Jeremiah 31 speaks of Israel's restoration - verse 3 states, ....."Yes, I have loved you with an EVERLASTING love; therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you"
AND AGAIN:
vs. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will FORGIVE their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name):

Then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a NATION before Me forever.”
Sounds to me God has FULLY committed to Israel for as long as we still have the sun and the moon!
NO! The Church is the Bride of Christ. Israel has always been portrayed as "married to God" as the book of Hosea displays. The Church is NOT Israel, no matter how you slice it

Yes, and the church is Israel. Read Galatians 3.
