And so all Israel will be saved
This phrase is pivotal in understanding the eschatological hope for Israel. The Greek word for "all" (πᾶς, pas) can mean "all kinds" or "the whole," suggesting a collective turning of Israel to God. Historically, this has been interpreted as a future event where a significant number of ethnic Israelites will come to faith in Christ. The term "Israel" here is understood as ethnic Israel, distinct from the Church, which aligns with the conservative Christian perspective that God has a distinct plan for Israel and the Church. The phrase "will be saved" indicates a future action, pointing to the fulfillment of God's covenant promises to Israel, as seen in the prophetic writings of the Old Testament.

as it is written
This phrase introduces a quotation from the Old Testament, underscoring the continuity of God's plan from the Hebrew Scriptures to the New Testament. The use of "as it is written" (καθὼς γέγραπται, kathōs gegraptai) is a common Pauline formula to assert the authority of Scripture. It reflects the Jewish tradition of grounding theological arguments in the sacred texts, affirming that the salvation of Israel is not a new concept but rooted in the prophetic promises.

The Deliverer will come from Zion
The term "Deliverer" (ὁ ῥυόμενος, ho rhyomenos) refers to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is prophesied to come from Zion, a term often used to denote Jerusalem or the people of God. This echoes passages like Isaiah 59:20, where the Redeemer comes to Zion. The historical and archaeological context of Zion as the city of David and the spiritual center of Israel highlights the significance of the Messiah's coming from this place. It emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus, who is both the hope of Israel and the Savior of the world.

He will remove godlessness from Jacob
The phrase "remove godlessness" (ἀποστρέψει ἀσεβείας, apostrepsei asebeias) indicates a turning away from sin and a restoration to righteousness. "Jacob" is a patriarchal name for Israel, symbolizing the nation as a whole. This reflects the prophetic hope found in passages like Jeremiah 31:33-34, where God promises to write His law on the hearts of His people. The historical context of Israel's repeated cycles of sin and repentance underscores the need for divine intervention to achieve true and lasting righteousness.

(26) When this ingathering of the Gentiles is complete, then the turn of Israel will come round again, and the prophecies of their conversion will be fulfilled.

There shall come . . .--This prophecy is peculiarly appropriate, as it refers to the exiles who had apostatised in Babylon. Then, as now, a part of the nation had remained true, and those who had not would come back to their obedience.

Out of Sion.--There is a curious variation here from the original, which is rather, to Sion. The LXX. has "for Sion"--i.e., in the cause of Sion. The Apostle appears to be quoting from memory, and is influenced by a reminiscence of other passages. Zion is the centre and capital of the theocracy, but the Messiah must first take up His abode there before He can issue from it.
