"As so all Israel will be saved" - This phrase is only five words in the Greek, but upon it have been built multiple theories about Israel. I have been saying that this chapter is a dispensational strong hold, well these are their most important verses.

Bob Deffenbough writes, "Israel's full and final recovery has surely been implied in the preceding verses, but lest there be any doubt that God is going to restore Israel to a place of prominence and blessing in fulfillment of His covenants with the patriarchs, the final recovery of Israel is clearly established in verses 25-32."

It seems to me that Israel's blindness and judgment is what is clearly taught in the preceding verses. Nowhere in these verses is it even hinted that Israel will be restored nationally.
