Question:
The bible says that all Jews will be saved. When Jesus comes again, what will happen to the Jews who haven't given their life to Him? Will they have another chance?Answer:
Christian experts have been debating and disagreeing over the questions that arise from Romans 11 for years and years - such as: What and who does "all Israel" refer to? If the experts can't agree, I don't think that I can give you the definitive answer. But, let me give you some things to think about...
God is all powerful. He can do whatever He desires. God always does the right thing. He is all at once loving, merciful and just. He always acts in keeping with his own character - with who He is. The Bible teaches that Jesus is Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and that there is no other name under heaven given to us by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).When Jesus returns and "all Israel" is saved - however that happens - God will save in a way in keeping with who He is.
Think about Paul (who was Saul). He attacked and persecuted Christians. Yet, in a moment of time, when he encountered Jesus - he was changed! He went directly from unbelief to belief. Maybe this is what it will be like when Jesus returns and "all Israel" is saved.
