Answer: Yes! Despite the fact that Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah and was unfaithful to God under their Law covenant, God has not cast them off forever. “Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God. (45) But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.'” (Lev. 26:44-45 NASB)
God has promised Israel a great deliverance, greater than we He brought them out of the land of Egypt. This deliverance will vindicate God’s holiness and reveal Him to all mankind. “‘I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. (24) For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. (25) Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. (26) Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (27) I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. (28) You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God. (29) Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I will not bring a famine on you. (30) I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. (31) Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations. (32) I am not doing this for your sake,’ declares the Lord GOD, let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!’ (33) Thus says the Lord GOD, ‘On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. (34) The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. (35) They will say, ‘This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’ (36) Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the LORD, have spoken and will do it.” (Ezek. 36:23-36 NASB)
God will re-gather Israel back to the land which He promises to the fathers, process that we can see is already will underway. Then He will cleanse their iniquity, put His spirit within them and cause them to walk in His paths. He will restore their prosperity and bless them as He did in the past. “‘For behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.’ The LORD says, ‘I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'” (Jer. 30:3 NASB)
Jeremiah adds, “‘For I will restore you to health And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the LORD, ‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying: ‘It is Zion; no one cares for her.’ (18) Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And have compassion on his dwelling places; And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the palace will stand on its rightful place. (19) From them will proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who celebrate; And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. (20) Their children also will be as formerly, And their congregation shall be established before Me; And I will punish all their oppressors. (21) Their leader [Jesus] shall be one of them, And their ruler [Jesus] shall come forth from their midst; And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me; For who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?’ declares the LORD. (22) ‘You shall be My people, And I will be your God.'” (Jer. 30:17-22 NASB)
Though mankind thinks God has forgotten Israel, He has not. “But Zion [Israel] said, ‘The LORD has forsaken me, And the Lord has forgotten me.’ (15) Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. (16) Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” (Isa. 49:14-16 NASB)
