The Deliverer from Zion: The Source(s) and Function of Paul's Citation in Romans 11:26-27

The Deliverer from Zion: The Source(s) and Function of Paul's Citation in Romans 11:26-27

  • Technical
  • Christopher R. Bruno

This article concerns itself with Romans 11:26-27. It is argued here that Paul’s Old Testament citation in this passage includes Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah 27:9, Isaiah 59:20-21. The article argues that for Paul, the first advent of Christ inaugurates the fulfillment of these promises from Isaiah. The salvation of "all Israel" is not an exclusively future reality. The blessing of the Gentiles accompanies these prophecies. Paul expects that Gentile inclusion is part of the fulfillment of the promises to Israel. The implications are that the position arguing that "all Israel" in v. 26 is a reference to the future salvation of Israel is untenable.
