Romans 11:26a (ESV) states:
“And in this way all Israel will be saved…”
Many take this to mean that someday the nation of Israel (meaning either, all the physical descendants of Jacob or all the elect within ethnic Israel) is destined to be saved. Others feel that the expression “all Israel” refers, not to “Israel after the flesh” (1 Corinthians 10:18) but to the Church as “the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16) composed of Jews and Gentiles alike.
Other views appear to fall somewhere between those two positions.
Is there anything in the text to support one view above another (e.g. is the expression “all Israel” referring to a physical or spiritual nation)?
