Or should I say are the inhabitants of that nation currently ruling as God?if no then they ain’t Israel.
From what I read is it means "struggles with God".Israel = he will rule as God.
Question is, did he?
who are the Jews? There is neither Jew or Greek!Israel was the name God gave to Jacob after he wrestled with an angel.
The history of how the State of Israel or Israel Nation got its name is complex.
"This is actually three separate questions. What did the name Israel originally mean? How did the ancient Jewish people and their homeland come to be known as "Israel"? And how and why was this particular name chosen for the modern state?"

The church founded by Christ on Peter replaced Israel
The Jews were the children and have rejected Christ and He has rejected them! 2 Tim 2:12
The church replaced Israel as the kingdom of God on earth! Matt 21:43
Your “the Jews” or “Israel’s house is a house of desolation, the Jews have the spiritual mark of Cain for killing their brother Jesus and are scattered to nations! Matt 23:39
The Jews killed Christ, as the instrument of the Roman governor!
Matt 21:38 acts 2:36 acts 3:13-15
But the nation in the person of the high priest rejected Christ and the nation consented to His death. Jn 18:14 Mk 15:13
And has never ceased blaspheming Christ, and His church!
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Does that mean bring everyone into agreement with you?what a stretch. Sometimes I just wonder how God will ever unite His Church in the unity of faith. But I have faith in His promises so how He will do it is for Him to know and us to find out.

No, it means bringing everyone into agreement with me.Does that mean bring everyone into agreement with you?
Does it? How do you seem to always perceive things in such a dramatic way as to turn a comment made in general into an insuation that I am building personal platform for my own beliefs.Does that mean bring everyone into agreement with you?
Quote the scripture and quit playing mind games please.I would think that the true Israel of God would be those who cooperate with Him.
Oy Vey!! A bunch of meaningless words of a man...moray for what?
The church is the new covenant, there is no other!
Quote the scripture and quit playing mind games please.

Israel is a biblical given name. According to the biblical Book of Genesis the patriarch Jacob was given the name Israel (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל, Standard Yisraʾel Tiberian Yiśrāʾēl) after he wrestled with the angel (Genesis 32:28 and 35:10). The given name is already attested in Eblaite (, išrail) and Ugaritic (, yšrʾil).[4] Commentators differ on the original literal interpretation. The text of Genesis etymologizes the name with the root śarah "to rule, contend, have power, prevail over":[5] שָׂרִיתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִים (KJV: "a prince hast thou power with God"), but modern suggestions read the el as the subject, for a translation of "El/God rules/judges/struggles",[6] "El fights/struggles".[7]

The name appears on the Merneptah Stele as (ysrỉꜣr), referring to a foreign group of people.
In Jewish and Christian texts from the Greco-Egyptian area during Second Temple Judaism and beyond the name was understood to mean "a man seeing God" from the ʾyš (man) rʾh (to see) ʾel (God).[8]
Jacob's descendants came to be known as the Israelites, eventually forming the tribes of Israel and ultimately the kingdom of Israel, whence came the name of modern-day State of Israel.
