The people of God are Israel, but they are not numbered by physical descent. As John the Baptist warned the Pharisees (Mathew 3:9):
and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
Also Paul's writings in Roman's and Hebrews.
Those of spiritual Israel are of the same order as Melchizedek, to whom Abram gave a tithe.
