I already did and I made two posts following that one. Did you not understand what they said?

That didn't really answer my question. Are you afraid of offending people here? Do you or do you not believe that God/Jesus will bring a remnant of the Jews into the New Covenant, restore the land for them, and bring them into the Millennial Kingdom to live in peace for 1,000 years before the final Great White Throne Judgement and Heaven is revealed for all? (Revelation 20 & 21)

I think you're trying to evade my question. The seed of Isaac and Jacob have been called.
Romans 9:7-11
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.

We've been around this circle long enough for me to tell that you have absolutely no idea what you're reading or posting. Thanks for the confirmation.

I've already explained it to you. You're not replying to those responses, so you don't understand what you're reading.

First off
Let me say I'm not antisemetic...
I have zero desire to see the Jewish people die by any reason....
BUT
Jews collectively are the MOST annoying group of all of mankind.
And it was for that reason why God chose them to be his chosen people.
These annoying behavior traits? They have gotten them to be hated and despised and executed en masse over the millennium. Spanish Inquisition, French Inquistion, WW2 and etc....
So....they incur the ire of everyone due to the specific businesses they choose to be involved with.
And then they are obnoxious when dealing with their customers.
Being even more annoying.
Result being they are the most annoying people on the planet....
However....since God Chose them....
Because if God chose them....then there's hope for people like me...

Let me explain it to you in more detail what "God's sovereign purpose" means again, since you used those words, but have no idea what they mean.
God/Jesus tells us why He chose Israel and the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to make them a witness to the fact that He is God before all of the nations on earth (the Millennial Kingdom) for 1,000 years before all are judged. (Revelation 20 & 21).
- Isaiah 43:10–12 — "You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no foreign god among you; therefore you are my witnesses, declares the Lord, that I am God."
- Isaiah 44:6–8 — "I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no savior... Fear not, O worm Jacob, O insects of Israel! Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God... Who has done this and declared it? When I chose them, they were not present; after that you have become my witnesses, declares the Lord — that I am God."
- Isaiah 46:9–13 — "Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning... My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose, in bringing from Babylon a remnant, and from Assyria my chosen people, that they may rejoice in me, and that all the ends of the earth may know that in the Lord alone is salvation, and in my name no other."
- Isaiah 42:6–7 — "I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness."
- Isaiah 49:6 — "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel; I will make you a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
- Isaiah 55:4–5 — "Behold, I will give him as a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples... Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
- Isaiah 60:3 — "Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."
- Isaiah 66:18–20 — "I am coming to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see my glory. I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors of my people to the nations... and they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the Lord... and they shall come to my holy mountain in Jerusalem on horseback... For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall my offspring and my name remain."
- Ezekiel 36:23 — "I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when I am proven holy in you before their eyes."
- Ezekiel 38:16 — "I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog."
- Ezekiel 39:7 — "My holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel."
- Deuteronomy 4:5–8 — "See, I have taught you statutes and rules... Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.' For what great nation is there that has gods so near to it as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call upon him?"
- Deuteronomy 28:10 — "The Lord will set you high above all the nations of the earth."
- Exodus 19:5–6 — "Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession... and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."
- Romans 3:1–2 — "What advantage has the Jew? Considerable in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the very words of God."
- Acts 13:46–47 — Paul and Barnabas declare to the Jews: "Since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' (Quoting Isaiah 49:6.)
- Acts 15:17–18 — James quotes Amos 9:11–12: "After this, I will return and rebuild the dwelling of David... so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes known these things from of old."
