——>43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
Exactly. Literal Israel is done. They were given EXACTLY 490 years to repent, etc... as prophesied by Daniel. They failed. The “gospel message” was taken from them and given to the Gentiles, the church. The church is a continuation of literal Israel. They are no longer a chosen people. They have as much chance as anyone else for salvation.
True. As Peter makes clear, the chosen are whoever believes in Christ.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
