I believe God and his Word when he prophecied in Deuteronomy the re-gathering of his chosen people. Haven't seen a lot of scripture here, so let's start with these two.Now let me add this one note.
Yes I do believe that in this planet, there are people with traces of the Patriarchs bloodline in them ... but, only God knows who they are, not us.
Deuteronomy 30
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
30 (RY: ii, LY: iv) “When the time arrives that all these things have come upon you, both the blessing and the curse which I have presented to you; and you are there among the nations to which Adonai your God has driven you; then, at last, you will start thinking about what has happened to you; <SUP class=versenum>2 </SUP>and you will return to Adonai your God and pay attention to what he has said, which will be exactly what I am ordering you to do today — you and your children, with all your heart and all your being. <SUP class=versenum>3 </SUP>At that point, Adonai your God will reverse your exile and show you mercy; he will return and gather you from all the peoples to which Adonai your God scattered you. <SUP class=versenum>4 </SUP>If one of yours was scattered to the far end of the sky, Adonai your God will gather you even from there; he will go there and get you. <SUP class=versenum>5 </SUP>Adonai your God will bring you back into the land your ancestors possessed, and you will possess it; he will make you prosper there, and you will become even more numerous than your ancestors. <SUP class=versenum>6 </SUP>Then Adonai your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your children, so that you will love Adonai your God with all your heart and all your being, and thus you will live.
Romans 11
<SUP class=versenum>25 </SUP>For <SUP class=crossreference value='(AL)'></SUP>I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this <SUP class=crossreference value='(AM)'></SUP>mystery—so that you will not be <SUP class=crossreference value='(AN)'></SUP>wise in your own estimation—that a partial <SUP class=crossreference value='(AO)'></SUP>hardening has happened to Israel until the <SUP class=crossreference value='(AP)'></SUP>fullness of the Gentiles has come in; <SUP class=versenum>26 </SUP>and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
“<SUP class=crossreference value='(AQ)'></SUP>The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”
<SUP class=versenum>27 </SUP>“<SUP class=crossreference value='(AR)'></SUP>This is My covenant with them,
<SUP class=crossreference value='(AS)'></SUP>When I take away their sins.”
<SUP class=versenum>28 </SUP>From the standpoint of the gospel they are <SUP class=crossreference value='(AT)'></SUP>enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for <SUP class=crossreference value='(AU)'></SUP>the sake of the fathers; <SUP class=versenum>29 </SUP>for the gifts and the <SUP class=crossreference value='(AV)'></SUP>calling of God <SUP class=crossreference value='(AW)'></SUP>are irrevocable.
God has made a pretty clear distinction that Israel and Gentiles are still two separate, and distinct people.
