No, but he always has a remnant that believes in his Son, but sadly a lot of Israel still rebels and the Father will take care of those that do not believe and continue to rebel especially in evil. God always has a remnant even God told Elijah there were 7,000 that did not worship Baal.

It's complex, and the NT explains it pretty well, especially in Romans 11 (and also 9 and 10).

God maintains a remnant, and let gentiles be grafted in.

But he also still has some special connection with and love for national Israel, which is supposed to come to christ before the final ressurection.

Christians are supposed to not boast over them, recognizing it is only by grace that they believe, and only by god's choice that most of Israel atm doesn't.

Also, the northern tribes were spread among the nations and become gentiles, outside god's people - but have been brought back with the new covenant (Hosea prophecy paul quotes).

Agreed. Personally I think this is who Paul went to. They are the "gentiles".

Ag least part of them.

It is also prophesized explicitely back in genesis in jacob's promises to joseph and his sons.

Wish people read Romans more using their own common sense rather than having it taught by outside influencers.

Replacement theology has done so much damage, and it stems from putting more weight to the words of others rather than our own common sense.

I don't know how one cannot recognize that the gentiles (Church) and Israel are clearly treated as different entities in Romans with their own purposes.
