Thanks, since only Ephesians, in your list, was written by Paul, let us examine it
Which part of Ephesians 2 states that we are now Israel?
My interpretation is that Paul was referring to the Body of Christ, a secret that was hidden until God revealed it to Paul, as stated in Ephesians 3:9.
Yes, I agree that in the Body of Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile. Everyone is equal in the eyes of God, in his body.
But are you saying you believe that means Paul is calling the Body of Christ Israel, when it is not stated in Ephesians 2?

Ephesians 2 (ESV)
11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh (Gentile-scattered, adopted Ephramites, Ephraim northern kingdom, Assyrian exile into all the nations) , called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel (Jews, Judah southern kingdom, returned already at Jesus' / Yeshua's time from Babylonian captivity) and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances (once written on stone, now written on our hearts, for obedience out of our free will for those who love Jesus / Yeshua for his atonement offering on the cross, and his resurrection that conquered death), that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two (two houses of Israel, Ephramites and Jews, ancient northern and southern split kingdoms of Israel), so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross (the Church of restored Israel, consisting of both Gentile-adopted, scattered Ephraimites and Jews), thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off (Gentile-adopted, scattered Ephraimites) and peace to those who were near (Jews). 18 For through him we both (Gentile-adopted, scattered Ephraim, and Judah) have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God (the Church of restored Israel under King Jesus the Messiah / Yeshua ha'Mashiach), 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit (the Church of restored Israel under King Jesus the Messiah / Yeshua ha'Mashiach).
Also it is a danger to limit your readings of scripture to that of Paul, as Peter (the apostle who Jesus / Yeshua called the rock on whom he will build his Church / restored covenant people / restored Israel:
2 Peter 3 (ESV)
15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
In the words of John, the beloved disciple and apostle of Jesus / Yeshua, who also brought us the book of Revelation:
John 11 (ESV)
48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish." 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
