Rom 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
Many quote this verse to claim that Jesus will save all Jewish people. The verse even seems to say that. But is that what it really means. Will every Israeli citizen be saved simply because they are Israeli? No. The next verse helps us understand…
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
When will God take away corporate Israel’s sins? When they acknowledge their Messiah, the Deliverer who was promised to “come out of Zion.” Hosea also prophesied of this:
Hosea 5:15 “I [Jesus] will return again to My place [the Third Heaven] Till they acknowledge their offense [repent and trust in Jesus]. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction [the Tribulation] they will earnestly seek Me.”
The Jews who seek Jesus to preserve them will no longer have the ungodliness of Jacob. Remember, God changed Jacob’s name to Israel. From that time on, when God called him Jacob, it was because he was walking according to the flesh. When God called him Israel, he was walking in accordance with God’s covenant with him.
Covenantal Israel
So the “all Israel” that will be saved (Romans 11:26), will be those Jews who have remembered their God, put their faith in His Son, and entered into the covenant relationship (Israel) with Him. They are His people, and they will be saved (delivered) through the Tribulation.
Rom 9:6 …For they are not all Israel [covenantal people], which are of Israel [Israelis by citizenship or heritage]
Let us be prepared, ready, and willing to tell a lost and dying world of the love that Jesus has for them, the forgiveness and grace He offers to them, and the hope they can have in Him alone.

Do You Know Jesus?
The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).
If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
