God has reserved a remnant. The whole Old Testament talks about these so-called Jews who went/go after false gods, etc.
The New Testament , as well.
And all the things God/Christ warn about in both Testaments are exactly what the cabal and minions worldwide participate in. Molech is alive and well, in addition to innumerable demons/fallen angels.
Re: remnant. Look up in a Concordance, Strong's is good, the word and usage. It's used in myriad ways, but there are specific examples referring to His people.
Also, many times it says the Jews, THE Jews, will be scattered until such time that the number of Gentiles has been grafted into the vine, whose root is Christ.
God brought in the Gentiles because the Jews forsook Him. He called them "stiffnecked". He said he'd "blind their eyes and stop their ears so that they could not see, nor hear and not be saved."
This causes jeaousy and strife amongst the Jews towards the Gentiles, because they banked on their heritage, rather than their worship, acknowledgement and obedience to Almighty God and His Son.
He sent His Word (Jesus) to the Gentiles and here we are.
Jerusalem is the epicenter of all things worldwide.
Nutshell.
As far as chosen is concerned, aren’t the Christians in the New Testament referred to as the ‘elect’? One example: https://www.bible.com/bible/59/mrk.13.22
This is a great explanation, far better than I could ever put to word:

This refers back to the initial opening:
"Throughout Romans 9, Paul systematically shows that God’s sovereign election has been in force from the very beginning. He begins with a crucial statement: “For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel” (Romans 9:6). This means that not all people of ethnic Israel (that is, those descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) belong to true Israel (the elect of God). Reviewing the history of Israel, Paul shows that God chose Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau. Just in case anyone thinks that God was choosing these individuals based on the faith or good works they would do in the future, he adds, “Though they [Jacob and Esau] were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad – in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls” (Romans 9:11).
At this point, one might be tempted to accuse God of acting unjustly. Paul anticipates this accusation in v. 14, stating plainly that God is not unjust in any way. “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” (Romans 9:15). God is sovereign over His creation. He is free to choose those whom He will choose, and He is free to pass by those whom He will pass by. The creature has no right to accuse the Creator of being unjust. The very thought that the creature can stand in judgment of the Creator is absurd to Paul, and it should be so to every Christian, as well. The balance of Romans 9 substantiates this point"
Well done, as it makes plain, who deception easily enters into discourse.
