in the way or manner shown, stated or described”. Paul does NOT use ‘then” which means “at that time”.

Most Christians have been so brainwashed by dispensational delusion that they read into these scriptures something that isn’t even there, they read vs. 26 as if it says that at some future date after all the Gentiles come in to some supposed ‘Gentile church’ THEN ALL Israel shall be saved.

That is exactly NOT what Paul is talking about here!! He is NOT talking about some FUTURE time when all Israel shall be saved. Rather Paul is showing HOW all Israel shall be saved and were even at that time being saved, because ONLY those of “Promise” are counted as ALL Israel!!! Only those who “call on the name of the Lord are saved”(Rm10:13).

When Paul says in verse 26 that “the Deliverer SHALL COME out of Sion” he was quoting an Old Testament prophecy which was future at the time it was written. But when Paul is writing here, Jesus the Deliverer had ALREADY come and had ALREADY ESTABLISHED what God said was “my covenant” and had ALREADY “taken away their sins” at the cross. Paul was Not predicting the coming of some future Deliverer, or Jesus appearing to them at the endtime after the supposed Rapture! He was merely backing up his argument with a scripture that had ALREADY been fulfilled.

All Israel being saved includes both Gentile and national Israel. THINK about it, that is why he started his explanation of who Israel is with the statement: “they are NOT ALL Israel who are OF Israel”.

If we add the dictionary definition of “so” and Paul’s scriptural definition of who Israel is, here is what Paul is saying in Romans 11:26: “ And SO (in the manner that I’ve been showing you throughout this entire epistle, that those who call themselves Israel aren’t necessarily Israel but only those who call on the name of the Lord are) all Israel (such as the Gentile ‘brethren’ of Galatia who were “the Israel of God”) shall be saved” .

“Blindness in PART is happened unto Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.” There is a period after that verse. But it wasn’t big enough to stop the runaway madness of dispensational delusion that rammed it into the next verse in an effort to make Paul say what he was NOT saying!

He was NOT saying that once all the Gentiles that are supposed to get saved, get saved THEN all Israel shall be saved. He was saying, Natural Israel shall be partially blind UNTIL all the Gentiles that are destined for salvation get saved, then national Israel won’t be blind anymore. But guess what?--Neither will anybody else! Because at the coming of Jesus Christ THEN it won’t be by FAITH anymore it will be by SIGHT!

Also, have you ever thought about exactly what the “in” was that the Gentiles were coming into when Paul says “Until the fullness of the Gentile be come IN”?? The Gentiles come IN to the Kingdom of ISRAEL! They are grafted in to the ‘olive tree of the covenants and promises” given to Israel!

SO-called “natural Jews” for clarity, let’s call them NATIONAL Jews/Israel from now on. ‘National Israel’ didn’t have TOTAL blindness then, not only because Paul who called himself “an Israelite, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews” who “profited in the Jews religion”( Phil 3:5&Gal 1:14) was the guy writing this , but also because as the Apostle James said, there were at that time “thousands of Jews which believe”(Ac 21:20) There are still, to this day, ‘national Jews’ being saved.

What Paul is doing here in Romans chapters 9 to11 is explaining to his former-Gentile Roman audience why only a “PART” of Flesh and blood Israel believed. They were wondering: “If this Gospel you’re preaching is true Paul and if Jesus was from the Tribe of Judah as you said (Heb 7:14), and the Old Testament prophecies are all about Jesus as Messiah--- How come most of ‘national Israel’ is not only rejecting the Gospel but also persecuting Christians?--How come most believers are Gentiles and not national Israel?” Paul tells them that it is not because the Gentiles are so spiritual that God has chosen them. It is because God had blinded the eyes of flesh and blood Israel because of their unbelief. Paul is making them realize it’s all by the grace of God so that they don’t get on some puffed-up pride trip thinking God chose them because they were so Holy-roller good. And He is above all NOT setting up some kind of dippidy-do-dah-delusional-dispensational time prophecy for the total salvation of ALL Children of the FLESH of Isaac, ‘national false Israel’, who are NOT Israel! –Get it?

Paul told us the flesh and blood Jews were “enemies of the Gospel”(Rm.11:28)--And he warned us that they would persecute the TRUE Israel. He compared the relationship between True Israel and False Israel to the relationship between Isaac and Ishmael “even as then, he (Ishmael) that was born after the FLESH persecuted him (Isaac) that was born after the SPIRIT, even so is it NOW” (Gal.4:29) Paul was aligning the Anti-Christ flesh and blood Jews of his day to Ishmael who was “born after the Flesh”. That’s a direct echo of Romans 9:8 where he says “They which are the children of the FLESH, these are NOT the CHILDREN OF GOD”! And THESE “CHILDREN OF THE FLESH” didn’t fade away in 70 AD with the destruction of the Temple. And they didn’t fade away in 311AD with the Edict of Toleration. Just as in the parable of the tares and wheat, where both grow together until Harvest, both the false Israel and the true Israel are still here.

Today we find that “Blindness in PART” is STILL happening to FLESH Israel, even so, today we find they are STILL “ENEMIES of the GOSPEL”. So does that mean we are to hate them because they are enemies of Christ and the Gospel? Of course not! Jesus said “Love your Enemies”. But don’t be so STUPID to think that your enemies are your friends. Don’t be so BLIND that you see “wolves in sheep’s clothing as actual sheep”. Wake up!!!—And smell the scriptures! Rip off those dispensational delusionally-colored glasses so you can see the truth of the Word.

Paul’s model of interpreting the Old Testament stories often turned the story on its head. In the Old Testament characters, Ishmael and Isaac and Esau and Jacob/Israel, the national Jews would have looked at themselves as the good guys in the story. They would have seen themselves as Isaac and Jacob. But Paul says, NO. You are the bad guys, and these whom you call ‘Gentile dogs’ are now the children of the promise, children of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob. They are the TRUE Israel and Judah in the eyes of God .

In Galations Paul compares Flesh Israel to Ishmael who is ‘rejected’ and “cast out” and the new formerly Gentile believers to Isaac “the seed of PROMISE”. In Romans chapter nine Paul says “NEITHER because they are the SEED of ABRAHAM are they all CHILDREN but in ISAAC shall thy SEED be CALLED. That is they which are the CHILDREN of the FLESH, THESE are NOT theCHILDREN of GOD”. He compares False Israel to the “seed of the Flesh” or Ishmael and the Believers in Jesus tothe “Seed of Promise” or Isaac ”.

Paul continues in Romans nine by comparing natural Israel to to another child of the FLESH: Esau. “And not ONLY this but Rebecca ALSO conceived by Isaac…ESAU and Jacob”. Esau, even though he was a physical son and heir apparent is rejected and instead Jacob becomes the promised seed. “As it is written Jacob have I Loved by Esau have I hated” (This becomes especially significant in Ezk 38 because ESAU is GOG!)

In summary: Paul takes these Old Testament stories of Ishmael and Isaac and Esau and Jacob and turns them basically upside down showing us that national, so-called Israel is really like Ishmael and Esau and the new former-Gentile believers are like Isaac and Jacob. He calls these former-Gentiles: ‘Jews”; ‘The Circumcision”; “Abrahams Seed”; “Children of the Promise”; and “ the Israel of God”. who were “grafted in to the olive tree of the promises and covenants” that God made to Abraham and the patriarchs. This must have been particularly disturbing for his natural born Jewish listeners. So you can understand why they hounded Paul like wild dogs.
