Picking and choosing verses, spiritualizing, and redefining words, are what supercessionists and other judeophobes are best at.

The next thread in this series will be on Origen, which leads right to your point.

The spiritualizing, allegorical interpretation, and redefining of words didn't start until after the Apostolic Era ended. Prior to this change the approach was first literal. If we return to this approach so much more becomes clear. One example of this is the Book of Revelation. Once we recognize it is about God opening Israel's eyes it makes sense.
