Was MacArthur a dispensationalist?

Right now Spiritual israel is the Church, but that dies not preclude God dealing with national Israel in last days

Brother, I respectfully ask, where do you get that info? All the elect, whether Jew or gentile, are part of the church. The church did not, nor does it ever take over for the Jews. The church is the Israel of God.

I know some Dispensationalists claim that because there has been a partial hardening that happened to Israel, we Amillennialists claim the church as a replacement, but Amils did not come up with that; that's a strawman from the Dispensationalists. But this hardening is speaking of the non-elect Jews rejecting Jesus; it never speaks of the elect Jews.

25 For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written:

Paul does not say, then after this (partial hardening), all Israel shall be saved. When Paul says, "all Israel will be saved," there is nothing to prove Paul is looking to the end of the age, but instead looking at the whole gospel age, which is from Christ's first and Second coming. Scripture also shows Paul sees and elect Israel (A Remnant) throughout the gospel age.

Romans 11:26 and so all Israel will be saved;

O Robertson, in his book, "The Israel of God," asks this question.
What does Paul mean by "all Israel?"

1) All Israel refers to all ethnic descendants of Abraham.
2) "all Israel" refers to all ethnic descendants of Abraham living at a future time at which God shall initiate a special working among the Jews.
3) "all Israel" refers to the "mass" or "majority" of Jews living at the time of a special saving activity of God in the future.
4) "all Israel" refers to all the elect Israelites within the community of Israel.
5) "all Israel" refers both to Jews and gentiles which together constitute the church of Christ, the Israel of God.


What does everyone choose, 1-5?

It could be 4 and 5, depending on how one is looking at it. Or simply all of the elect Jew and Gentile alike. Only the elect are ever saved (Romans 9:6).
