The name "Israel" refers to God's chosen people: born again Christians - period - plain and simple - :)
In the bible, there is a lot of symbolism, referring to the spiritual aspect of salvation, heaven, hell, humans, etc. Israel, is of course, a country, but when put in the spiritual context, the name 'Israel' is pertaining to God's 'elect' - born again Christians - and not everyone that says they're Christian are Christian. It's one thing to say it, but it's a whole different thing to live as a Christian.

YES THEY ARE ! That will never change. Israel Is the only land that God ever give the deed to,TheJews. No man can change that. God Is bringing them (Jews) home from the four coners of the earth to re-Inahbit their land.
Danger Dog. Just for your Information. Israel wil be the one place that will surprize many when oil Is found In great supply.
Woo unto them that try to divide the land of Israel to be called Palestine. God will cut them asunder. It Is a fearfull thing to be thrown Into the hands of a living God who can destroy
both body & soul.

Yes, they are. The promises to them are quite plain to see. In order for me to say something like this with proof is by going to the Bible, and find prophetic passages that have not yet occurred concerning the nation of Israel, even Judah.
I will show you some of these verses:
1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.
Okay so we know that Jerusalem was attacked by other nations and exiled, etc. We saw that already in the days of Jeremiah. But what makes this different is in the following verses:
3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
So the Day of Vengeance will come, but not with the one that Israel was expecting. The one who was already here, Jesus, who will touch his feet upon the Mount of Olives, and even the land will shake and change. We know that hasn't happened yet, and did not happen in the days of Jeremiah the Prophet.
God chose a side, and he gathered those nations to fight against Israel, so that He could save His people yet again.
(Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 38, 39)

Can someone wake up sally jane 3400 and give her a reality check ? Humans are all god's chosen people. We are all equal in the same way. The only thing that would elevate a person in god's eyes are their piety and good works!!!!

No, not the country Israel.
The decedents of Israel (Jacob), yes.
This country (Manasseh) is one of God's chosen people, the people that have ears to hear his word.

Not physical Israel but spiritual Israel - and that is God's Christians!

Should I lie to myself too? I don't see how false claims should elevate anyone over another .
No I don't buy into the god delusion hence their are no chosen people . Morality is for all homosapiens not just those who lie better .
chose peace for all, not religious prejudice.

You must not mean the nation itself. Unless the armed forces of "God's People" break the arms of youths and then bury them alive. Or deny the ancient inhabitants of the region essential water and sewage services.
Just checking.
All the best.
