I don't care if your own religion says you're chosen by God. That's pretty standard fare
Actually this was rescinded because God let them know that they were whores who kept whoring themselves out to other gods (the entire book of Hosea is about Israel being nothing but whores, which is why God had Hosea marry a whore so he would know what it felt like); they broke the Covenant he made with them COUNTLESS times. Even though he kept giving them multiple second chances.
Anyway, that was the whole point of Jesus dying on the cross, so everyone could be saved through him because Jews were no longer going to be the only ones to be chosen to inherit God's gifts, and Revelations basically makes it known that they would lose everything and constantly fall under the oppression of their enemies because they couldn't stop being whores (literally and figuratively).
Which I personally have never understood. I grew up in a very anti dispensationalist church, so I never got indoctrination into the Israel thing.
But even just on the face of it. Reading the Bible the entire POINT is that the old testament was largely symbolic version of what was to come. And that once the real things are here the symbols aren't needed. The church is the true Israel, christ the true lamb etc etc.
If you don't believe that I don't really know WHAT you believe the Bible is about. Like all are fallen except the jews they're cool and well be saved by a jew but not THE jews also 1000 years of darkness
Jesus has one "bride", the Christian church. The New Testament says that Israel is no longer a specific ethnic group. Israel is Christianity.
Dispensationalism is heresy and satanic, pushed and funded by jewish subversives for well over 100 years. As an easy example, look into who funded the Scofield Bible, and how a seeming nobody somehow became prominent on the world stage.

The chosen status was rescinded when they rejected Jesus. That was their last chance, hence Jesus lamenting Jerusalem.
Don't tell mainstream evangelicals this. They'll have a heart attack.
