Did you read anything I wrote? So you are going to ignore everything the Apostle Paul had to say about Israel? One of my points was that the word "Israel" is loaded word. It has multiple meanings & means different things to different people. We are under the New Covenant - the Covenant of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 19:28: “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’” (NIV)
Luke 22:28-30: “You who have followed me will eat at my table and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (NIV)
Acts 1: 6 & 7
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority...
.. No. Israel was Prophet Jacob's nickname:
Genesis 32:28
Genesis 35:10
..etc, etc.
