<p>11:26 <em>And so all Israel shall be saved. Even as it is written: There shall come out of Zion the deliverer, and he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob</em>- &quot;All Israel&quot; refers to the full number of &quot;Israel&quot;; I suggested on :25 that Paul understands &quot;Israel&quot; as the specific number of the redeemed. This number, &quot;Israel&quot; in full number (:25), will be made up by the conversion of ethnic Israelites at the Lord's coming.</p><p>The Lord will come to those who have turned from ungodliness in Jacob, the latter day remnant who repent (Is. 59:20); although Paul's citation of this is deliberately altered to teach the truth that the <em>majority</em> of Israel will not turn before He comes. To them He will come and turn ungodliness away from them (Rom. 11:26).</p><p>In the final conflict between Israel and her enemies, God's confirmation of men will be clearly seen. The Gentile nations will be gathered to make the final invasion by the Lord's evil spirits confirming their evil spirit, whilst the repentant remnant of Israel will be confirmed in their regrets by having &quot;the spirit of grace and supplications&quot; poured on them (Zech. 12:10), i.e. a desire and ability to powerfully supplicate the Father for forgiveness. If men wish to turn from their sins, God will turn them. Thus &quot;the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob&quot; (Is. 59:20) is changed by the Spirit into: &quot;There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob&quot; (Rom. 11:26). Those who turn from sin are turned from sin by the Lord. The blessing promised to Abraham was not only forgiveness of sins, but that the Lord Jesus would <em>turn away</em> Abraham's seed from their iniquities (Acts 3:26). Yet we only become Abraham's seed by repentance and baptism. Our repentance and desire not to sin is therefore confirmed after our baptism.</p><p>Be aware that many NT passages mix a number of OT passages in one 'quotation'; e.g. &quot;The deliverer will come from Zion&quot; (Rom. 11:26) is a conflated quotation of Ps. 14:7; 53:6 and Is. 59:20. See on Heb. 13:5.</p>
