The text (Rom 11) says into Israel--
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: (the elect)
as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Yes, 'into Israel' is the right idea. That is the shape of history until the 2nd coming. Gentiles who become believers are 'coming into Israel'. All of this Israel will be justified from its sins (saved). It will be 'in this manner' (by faith, and determined by faith, not by ethnicity, race, heredity).
By not accepting what is going on here in the text, 2P2P people have started saying that Ezek 37's 'graves' are Gentile nations, and that to be made alive means to be placed back in the land of Israel. Yep, right where the text itself is a spiritual gem, 2P2P is there with its muck to change it all.
