The Jewish people were chosen first, then the gentiles (Romans 1:16). But the Jewish were chosen to be the lineage of His one and only son, Jesus Christ. Then, because of Jesus dying on the cross, the final sacrifice, the veil was torn, giving the rest of man-kind the Way to be a child of God. Jesus made the Way by giving His sinless life for all of us. God has all knowledge of eternity past, present and future so He knows who will come to Him, so I don't rate myself as being one with the Jewish Nation, but Jesus provided a way for me to be one with God as well (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). This is just one verse on God's chosen people, it was a good one for me to read this a.m. so thank you Dwight for your statement.
I thought this was good so wanted to share it here. Greg Lauries Blog says a lot to me, and lists the reasons for me to stand with Israel, it goes deeper than I can with my limited knowledge. I thank God for pastors like Greg Laurie, really a good well-written article. There's a video as well but I preferred reading it, https://harvest.org/resources/gregs...y-the-nation-of-israel-and-the-jewish-people/
The more things change, the more they remain the same. From the year 600 till now. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u-1HumBXBvE
