SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:26
y así todo Israel fuese salvo; como est escrito: Vendr de Sin el Libertador, que quitar de Jacob la impiedad;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 11:26
Verse 26. And so all Israel shall be saved] Shall be brought into the way of salvation, by acknowledging the Messiah; for the word certainly does not mean eternal glory; for no man can conceive that a time will ever come in which every Jew then living, shall be taken to the kingdom of glory. The term saved, as applied to the Israelites in different parts of the Scripture, signifies no more than their being gathered out of the nations of the world, separated to God, and possessed of the high privilege of being his peculiar people. And we know that this is the meaning of the term, by finding it applied to the body of the Israelites when this alone was the sum of their state. See the Preface, page viii, &c. As it is written] The apostle supports what he advances on this head by a quotation from Scripture, which, in the main, is taken from Isa. lix. 20: The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Now this cannot be understood of the manifestation of Christ among the Jews; or of the multitudes which were converted before, at, and for some time after, the day of pentecost; for these times were all past when the apostle wrote this epistle, which was probably about the 57th or 58th year of our Lord; and, as no remarkable conversion of that people has since taken place, therefore the fulfillment of this prophecy is yet to take place. In what manner Christ is to come out of Zion, and in what way or by what means he is to turn away transgression from Jacob, we cannot tell; and to attempt to conjecture, when the time, occasion, means, &c., are all in mystery, would be more than reprehensible.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And so all Israel shall be saved , etc..] Meaning not the mystical spiritual Israel of God, consisting both of Jews and Gentiles, who shall appear to be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation, when all God's elect among the latter are gathered in, which is the sense many give into; but the people of the Jews, the generality of them, the body of that nation, called the fulness of them, ( Romans 11:12), and relates to the latter day, when a nation of them shall be born again at once; when, their number being as the sand of the sea, they shall come up out of the lands where they are dispersed, and appoint them one head, Christ, and great shall be the day of Jezreel; when they as a body, even the far greater part of them that shall be in being, shall return and seek the Lord their God, and David their King; shall acknowledge Jesus to be the true Messiah, and shall look to him, believe on him, and be saved by him from wrath to come.
There is a common saying among them f219 , abh lw[l qlj hl y lary lk , all Israel shall have a part, or portion in the world to come; and in support of this they usually produce the passage in ( Isaiah 60:21): thy people also shall be all righteous: yea, they even go so far as to say f220 , that hell fire will have no power over the transgressors of Israel; fancying, that every individual person of their nation will be saved; though they sometimes except such who deny the resurrection of the dead, and that the law is from heaven, or is an epicure, and he that reads foreign books, or is an enchanter, or pronounces the ineffable name: but the apostle is not to be understood with such a latitude; he refers to the last times, and to a very general conversion of them to the Messiah: as it is written , ( Isaiah 59:20): there shall come out of Zion the Deliverer : the words of the prophet are, and the Redeemer shall come to Zion: by the Redeemer, or Deliverer, words of the same signification, is meant the Messiah, as the Jews f221 themselves own, and apply this passage to him; who is the Goel, or near kinsman of his people, to whom the right of their redemption belongs as man; and who as God was able to effect it, and, as God-man and Mediator, was every way qualified for it, and has obtained it for them: and whereas, in the prophet Isaiah, he is said to come to, and by the apostle, out of Zion, this may be reconciled by observing, that the servile letter l sometimes signifies from, as well as to, when it is put in the room of m ; of which instances may be given, as ( Exodus 16:1 19:1 Numbers 33:38 Ezra 3:8 1 Kings 12:24) compared with ( 2 Chronicles 11:4). Besides, the Messiah was to come out of Zion, as well as to come to it, according to ( Psalm 14:7); so that the apostle fitly expresses the faith and expectation of the old Jewish church in this citation: and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob ; in the prophet it is, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, ( Isaiah 59:20). The apostle follows the translation of the Septuagint, and which is favoured by the Chaldee paraphrase, which runs thus; the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to turn the rebellious ones of the house of Jacob to the law; so that the Jew has no reason to charge the apostle with a perversion of the prophet's words, when they are cited so agreeably to their own Targumist: and the sense of them relates not to what Christ did on the cross, when the iniquities of his people were laid on him, and he bore them, and removed them all in one day from them; but to what he will do to the Jews in the latter day, in consequence thereof; he will convince them of their ungodliness, give them repentance for it and remission of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-32 - Of all judgments, spiritual judgments are the sorest; of these the apostle is here speaking. The restoration of the Jews is, in the cours of things, far less improbable than the call of the Gentiles to be the children of Abraham; and though others now possess these privileges, it will not hinder their being admitted again. By rejecting the gospel and by their indignation at its being preached to the Gentiles, the Jews were become enemies to God; yet they are still to be favoured for the sake of their pious fathers. Though at present they are enemies to the gospel, for their hatred to the Gentiles; yet, when God's time is come, that will no longer exist, and God's love to their fathers wil be remembered. True grace seeks not to confine God's favour. Those wh find mercy themselves, should endeavour that through their mercy other also may obtain mercy. Not that the Jews will be restored to have their priesthood, and temple, and ceremonies again; an end is put to all these; but they are to be brought to believe in Christ, the true becom one sheep-fold with the Gentiles, under Christ the Great Shepherd. The captivities of Israel, their dispersion, and their being shut out from the church, are emblems of the believer's corrections for doing wrong and the continued care of the Lord towards that people, and the fina mercy and blessed restoration intended for them, show the patience an love of God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
26. The deliverer (o ruomenov). The Hebrew is goel redeemer, avenger. The nearest relative of a murdered person, on whom devolved the duty of avenger, was called goel haddam avenger of blood. So the goel was the nearest kinsman of a childless widow, and was required to marry her (Deut. xxv. 5-10). It is the word used by Job in the celebrated passage xix. 25. See, also, Ruth iii. 12, 13; iv. 1-10. 59
Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:26 {And so} (kai houtws). By the complement of the Gentiles stirring up the complement of the Jews (verses #11f.). {All Israel} (pas israel). What does Paul mean? The immediate context (use of pas in contrast with apo merous, plerwma here in contrast with plerwma in verse #12) argues for the Jewish people "as a whole." But the spiritual Israel (both Jews and Gentiles) may be his idea in accord with #9:6 (#Ga 6:16) as the climax of the argument. At any rate we should strive for and pray for the conversion of Jews as a whole. Paul here quotes from #Isa 59:20f.; 27:9. {The Deliverer} (ho ruomenos). Present middle articular participle of ruomai, to rescue, to deliver. See on 1Th 1:10; 2Co 1:10. The Hebrew _Goel_, the Avenger, the Messiah, the Redeemer (#De 25:5-10; Job 19:25; Ru 3:12f.). Paul interprets it of Jesus as Messiah.
