The below video is lengthy and a bit challenging, but full of scriptural references. It seeks to answer the question of what biblical Israel was, and what it is today. Furthermore, it seeks to help us understand who the Jews were when they urged Christ’s crucifixion, and who they are today. You might quibble with some of the assertions made in the course of this video, but I think the main themes are on target:
What Is/ Was Israel; and Who Are/ Were the Jews?

We are all God’s children :
1 John 3 . See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
The Jews of Christ’s days rejected Him partly on the basis that they were Abraham’s children so they didn’t need Jesus Christ. Although the promise of the blessing of salvation is connected to the “seed” of Abraham, that seed is Christ. But they missed the point.
Unbeknownst to them, this blessing can only be attained by faith, faith in Christ, not by physical birth into the Jewish family or descendants. So natural birth cannot do it!
Thanks, Fred. One of the things that has happened over the years is that many Christians have become confused on certain points. This is one of them.
