“THE GOOD NEWS!” for the Jewish people and all of Israel!

First, I'd like to know what you think what verse Romans 9:6 means, specifically the last half "...for not all Israel, is of Israel.".
I read the first article. Here are my issues with it.
There will come a time when the entire nation of Israel, not just the faithful remnant, will accept Messiah and reach fulfillment. ...This partial hardening of the Jewish people will not last forever. Once the full number of Gentiles from all the nations have been grafted into the Jewish Olive Tree of Salvation and Blessing, God's Spirit will be poured out on Israel so that the entire nation will turn to faith in Yeshua as the Messiah! Paul reinforces this by quoting Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 59:20-21) that the Deliverer will come from Zion and remove the sins of Jacob (the Jewish people). All Israel will be saved (the Jewish generation that is alive at the Second Coming) by turning to the Savior and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah!
This shows that they do not understand Romans 9:6: “Not as though the word of God has none effect. For they are not all Isreal, which are of Israel. “ (Romans 9:6b).
Nor do they understand Romans 11. 11:24 is not a promise that physical Israel will be regrafted in. It is a threat that might happen, but not necessarily. 11:25 simply states that some Jews will be saved (blindness in part) until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in. This is followed by 11:26 which is NOT a promise that ALL physical Israel will be saved, but rather that ALL the Israel of God will be saved, that is, ALL the children of promise, including physical descendents of Abraham and Gentiles, but only those who believe.
The Jewish branches will in fact be grafted back in! For I do not want you, brothers, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins”.
See how they twist 11:24 and :25. The prophecy mentioned in 11:26 is in the future tense, because it looks forward to the first coming of the Messiah. When we read this quotation, we should not think of it as a future prophesy, but one that has already been fulfilled. When Jesus comes again, it will not be to save “unbelieving Jews”. They didn’t recognize Messiah the first time. When he returns the second time on the great and terrible day of the Lord, it will be too late, for he comes in wrath. (see Matthew 24, Mark 13, Revelation 7, Revelation 14).
I think many will mistakenly recognize the son of perdition (the anti-christ) as the Messiah. (2 Thess 2:3,4 and Matthew 24:24). Real believers will not be deceived. Who will? Everyone else, including unbelieving Jews who are looking for the Messiah. They’re going to get one, but not Jesus Christ. The time for the unbelieving Jew to receive mercy is now at the foot of cross, before the "fullness of the Gentiles comes in." The church doesn’t replace Israel. Israel is always who it has been: the children of promise, those who believe in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:29)
