Not likely, but God is simply a promise keeper.
If Jesus returned today, for example, Benjamin Netanyahu and all of his living descendants, along with all of Israel, will unworthily be saved and recieve the Holy Ghost.
Why?
Because of some promises to these guys...
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.(meaning, God keeps his promises to the fathers' as He declares)
