Abstract

The author of the article analyzes biblical apostle Paul's discussion of the fate of Israel in the biblical book Romans chapter 11 verses 25-27 and attempts to answer what the incorporation of "the fullness of Gentiles" in Paul's message has to do with "all Israel." The author argues that Israel is a larger entity than the body of ethnic Jews, while "all Israel" refers specifically to the twelve tribes of Israel as a whole.
