Scripture speaks often about the nations coming to Israel. The mixed multitude that came out of Egypt and the foreigner or stranger who dwells among Israel were all to be considered as though native born. I do not think it would be fair to say God ignored the nations by giving Israel a special status. This special status, in fact, was supposed to be the magnet or catalyst to bring the nations TO God. We didn't do as good of a job as we should have. With the advent of Messiah, Israel (unbroken and grafted branches) is to be a magnet or catalyst to bring the nations to God. We aren't going as good of a job as we should. We fight, bicker, call each other names, and say everyone is going to hell except our denomination (generalizations, please understand).
Same problem.
Different day.

Much here with which to agree.
