>>God is concerned with saving souls and reconciling the world to Himself in the Body of His Son, not some plot of dirt in the Middle East.<<

So God lied to the Israelites in your view?

Ezekiel 36:24 God is concerned with saving souls and reconciling the world to Himself in the Body of His Son, not some plot of dirt in the Middle East.

Jeremiah 30:3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Jeremiah 30 refers to “my people Isrsel”

hmm, interesting language.

who are God’s people today?

are those with Hebrew DNA “God’s people”?

not according to Peter:

1 Peter 2:9-10

but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, A HOLY NATION, GOD’S OWN PEOPLE, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were NO PEOPLE, now YOU ARE GOD’S PEOPLE; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Peter is describing those in the true Israel of God, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I dare say 95% of the people inhabiting the land called Israel with Jewish DNA, utterly reject Jesus Christ as Messiah. these are not God’s people if Peter is to be believed.

I also recommend reading Matthew 21:43 to see Jesus saying the kingdom would be given to the NATION Peter tells us we are.
