QUESTION: "And so all Israel shall be saved" (Romans:11:26). What does this mean...only those Jews alive at the time of the Second Coming? What about Jews who have already died?

RESPONSE: It cannot mean every Jew who ever lived because "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb:9:27). There is no second chance. Those who die rejecting Christ, Jew or Gentile, are lost eternally. Romans:11:26 can only be for Jews alive at the Second Coming who believe when they see Him--and all will.
