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”!
Israel, in God's eyes, is not an ethnic group; nor is she a secular, socialist modern nation-state. Hear Saint Paul:
Israel is the community of Christ-believing Jews, and also those gentiles which have been grafted into this Messianic Jewish community.
According to Saint Paul, THAT is Israel -- not an Ethnic Community, but rather a Belief Community.
The Israel of God -- Christ-believing Jews, and also those gentiles which have been grafted into this Messianic Jewish belief community -- have been persecuted many times by the world, and will continue to be, throughout all the Latter Days which have followed Christ's Resurrection.... until the bodily Return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It's not my wife's Conversos/Sephardic Jewish (i.e., Spanish-Jewish, on her mother's side, by way of Mexico) ethnic heritage which makes her a member of the Israel of God, but rather her belief in Jesus Christ.
She knows this; I wonder why many gentiles don't.
