***Shortly God will be done calling the Gentiles on the right...He will again focus his attention on his chosen on the left...***
I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. ~ Paul, the Apostle.
Paul uses the fact that he and countless others of the seed of Abraham were coming to the Lord as proof that God has not cast away his people. The Deliver has come.
***We do not become Isreal any more than Israel becomes Gentiles...***
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
There is only one root; Christ. There is only one vine; Israel. We are grafted into her. For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

This can't be said often enough. All prophecy, all prophets, all Scripture point to Jesus Christ in whom "all fulness dwells" (Col. 1:19).
Christ is the third temple.
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." -- Galatians 3:8
