This is incorrect because spiritually once you are saved you become a citizen of Heaven and only a sojourner to earth. There are no more ethnicities like Jews or Gentiles. So you are creating a heretical parody by even applying the 2 concepts of ethnicity + place on Earth such as Israel together. The only Israel that will ever exist is 100% earthly and natural. So if your salvation has rewarded you an earthly home you are serving the WRONG GOD!
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] foreigners and sojourners with me. Leviticus 25:23
Jacob prophesied that Israel would become a spiritual nation based on faith when he said the seed of Ephraim, who inherited all of the promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and whose name became synonymous with Israel, would become the fullness of gentiles. This is obviously talking about a spiritual reality that began at Pentecost when Israel that was sown in death among the nations was raised from the dead out of the valley of dry bones to become a spiritual nation born in one day. Jacob obviously was not talking about Ephraim's physical seed,And his father [Jacob] refused, and said, I know, my son, I know. He [Manasseh] also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed will become a fullness of gentiles. Genesis 48:19
