When you read " And so all Israel will be saved", what do you think " SO" means? Does it mean like " And yeah all Israel"?....." And surely all Israel?.You are simply denying the Bible Scripture as written, and instead trying to create your own doctrines on this matter.
When Paul referred to those whom God did foreknow, he was specifically talking about his brethren the Jews who have been spiritually blinded.
The Greek dictionary of the Bible explains what "SO" means:
Greek: οὕτω
Transliteration: houtō
Pronunciation: hoo'-to
Definition: Or before a vowel οὕτως houtōs hoo'-toce .
From G3778; in this way (referring to what precedes or follows): - after that after (in) this manner as even (so) for all that like (-wise) no more on this fashion (-wise) so (in like manner) thus what.
KJV Usage: so (164x), thus (17x), even so (9x), on this wise (6x), likewise (4x), after this manner (3x), misc (10x).
Occurs: 213
In verses: 206
" IN THIS WAY", or " IN THIS MANNER ", referring to what PRECEDES OR FOLLOWS.....
Well in what way then will all Israel be saved? If you read all of Romans 11 ( as well as other chapters, especially 9), what does God say?
A REMNANT. .... THE ELECT ( chosen).
Romans 9:6-8:
But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all those of Israel are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your descendants shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but it is the children of the promise that are regarded as descendants.
" SO" the children of the promise are counted for the seed. That is NOT " all Israel".
