This is not only NOT stated in scripture. It is contrary to EXPLICITLY STATED New Testament scripture.Even after the Redeemer has come and died on the cross, people still want to read prophecy of Scripture with the vail of a fleshy seed over their eyes, even as them in the Jews religion want to read all Scripture with the vail of Moses over their hearts.
The broken off unbelievers are under wrath until the end.
Except any of them repent and are grafted in again.
The uncircumcised nation that calls itself 'Israel' in name only is no more abhorred nor honored by God, than any other uncircumcised nation and people on earth: any may be redeemed by faith in Jesus.
Romans 11 was not about the physical seed being still 'special' to God, but about God's mercy allowing any of them to be welcomed back to the fold by faith, just like any other unbeliever on earth.
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
At the cross, there was a complete wiping of the dish, and with His resurrection there is a restoration of all things in Him: a people, kingdom, family, inheritance, hope, promises...
We are biblical Israel.
Yes. We are now physical Israel of God on earth. The physical body of Christ, the risen king of Israel.
Christians in natural bodies, not born of the flesh as was Ishmael, but after the Spirit as was Isaac.
For Romans 11:28-29 says of the unrepentant Jews, "Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
And Romans 9:3-4 says that the promises still "pertain" to Paul's "countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites."
EXPLICITLY STATED scripture ALWAYS takes precedence over ANY and ALL mere INTERPRETATIONS of scripture.
