Allow me to go for this one.
We are spiritually Israel. We are Jews, for we are the children of righteousness as promised to Abraham. Now, since this topic has come up, let me state this. The Church is the ones who should endure to the end. In the NT, Paul tells us that there is no difference between Jew and Greek in the Kingdom. Why? All who have obeyed Acts 2:38 have become part of the true Israel. So, if it applies to Jewish Christians, then it applies to all.
