Hi Glenda,
Don't know how I could have overlooked your question on the resurrection.
Sorry.
The statement 'all Israel' means what it is says. It is a reference to the
second coming of Jesus Christ. According to the prophets, Israel will turn to
Jesus at some point. You can compare this to Zechariah 12:10, where it says,
"I
will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have
pierced, and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they
will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn."
Notice how this weeping and turning is a result of God's grace being poured
out.
Paul says, "So all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, 'The
Deliverer
will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.' "This is My
covenant with them, when I take away their sins." (Romans 11:26,27)
Blessings,
Buddy
