There is a mystery to this. Jesus has 2 separate flocks that come together under His Headship.
There is the flock of natural Israel...that comes to Christ in the NT times...but who were tamim and shalem in the OT. And there is the flock that is spiritual but from the nations. These are they who are born from above.
Israel is both a nation and a church of nations according to God in Genesis. (Goy ouKehal Goyim) (Gen. 35:11)
Historically these have been first the natural and then the spiritual.
But it is only they who are of the Spirit that are Israel today...being neither male nor female, Jew nor Greek.
Are all Jews a part of Israel? No.
Are all Gentiles who are Christians part of Israel? No.
It is a remnant of each.
Israel is the Bride of Christ.
Our calling is the calling of saints who would be a part of the Bride.
