Wh*t are you thinging, itz spelt Israel.

And the Scriptures in question aren't referring to the secular, socialist modern nation-state -- but, whatever.

"And the Scriptures in question aren't referring to the secular, socialist modern nation-state -- but, whatever."

Exactly. They refer to Spiritual Israel (The Church).

So when Paul said, “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” was meant only for those that he was talking to at that time.

I would say that is pretty safe (and Biblical) to say that it applies more to the 6 million Jews that live in the State of Israel, than it applies to YOU.

No the scriptures refer to Abraham and his Hebrew descendents down thru Isaac, Jacob, and his sons and then their descendents. Since Israel includes many Jews that have descended from Abraham, it includes Israel as well. The Bible is full of latter days prophecies as to what happens when the world comes up against Israel “in the latter days”!
