Audio commentary on this verse

Note 3 at Rom. 11:26: There are an abundance of Old Testament prophecies that speak of the Jewish nation being restored to its former status both physically and spiritually (see ref. i at this verse). It must be understood that when Paul says "all" Israel shall be saved, that he is using a figure of speech (see note 6 at Mk. 1:5, p. 69). The Jewish nation as a whole will return to God but there will be individual Jews who do not.
