So, you believe that Israel was not chosen for salvation, but was chosen to be the line of the Messiah. There's a lot of questions to thrown in here. But let me just ask some basic ones. Is not the Messiah, the savior? Could you tell me whose Savior is the Messiah? Here's another. Consider the following scriptures concerning Israel:
Exodus 19:6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Do that scriptures not tell you a purpose of Israels' election by God? Does not a kingdom of priest and holy nation speak of salvation?
God chose Israel to be the line of the messiah. Of course, his will was that they all be saved. Were they? Certainly not. And these promises are for all who are in Christ, not necessarily Israel by birth but by the second birth. The Messiah is the Saviour of all who currently believe in him, of course. Not just physical Israelites, but from all of mankind.
