They were now literally "Not My People".

BUT,

That did not and cannot change the bare fact that they were actually descended from Jacob, and therefore the Abrahamic Covenantal promises regarding those descendants (which was based on the obedient faith of the Patriarchs, and not of their descendants themselves) continued to operate. Thus, they would still increase to become "as the sand of the sea and stars of heaven", and eventually in the place where it was said to them "You are not My people" instead they would be declared to be "sons of the living God". That is, there would be a reversal of their condition and status. They would cease to be strangers and foreigners from the commonwealth of Israel. They would in fact be reunited with Judah and become one people under one Head (Messiah).

So these people did not and do not have any genealogy to provide a legal basis for covenant status. If they did, they would be established as Israel but under the law, rather than under grace. Christ came to provide an atonement for them, to cover their iniquity and rebellion, to remove their sin, to save them from their sins, and to restore or redeem them (purchase them back) to God. So they are grafted in via faith in Christ, and not via the law or the deeds of the law.

As these multitudes of nations (descended from Jacob) are conformed to the image of Christ (to which they were predestined), the fullness of the nations (the multitude of nations they were promised to become) comes in (to the new covenant). And in this manner "all Israel will be saved". That is, it is not just a remnant of the House of Judah that would satisfy the conditions of "all Israel shall be saved", but the fullness of nations (of the House of Israel) united together with Judah. All 12 tribes, not just one small remnant of a couple tribes.

And to really throw a wrench into things, none of this has to do with the people today calling themselves "Jews" (Judeans). Once we understand these things, we are able to look at prophecies and stop trying to force them into a modern "Jewish" paradigm.

Because individuals don’t understand the above. They build a paradigm based on Zionism, Judaic and Christian. Which causes them to place Modern Israel as the main focus of eschatology. While the Church is just placed as the concubine of Jesus Christ.
