Romans 11:27

"and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob."

Key Reflection

This passage suggests that salvation for the nation of Israel will occur through the coming of a Deliverer, who will bring about spiritual renewal. The Deliverer, likely referring to Jesus Christ, will address the ungodliness and restore faith among the people of Israel, leading to their collective salvation.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 27. For this is my covenant, etc. This expression is found immediately following the other in Isa 59:21. But the apostle connects with it a part of another promise taken from Jer 31:33,34; or rather he abridges that promise, and expresses its substance, by adding, "when I shall take away their sins." It is clear that he intended to express the general sense of the promises, as they were well known to the Jews, and it was a point concerning which he did not need to argue or reason with them, that God had made a covenant with them, and intended to restore them if they were cast off, and should then repent and turn to him. The time and manner in which this shah be, is not revealed.
