I haven't seen anything from Ryrie one way or another on this passage so I can't say for sure, but I suspect most dispensationalists would not argue for the spiritual salvation of all Israel. I'll be sure and make mention of it if I come across anything one way or the other. Dan,

Interesting post. One cannot just willy-nilly lift a passage out of Scripture and interpret it by itself, without the lens of the rest of the Bible. The Bible is systematic and inextricable within itself by nature. Looking forward to the millenium post.
