you are talking about replacement theology which believes exactly as you stated. however nowhere in the bible does it even suggest that GOD would cast away the nation of israel. he has given them a promise through abraham, issac and jacob(renamed israel) that HE would give them the land that abraham walked on and that they would be the head of all nations, that has not happened at all in the history of the world.
christians have a unique relationship with GOD through JESUS. our position is soley(sp) due to the death and ressurection of our GOD and savior and the prophesy's of the old testament, that GOD would gather for himself a people from ALL nations and languages. we are benifiting from the temporary blindness of the isralies to see their messiah so we (gentiles) can be gathered from all the world.
once the full number of believers is gathered (only GOD knows that number) then the times of the gentiles will be over, then the blinders will be removed from the isralies and they will see as prophesy states in the old testament. GOD will then turn his full attention back to israel (though believers will not be foresaken by HIM) again as it is written in the old and new testaments.
its in the BOOK.

Well put.
"he has given them a promise through abraham, issac and jacob(renamed israel) that HE would give them the land that abraham walked on and that they would be the head of all nations"
Yep, and in the prophecies of Jeremiah he issued a bill of divorce against them, too.
