This was fulfilled in Luke 19:38 when his disciples said this very thing as he approached Jerusalem for the last time
Another day another replacement theology crew epic faceplant.

The fact of Jesus quoting Psalm 118 destroys every replacement theology pretension and error there ever was or ever will be.

Concordantly, the Hallel Psalm 118 is INTIMATELY connected to Romans 11:26-27, including the entire Roman 9 thru 11 message.

Connecting the Hallel to Romans 11:26–27

Paul’s statement in Romans 11 that "all Israel shall be saved" and that the "Deliverer will come out of Zion" mirrors the core themes found in the Hallel:

A. The Deliverer from Zion
Psalm 118 is the primary "entry" psalm for the Messiah. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds quoted Psalm 118:26 ("Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord").

In Romans 11:26, Paul points to a future fulfillment of this "Deliverer" coming to turn away ungodliness from Jacob. The Hallel sets the stage for a King-Deliverer who rescues the nation at its moment of greatest distress—a theme Paul argues is yet to be fully consummated for ethnic Israel.

B. The Inclusion of the Nations
Psalm 117 commands the Goyim (Gentiles/Nations) to praise God because of His kindness toward Israel.
Paul uses this exact logic in Romans 11. He explains the "mystery" that the partial hardening of Israel has led to the riches of the Gentiles, but that the ultimate goal is a unified praise where the "fullness of the Gentiles" and the salvation of "all Israel" meet.

C. The "Cup of Salvation" vs. "Taking Away Sins"
In Psalm 116:13, the psalmist says, "I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord." Paul defines this salvation in Romans 11:27 as the fulfillment of the Covenant: the definitive taking away of sins. In the Passover Seder (where the Hallel is sung), the fourth cup is associated with the promise: "I will take you as my people" (Exodus\ 6:7). Paul is essentially saying that the final "Cup" of the Hallel—the national restoration of Israel—is guaranteed by the character of the God who made the Covenant.

3. The Prophetic "Future" Link
The Hallel was sung at the very Pentecost (Shavuot) mentioned in your previous question.
The Past: The Hallel looked back at the Red Sea.
The Present (in Paul's view): The Messiah (the rejected Cornerstone) has been revealed.

The Future (Romans 11:26-27):
The nation of Israel will eventually sing the Hallel with full understanding.
Just as the Greek grammar in Romans 11:27 (hotan\ aphelōmai) looks forward to a specific point of removal of sin, the Hallel reaches its crescendo in Psalm 118:22-29, looking toward the day when the gates of righteousness are opened and the nation confesses that God's chesed (steadfast love/mercy) endures forever.

"Obviously, the sins of unbelievers in Israel are not removed by the new covenant".

Obviously you are dead wrong.
Can't be clearer evidence than this that you are not following the faith and gospel of Christ

@HeIsHere i'm beginning to think you may be right that this account is an AI bot. It's answers are too off-the-wall and anti-Christian to be real.

Lol. What is unreal is your horrendously ignorant notion that Israel is not and will not be saved via the New Coventant.
When the objective truth is that it will, and the New Covenant is the only one that is both available and effective.
 
Of course they will all be. They've been being saved for the past nearly 2000 years and will continue to be so up until the lord's return.
That's the Church in this Church age.

As has been overwhelmingly demonstrated by my last few posts, the NATION Israel will certainly enter into the New Covenant per Luke 13:35 and Matt 23:39 precisely as Paul states in Romans 11.

In perfect accord to the God breathed words of Moses, Daniel, Jerimiah, Isaiah, Joel, Hosea, Amos, Ezekiel and all of the prophets.

Go ahead. Deny the words of Jesus and all of His prophets. I expect the consequences of doing so to be dire and inevitable.

Rev 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Rev 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Aaaand here is my consolation. Enjoy the tribulation. You asked for it, so when you are in it you have no one to blame but yourself.

Rev 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
 
Never thought of that. All commentaries ive read place it at the second coming. Do you believe remnant of physical Israel will be saved in the end?
Think again friend. And stay away from the replacement theology laced Kool aide.
The stuff will make you crazy.

Luk 19:38
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

Luk 19:41
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Luk 19:42
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

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.

Luk 19:44
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Yes, I think that will be to God's glory to save those there that are his that have been subjected to such gross darkness. In fact, Revelation actually mentions a remnant in Jerusalem that will give glory to God just before Christ returns. That differs from other places in Revelation where those subjected to judgments blaspheme God. So that's a hopeful sign that those are a believing remnant

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Revelation 11:13

Lol, I am not racist, and many here who aren't Zionist

The term Zionist has become a dirty way to avoid being called Antisemitic. I have said, but it was just correctly said in this thread by another poster God is a Zionist.



I never claimed there was a Godly nation on the world. You obviously are ignorant. I don't have time for your nonsense.

You and others on the opposite side keep pointing out that Israel is not a Godly nation. That's the whole point that you either don't understand or can't swallow, Israel are the dry bones coming together. God's mercy is so deep and so vast that He is STILL calling to the Jews who rejected Him. He STILL loves them. And He WILL restore them. Either that or God is a liar.

It's more about ending weapon shipments to them, but otherwise I agree with you, many will turn to Christ.

Pride Land," a four-day LGBTQ+ festival scheduled for June 1–4, 2026, is slated to become the largest pride event in the history of the Middle East, taking place at the Dead Sea in Israel. The event, billed as the biggest Pride festival ever in the region, is designed as a 24-hour "Pride City" in the Judean Desert.


Key Details About the 2026 Dead Sea Pride Event
Dates: June 1–4, 2026.
Location: The Dead Sea, specifically in the Judean Desert near Ein Bokek, described as "the lowest place on earth".
Organizers: Led by main producer Aaron Cohen, this is a private production supported by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not a government-led initiative.

The decision to host the festival at the Dead Sea has drawn international attention because the southern region of the Dead Sea is historically and biblically associated with the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which are described in Genesis 19 as being destroyed by God, with many interpreting this as a judgment against sexual immorality.

Yes, that's incredibly sad to see but no different than America or many other countries.
