First of all, the Jews are no longer the "Chosen Ones" and the reason that they were "chosen" can be found in the Bible and will be a surprise to most Americans. Judeo-Christianity teaches us that the Jews have some special relationship with God even though they murdered His prophets and killed the Son of God, Jesus Christ. We are just supposed to forget about the fact that almost all Jews consistently turned away from the teachings of God and ignored or even murdered His messengers.

In John 8:44, Jesus tells the Jews "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies." In Revelations 2:9, an angel of God tells St. John "I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

In Mark 2:17, in response to criticism from the Jewish elders, who complained that Jesus was spending time with lowly sinners, Jesus replied "They that are healthy have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Why did God first focus on the Jews of all the races on the planet? Surely, God knew that the Jews would kill many of His prophets, and there was no doubt that the Jews would kill His Son. Was God trying to give us a warning about the true nature of the Jews to protect us so that we would keep them out of Christian lands or keep them from taking over our mass media and government?

An even more clear explanation that wipes away the notion of Jews still being the "chosen people" appears in the Parable of the Vineyard. In Luke 20:9 through 20:17, Jesus explains in unmistakable clarity, the notion of who is chosen and who isn't:

"Then began He to speak to the people this parable; A landlord planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the tenants beat him, and sent [him] away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see him. But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these tenants, and shall give the vineyard to others."=20

Basically, the Parable of the Vineyard explains that the Jews were evil from the start. That God gave them a chance, and they murdered the people sent to them, namely the prophets and the Son of God, and that a new chosen people will be found because the first people were undeserving. The White Race accepted Christianity and clearly White people are the new chosen people, who have accepted God's Word, and who deserve to be "Chosen Ones".
 
The word Jew, (Jewish), comes from the word Judah, which means;
the praise of the Lord; confession

And we all know that Judah came out of Israel (who prevails with God), who was Jacob (that supplants, undermines; the heel), the son of Isaac (laughter)[whom the promise was through, Romans 9:7-8]

The chosen people of God, are those who give praise to the Lord :praying

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

And our mission remains the same... To be a light unto the nations :yes
 
Romans 11:1-2
1 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

How do you read these verses? If God has forsaken Israel because of their disobedience, then how can Paul speak such words?

Certainly Israel has disobeyed. Israel can do nothing but disobey because God had not changed their hearts.
4 but Jehovah hath not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

However God has promised to change their hearts someday.
6 And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

To this day, God continues to harden Israels heart. This will be until the fulness of the Gentiles is completed.
25 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

Then comes the day when God will once again deliver Israel from their sinful natures.
26 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:The curious thing about this is that when the promise is fulfilled, each and every Israelite will be saved. They shall "all" be saved. Of course this is the same thing that Jesus told Nicodemus. There is only one way to enter the kingdom of God. (John 3) 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. To this day, only part of Israel is born again by the HS in regeneration. The rest of the nation remains in disobedience.

In conclusion, I will offer my opinion. There is a sense in which Israel is the people of God. They have a special promise concerning their nation concerning future national regeneration. As such they are the apple of Gods eye. This does not mean that individuals are not regenerated and justified by faith. Individual Israelites are today being regenerated and justified, individual chosen Gentiles are being regenerated and brought to faith. In the future, individual Gentiles will continue to be regenerate, but one day, in the future, the covenants of God will be fulfilled and all Israel shall be saved.

For the glory of God,
Mondar
