I provided a Wikipedia link for that one.
Please read it, because it is interesting.

Exo 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Wonder if he was quoting. Nice try

That was the first thing God told Israel when they reached Mt Sinai. The verse before that conditions that blessing on their obedience to God's voice. Within 40 days they broke the covenant and so lost that blessing, which was deferred until Christ fullfilled it on the day of Pentecost by creating the holy nation of God that Peter mentioned.

Psalm 125:1
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
All of those who trust in the Lord are Mount Zion.When a person repents sincerely they are washed with the water from top to bottom,because it starts with a thought.The word,or law entered your mind.When that happen,the two stone tablets with the 10 commandments "written" on them( (our halved brain)came down to the base of the mountain.
(two feet= two tablets.
ten toes=ten commandments.)
Psalm 132:13-14
For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Psalm 132:13-14 just screams the Holy Spirit.Doe's it not?
Exodus 15:17
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
Again,this is a Holy Spirit reference which inhabits our bodies.
Psalm 2:4-8
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
1 Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
The chief corner stone is the brain and the heart.The kingdom came down from heaven and God dwells among men.The Holy Spirit is God dwelling among men.
The simple way to explain it is heavenly thoughts+ taking them to the heart =the kingdom coming down from heaven and dwelling on the earth.
You have to have your mind on the things of God otherwise your drenching the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 12:22
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.
proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Then why were they told to return to the land each time they were chasten?
Why was the temple rebuilt. Or even built in the first place.
Because God needed a framework of law in order to condemn Christ so that we could be saved.
Also so that Jesus could be born there and bless them, so that through them every family on earth can be blessed.
Isaiah 9:6-7.
You were so close to the "money" when you observed that "kingdom of priests and holy nation" was spoken to the people of Israel in Exodus 19:6.
The fact that Peter said the same thing to New Testament believers tells us all we need to know about what the Israel of God is.
Notice also what Peter says to them in verses 5 and 6:
1Peter:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
I got a "zzzz" for quoting Mathew 7:16 regarding the fruits of the spirit.
Kind of like Dracula's school teacher turning up to give us our marks.
Why sion (zion) if Gods not a Zionist, I noticed Peter starts out as you also...not.... you... or ...we become ....but you also...or ...you too.
So in respect Peter being a jew says you too ,as lively stones.

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
An interesting look at how Israel persecutes Karaite Jews. I always like reading about the Karaites, who are the closest thing today to OT Israelites because they only follow the Torah. This makes them anathema in Israel. I pray God will open their eyes to Christ

So the Old Testament saints are our brothers in Christ.
He is the living temple and the true king of true Israel.
It is a spiritual kingdom.
Every verse that you just quoted is about the kingdom of Christ, and not a single one of them is about modern Israel.
Yet we have heard words like "temple", "household of God", "Covenants of promise", "commonwealth of Israel" and "Zion".
All this attributed to Jesus, and those who are found faithful in Him regardless of their ancestry.
This should make us read the Old Testament in a different light.
Nowhere in these verses do I find a directive to displace Palestinians because of their inferior ancestry, or to support Modern Zionism on account of it's claim to be the "household of God" of Ephesians 2:19.
Honestly, the only one really nasty here is you. Constantly projecting your nastiness onto others who disagree with you
Really? So I've been giving people nasty nicknames, calling people posts drivel and their posts a mess.Read xing every post without reading it. Yeah I don't think so. Hit the ignore button if you can't discuss and disagree without name calling.
