For those who believe “all Israel will be saved” in Romans 11:26 refers to physical, blood line descendants of Jacob, how do they understand the word “all”?
In the abolute sense of every single Israelite that has ever lived, including every single Pharisee and Sadducee, as well as Judas Iscariot?
Or “most”, that is, a significant portion of Israelites, with the exception of some “really bad ones”?
Or all Israelites living during the tribulation, that is, only those of Jewish descent taken from a segment of time in history, to the exclusion of Jews who have lived at other times?
Also, what of those who are of mixed blood, for example, 50% Jewish and 50% Spanish, are such ones included in “all Israel?

HOW do you mean this? Philip Williams
OK, racist! Just what do we mean by physical Israel? For Paul and the Jews of his day, the Jews were the circumcision, a religion. Many Jews, even famous rabbis, like Akiba, were proselytes. The Jews knew what they were doing. The Abrahamic Covenant was based on circumcision, not race. Rabbinic Jews agree to this day. Paul says in this same book that Abraham’s children are those who are circumcised inwardly, of the heart. The promises are to the faithful.
So how did you numskulls turn Judaism into a race? That happen with the humanist translators who supposed that Judaism was based on the Hebrew language. They didn’t seem to know that Jews spoke the same languages as Christians because the synagogues had recently gotten Hebrew Torah scrolls from the Karites of Babylon. Though the earliest Christian Zionist appear during the reign of King James, a deeper racism developed from the Hebrew language and the Germans who believed that the Hebrew languages derived from the Arabic language of Yemen. Together these were the inferior Semitic languages due to the inferior soil of these desert Arabs who lacked the ability of the Indo German peoples.
It was these Protestant scholars who turned Jews into a physical race by identifying language with land. Thus racism exploded during the Enlightenment. But ‘bloodline’ is pure Nazi!
Though Jews knew better, many of them especially Messianics proudly adopt their Judaism as a race. The evil of racism was manifest in the Holocaust, but now in Palestine! God will not hold you Zionist unaccountable for what the Palestinians are suffering. You Zionist are much responsible for this mess!

‘bloodline’ is pure Nazi! ??? how does this @highlight corelate to what Michael Chauncey said to Neil Steven Lawrence here: All the Israelites who survive the Great Tribulation and live to see Jesus return in the clouds will be saved when they look on him whom they pierced.
