"All Israel" is difficult to define because Paul doesn't define it or qualify it in any way. I don't think it can mean every single Jew. I think if only a remnant were to be saved Paul would have said "and so a remnant of Israel will be saved"


There are things that have to be taken into consideration.


Israel is an ELECT nation and that is important. Election has nothing to do with whether they do good or evil, the only important thing is that God chose them. Even when they did evil God brought good out of it. It was through their disobedience that salvation came to the Gentiles.


Their rejection of Christ was according to God's predeterminate plan and purpose.


I see the picture of it in the life of Joseph how he was despised by his brethren and cast out and to all intents came to a bloody end so far as Israel was concerned. But he became lord of the gentiles and saviour of the world. Finally after a very long time he was reconciled with his brethren ALL Israel He forgave them saying "you meant it for evil but God meant it for good."


So it is with those considerations in mind we have to weigh up what Paul meant by "all Israel"

Billy you said:"I think if only a remnant were to be saved Paul would have said "and so a remnant of Israel will be saved""

Have you not heard that Jesus is the author of the book and scripture that said that?   Then again maybe you have not heard....
