OS_X quipped:
And although all Israel is NOT presently saved (only a remnant, if one believes Romans 11), eventually all Israel WILL be saved (25-26).
That begs the question, which is who or what is the "Israel" that Paul is referring to in verse 26? Does God have a "special" love for the nation of Israel? or does God's love and future belong to spiritual Israel, i.e., those whose father is Abraham by faith in Christ? (Gal 3:29)

I would contend the latter and believe that Lee Iron's has rightly exegeted Rom 11:26 as opposed to those of all camps who think that physical Israel has a special role in God's eschaton.

See the article here: Paul's Theology of Israel's Future, by Lee Irons.

In His Grace,
