Are all Jews going to be saved according to Romans 11:26?
In biblical Greek (Koine Greek), the word πᾶς (pas), usually translated as “all,” does not always imply absolute, mathematical inclusivity. For example, in Mark 1:5 we read: “And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.” Clearly, history shows that it was not literally all the people of Judea or Jerusalem who were baptized, but rather those who believed. In this case, the word “all” is not all-inclusive.
This nuance also carries significance for prophecy. Scripture teaches that before the Messianic age is established, there will be a separation between the faithful remnant of Israel and those who rebel, just as it is in the Universal Church. Ezekiel 20:38 declares: “I will purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.”
“At other times, πᾶς (pas) is rendered as ‘any’ or ‘whoever,’ showing the breadth and flexibility of its meaning. This underscores the truth that, just as Gentiles, Jews also must come to a saving knowledge of Yeshua in order to enter the Millennial Kingdom and ultimately heaven.”
