I've seen God called by different names. As much as I know, the consonants for his name are given in the OT, but the vowels are missing.
Does anyone here claim to know what the vowels are and thus the proper pronunciation of God's name. Or is it a mystery that will remain unknown?

Who do you think blindness refers to?
Romans 11:25
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.(NKJV)Correct. That is what I mean.Fleshly (natural) Jews; the descendants of Abraham.
I'm glad. Now what about answering my question. Could it be that when Paul said the words "all israel" he mean all spiritual Israel rather than all fleshly natural Israël?

The words "fleshly Israel will become Spiritual Israel" are NOT in Romans 11:25-26. Le it your habit to try and change scripture?

Yes, exactly fleshly Israel was indeed replaced because if their blindlness. So, when Paul spoke of "all Israel" being saved Paul was referring to the REPLACEMENT , namely "SPIRITUAL Israel"
Conclusion, all spiritual Israel will be saved; all fleshly Israel will not (because of their blindness)
