You made it sound like how many of the current nation.
So when it says all Israel shall be saved, how do you explain that only 1 percent are?
I guess I haven't given you personally my position on this. And quite frankly, I don't know why others don't see it as I do.
The OT Scriptures constantly affirmed the blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience under the Law. If the nation, as a whole, was faithful, then God would bless the nation, give it deliverance from its enemies, and prosper them. If not, then their nation would be destroyed or exiled.
So we are talking here of a very specific kind of "salvation," which evangelicals seem unable to grab hold of--*political salvation,* or *military deliverance.* God acts on behalf of a nation to deliver the people from their enemies, thereby ensuring not just their survival but more, their prosperity. Not just a small piece of the nation would be "saved," but the *whole nation,* in all its parts, would be saved from extinction.
Evangelical Salvation follows Political Salvation. We read in Eze 36 that God sometimes delivers the nation from exile 1st, before bringing them into cleanness, or in a sense, saving them in an evangelical sense.
This is what is happening now, I believe. The nation has been brought back from the dead politically, and the state of Israel has been reborn. But since the people have yet to be cleansed and saved in an evangelical sense, they remain under fire, persecuted, and under judgment. The political salvation is in preparation for a future evangelical salvation.
So presently a very small number of Jews in Israel are getting "saved" in the evangelical sense. But Israel is still on the road to national judgment before God finally saves them for all time. Once he does this, at the coming of Christ, many Jews will be brought into evangelical salvation--not all certainly, but many.
So "all" Israel getting saved has to do with the geography encompassing the *whole nation.* It does not have to do with every individual Jew in Israel getting saved in an evangelical sense.
To give the clearest possible example of what I mean, let me take my current country, the U.S. To say that God will save "all" of the U.S. means that God will deliver from Russia or China or from any of its enemies *all 50 states,* and not just perhaps 25 states. "All" refers to the deliverance from extinction or appropriation all 50 states. This is a political "salvation," and merely preparatory for evangelical salvation.
Paul's focus most certainly was on the evangelical salvation of the Jewish People. But he knew the Prophets had promised both Messianic Salvation for the individual but also Messianic Salvation for the nation. Paul left the question of how many *individual Jews* would get saved up to God. He was concerned to see God bring about the national restoration of Israel so that individuals would have this opportunity.
