There are a lot of Christian Zionists still defending Israel as God’s “chosen people” and say the Bible proves and states all Israel will be saved. They wrongly identify the Jewish nation as all of Israel. First off, very few of Jews today can prove that they are from the Tribe of Judah. That is where the term Jew comes from. Jews only represent 2 of Israel’s ancient 12 Tribes, Judah, and Benjamin. None of the other 10 Tribes were ever referred to as Jews.
Israel as a single Kingdom was only ever unified during the rules of two kings, David and his son, Solomon. This was from 1003 B.C. to 930 B.C. After this the nation was separated in two, The Northern Kingdom, and Judea, The Southern Kingdom as depicted in the attached map.
The 10 Tribes, Israel were captured by the vast Assyrian Empire in 722 B.C. and dispersed among the nations throughout the world. They were never and will never be Jews. They have different identities and nationalities now as Gentiles. Before the 10 Tribes were conquered by Assyria in 722 B.C. they were known as the Northern Kingdom, Israel, Ephraim, and Samaria. The Northern Kingdom of Israel, the Ten, and The Southern Kingdom, the Two were in constant unrest and even civil war.
The Southern Kingdom was known as Judea and Jerusalem. That is where the term Jew was established. After they were taken captive by Babylon in 597 B.C. Judea returned to Jerusalem as a small nation in 536 B.C. after Cyrus’s edict in 538 B.C.
The Jews/Judeans rejected Jesus Christ as Messiah. They had Him crucified. The Bible foretold this would happen through the Prophets. Christianity spread throughout gentile nations and up until today Christ is still rejected by the Jews and in extreme cases they blaspheme Him in their religious writings.
Also, God’s promises to Abraham were to all of his descendants, that includes his firstborn son Ishmael, who is the forefather of the Arab nations. They have just as much, if not more validity to live on the lands God promised to Abraham, because they can prove that they are Semites, and also Hebrews. The modern-day Jews who are Ashkenazi and Khazars, have trouble showing their lineage. They are imposters.
Zionist indoctrination over the past 100 years have blinded Christians to excuse the State of Israel of any and all wrongdoings, including this current genocide on Palestinians who were robbed of their homeland. The Scofield Study Bible played a major part by distorting Scripture, and modern-day Pastors with enormous followings like John Hagee serve their Zionist masters, not their congregations.
Gaza as can be seen on the map was never part of any Israelite or Judean kingdom. Biblical Israel and the State of Israel are not the same. You can take the position that all I just mentioned is fiction. The reason I share this though is just to prove that the current validation by some for the State of Israel's abhorrent behavior has no basis. Not in ancient writings or anywhere else.
There are some extremists who believe that the rightful heir to the throne of David is the British King, king Charles, who believes they are the direct lineage of David's offspring. Look up the Stone of Scone to see that myth. People around the world will make ridiculous claims for the sake of power. If you lie, lie big.
Modern day Israel (Non-Semites) has as much claim to the land as Micronesians have.
In the times we are living in this rhetoric of “God’s chosen people” sounds similar to “The Master Race” and we all know how that turned out.

WHO IS “ISRAEL?”
700 years after Moses, the prophet Hosea ministered in the northern kingdom of Israel. During the early part of Hosea’s ministry, Jeroboam II ruled over Israel, and the northern kingdom enjoyed great prosperity. But spiritually and morally, the Israelites were bankrupt, having fallen into idolatry that would ultimately cause God to drive them out of their land in 722 BC.
The people had failed to be what God called them to be—a royal priesthood and a light to the nations (Exodus 19:5–6; Isaiah 42:6). This failure occurred despite God graciously adopting Israel as “His son.”
(Hosea 11:1) – “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt, I called My son.”
Israel was not true to its identity as “a son” and was finally cast out of the land. But Hosea also saw that God’s anger against His people would not last forever; He would provide a renewed Israel who would serve the Lord faithfully.
That hope for a new Israel—a true Israel that would embody all that God called Israel to be—persisted across the centuries into the New Testament era.
This hope was finally fulfilled in the incarnation of God’s true Son by nature, Jesus Christ.
Matthew tells us that Jesus fulfills Hosea 11.
(Matthew 2:13-15)
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my Son.”
Jesus is the true Israel, the faithful Israel who succeeds where the Old Covenant Israel failed.
Like ancient Israel, Jesus:
*Came up out of Egypt (Matt. 2:13-15)
*Passed through the waters in baptism - Matt. 3:13-17)
*Was tested in the wilderness (Matt 4:1- 11).
Compare to Ancient Israel:
*Came out of Egypt (Ex. 12:40-42)
*Passed through the waters at the Red Sea (Ex.14:1-31)
* Was tested in the wilderness (Ex. 16:4)
Unlike Old Covenant Israel, however, Jesus passed the test. He is therefore worthy to be called God’s Son because of Who He is in His deity and because of what He accomplished in His humanity.
The good news of the Gospel tells us that we can be the true Israel of God as well. If we are in Christ, we share the privileges and relationship He enjoys as God’s true Son.
We are spiritual sons of God by adoption, His beloved children in Christ. Therefore we inherit all of the promises given to Old Covenant Israel. Those promises of God that Israel would rule over her enemies and enjoy abundant covenant blessings.
The New Covenant through Jesus, the Body of Christ, has become the New Jerusalem – “Spiritual Israel
In contrast to natural Israel, spiritual Israel finds residence not in earthly Jerusalem but in heavenly Jerusalem. (Galatians 4:26; Hebrews 12:22).
Galatians 4:26 -
“… but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.”
Hebrews 12:22
“But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly…”
We experience God through the power of the indwelling Spirit of Jesus. Circumcision, a physical act done that ceremonially sets Jews apart, has now become a circumcision of the heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 2:29).
The Holy Spirit calls God’s people into a new humanity - God’s spiritual Israel (Galatians 6:15-16).
The coming of the Holy Spirit, the empowering personal presence of Jesus, fulfilled the prophetic promises that God would one day initiate a New Covenant relationship with mankind.
The prophets foretold this covenantal relationship would not be based on external rules and regulations but on God’s unconditional love, total forgiveness of sin, and an experiential knowing of Him (Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 36:25-27; Isaiah 59:21).
God’s people are now guided by the presence of the Holy Spirit, not rules and regulations (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Since Jesus is the true Israel and we abide in Him, we share that identity. The true Israel is not a “a political state”, Israel is a Person!
Therefore – The modern-day political state of “Israel” is not the true Israel of God – we are - in Christ!
The true Israel of God is the Prince of Peace.
The true Israel of God does not hate people.
The true Israel of God is not political.
The true Israel of God is not land in the Middle East.
The true Israel of God is the Son of God.
The true Israel of God is Christ & His Body.
