I haven’t learned where Israel fits, during the NT, until which time we are moved into Revelation and the 144,000 who see their Messiah is Christ Jesus?

Israel is all over the New Testament.

When Jesus describes the turmoil in Matthew 24 and 25 (referred to as the Olivet Discourse), the passage that talks about "when you see these things, do not run into your house for your cloak, ...", that is Israel.

When he talks about, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine ..." that's Israel

Jesus Christ will rule the world from David's in Jerusalem, Israel for 1000 years.

Nearly all of the initial believers were Jews from Israel. I say, "nearly" because for instance, Cornelius.

There are three chapters in Romans that is all about Israel's future - especially the passage that says, "All of Israel will be saved".

In Revelation, in Chapter 11, the Two Witnesses testify in Jerusalem. Immediately after that passage is a great earthquake - that is in Israel.

And as you mentioned, the 144,00 are all from the Twelve Tribes.

There is much more but those are the items off the top of my head.

Every mention about “vineyards” is about Israel.

Thanks for that. I wish I took the time to refresh on your great examples, to understand Why those examples refer to Israel. I would think rather to the foundling Church they would apply, not to say that Israel was any way forgotten, by no means, but on the whole neither were they believers, repentent, nor baptized in the name of the Lord, thus, the parable of the fig tree, where the Gentiles were grafted in, by a jealous God, instead.
