Thus far, God has failed to keep their attention. Remember that Jesus told us that his mission was to the Jews. Here we are 2000 years later and they haven't changed their minds on the question of Jesus. Most of the OT quotes you have refer to a specific punishment or event, correct?

The jealousy of Israel is fulfilled when Christ returns and they recognize "Who He IS."

That doesn't quite square with the idea of the salvation of Israel, does it?

For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance. - Romans 11:18-29

However, the rejection of them are.

Again, God does not fail.

This is according to His will.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. – Matthew 13:14-16

God's Name is I AM.
