"Therefore Israel will be abandoned [/will he give them up] until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest/remnant of His brothers will return [H7725] to/unto the children of Israel." Micah 5:3 (this verse not speaking of Jesus' birth way back then, like v.2 is speaking of).
[v.3a is speaking of "the woman" (of Rev12); v.3b is speaking of "the remnant [/the rest]" (that Rev12:17 also speaks of); neither of these two parts is speaking of "the Church which is His body"]

17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring – those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
For the KJV clan -it says the same thing.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Anyone with the testimony of JC is his body.

Yes, there are only Christians in Christ, whether you are of Jewish or Gentile descent. Christian Zionism erroneously separates Jews from Gentiles, contrary to scriptures (One Olive Tree in Christ of Romans 11, Jews & Gentiles being fellow heirs to the same promises of Ephesians 2&3)

Naomi is not ruth and ruth is not naomi.
In fact the nearest kin of Naomi refused her because he did not want his bloodline tainted with ruth.
Ruth is key to understand church/israel dynamic.
The bride is gentile
Israel is the wayward wife (whore)
Replacement theology fails with romans,revelation and ruth factored in.

All Jesus' disciples were Jewish Christians. Jew and Gentile are one in Christ, nothing was replaced, Christ is the fulfilment of God's promises to Abraham, that in him all the nations of the world (Gentiles) will be blessed. Ephraim's blessing in Genesis 48, as received from Jacob was that he will be the fulness of the nations (Gentiles).
The land promises to the offspring of Jacob will be fulfilled in Christ's millennium kingdom following his second coming.

Romans 11 tells us that God isn’t done with His chosen people. He did after all chose them to be their God forever. And according to Romans 13, they’ve only experienced a partial hardening until the fullness of the gentiles has come in.
So..Israel is still in play and God will bring them back to Himself...scripture confirms it..

Zechariah 12:10
I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

Indeed, our God does not break covenant.
Deuteronomy has some of the foundational prophecies. Then the later prophets colour it in with more detail.
I adore these 66 books!
Deut 4:31
30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
As surely as I live forever,
Rev 10
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, ‘There will be no more delay!
1 Thess 4:16
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Deut 32
36 The Lord will vindicate his people
and relent concerning his servants
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave or free.
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!
There is no god besides me.
I put to death and I bring to life,
I have wounded and I will heal,
and no one can deliver out of my hand.
40 I lift my hand to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
while my sword devours flesh:
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people,
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;
he will take vengeance on his enemies
and make atonement for his land and people.
40 I lift my hand to heaven and solemnly swear:36 The Lord will vindicate his people
