God made a difference between Abraham and the Gentiles when He gave Abraham a wall of partition between him and the Gentiles. Circumcision. When Abraham was 99 years old. That was God’s sign that they were to be a separate people from the Gentiles. With a separate land, separate duties, and a covenant promise with him that God would dwell with them in that land, on this earth one day.

I think you need to spend some time in the beginning - Israel was never supposed to be insular - they were supposed to evangelize. 'In the world, but not of the world' is not just a Christian concept. From it's very beginning, the Temple was declared a place for all nations to come and worship YHWH... And it will be so.
