Romans 11 says the Jews have been blinded for a time.
Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in...
Are people still being saved? Then Jews are still spiritually blinded.
Where is Israel mentioned in the Bible? Through the entire OT. I don't know how a person can read the Bible and not see how much God loves Israel, the apple of His eye. Name another place on the earth God says the things He does about Israel.
Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Exodus 2:24-25
“God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.”

I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land
Jer 31 -This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun
to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar—
the Lord Almighty is his name:
36 “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,”declares the Lord,
“will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.”
Not quite
Israel / Israelites – children of Jacob (Israel) – 12 tribes – not a state or country Israel.
They were all fighting each other and split to diffrentiate they called themselves - Israelites north tribes and & Judah south tribe.
Abraham did not say he is a Jew (nor did anyone else)– he was a man of God promised to multiple his nation.
'olam' – means ‘long duration’ not forever
Deuteronomy 28: 15 reads: "
But it shall come to pass, if you will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His Commandments and His Statues which I command thee this day; that all these
curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee."
Jeremiah 31: 31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a
new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the
covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because
they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.
37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
Matt 21:43
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
