God never rejected Israel.

During the church age, He is giving Gentiles the chance to have faith in Him and be saved, but Israel has just been set aside in a manner of speaking, for the time being.

Romans 11:1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

Romans 11:25-29 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

“The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

God Himself tells us through Paul that He has not rejected and replaced Israel, that His covenant promises to them still stand.

You clearly see the divide and misled folks out there.
They are legion.

Most people can’t rightly divide the Word of Truth.

To their shame….
