How are the Jews getting ready for Romans 11:26?
The Jewish people are being regathered to their ancient homeland from every nation under heaven in our generation. Although they remain in spiritual blindness and have far to go before experiencing their King and kingdom, this return is preparing them for the fulfillment of Romans 11:26.
Les explains that God is not through with the nation of Israel. They have been blinded and broken off from the roots of Abraham, experiencing 1,900 and some years of spiritual national blindness, but God has not lost track of them and knows where every one is. In our generation, the Jew is coming back to his homeland from every nation under heaven. They still have a long way to go before the realities of their king and kingdom, but their regathering is getting them ready for Romans 11:26, after the fullness of the Gentiles came in and is out of the way.
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:
More Questions
Does Romans 11:26 mean every individual Jew will be saved?
Les qualifies Romans 11's 'all Israel shall be saved' by pointing to Zechariah 13, which shows that the saved remnant is only one-third, not every individual Jew.
Why does Les use Zechariah 13:8-9 to explain Romans 11:26?
Zechariah 13:8-9 is why Les is sure 'All Israel' in Romans speaks to a remnant and connects back to Romans 11:26.
Does Romans 11 prove God is not finished with Israel?
Anyone who maintains that God is through with the Jew and that there is no more fulfilling of Old Testament promises would have to tear Romans 11 out of the Bible, because the chapter declares that God is not through with Israel and will yet fulfill all the promises made to Abraham.
