I also believe that the people, those who are genuine descendants of the Hebrew tribes, are loved by God Who is doing much to draw them to their Messiah. This is not just happening in Israel, but alsi in America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Europe. Just as the genuine children of Ishmael are also being drawn to Christ for Abrahams sake, their father. However, Israel, the nation, is no longer God's chosen vessel for bringing the gospel of grace to the world. That responsibility lies with the church...Sorry but you want it all to be nice and neat and to fit in with your theology, but it doesn't work that way.
The Jews are God's special people that he chose to be his example and representative on earth. He has dealt with them like no other nation and they are central to the fulfilment of his plan and purpose for the end times so they cannot be ruled out because they have been naughty boys.
And you are speaking as though every Jew is the same which cannot be farther from the truth. As of now, many Jews have accepted Christ as the Messiah and there are many messianic congregations in Israel. They will continue to grow.
As we move towards the end time the Jews will fall into line with the plans God has for them, so don't worry your little head about them. What God has planned will happen you can be sure of that.
If that is not the case then God is not God.
1 ¶ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time....
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
