The question, “Is Israel still God’s chosen people?” has stirred intense theological debate for centuries. In today’s world of political confusion and spiritual compromise, it’s critical that we return to Scripture and history for the truth. According to the Covenant Israel Message, the answer is a resounding yes—Israel is still God’s chosen people. But here’s the key: the Israel of Scripture is not the modern political state of Israel nor merely the Jewish people, but the descendants of the ancient House of Israel, now found among the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic, Scandinavian, and kindred peoples of the Western Nations.
This truth is neither racist nor exclusive. It’s a biblical, historical, and prophetic reality grounded in covenant responsibility and servanthood, not ethnic supremacy.
Understanding “Chosen”
To be “chosen” by God never meant privilege without purpose. From the beginning, God’s calling of Israel was not about favoritism, but service. Deuteronomy 7:6 makes it clear:
“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”
This choosing was covenantal. God chose Israel to carry His laws, reflect His character, preserve the Scriptures, bring forth the Messiah, and bless all families of the earth (Genesis 12:3). This “chosen-ness” was not about race, but relationship. It was not about privilege, but purpose.
Who Is Biblical Israel Today?
After the Assyrian captivity of the Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom around 721 BC, these Israelites were scattered and largely disappeared from view. Yet God never forgot them. Prophecies throughout the Old Testament affirm that He would regather them, cause them to become a multitude of nations (Genesis 48:19), and plant them in a new land (2 Samuel 7:10).
The Covenant Israel Message confidently identifies these scattered Israelites as the peoples who later emerged in Northwestern Europe and the British Isles—the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic, Scandinavian, and kindred peoples. From these came the Western Nations: Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and others.
These nations have fulfilled the promises God made to Abraham’s seed: global influence, blessings to many nations, defense of justice, and widespread dissemination of the Gospel.
Are the Jews the Same as Israel?
One of the most common misconceptions in modern theology is equating “Jews” with “Israel.” Biblically, “Jew” refers to someone from the tribe of Judah, or more broadly from the Southern Kingdom (Judah and Benjamin), which survived the Babylonian captivity.
The Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom—called the House of Israel—were distinct from the House of Judah. The prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:16-22) clearly prophesied of a time when these two houses would be reunited, implying they were separate for much of history.
Today, most Jews trace their lineage to Judah. However, the vast majority of the House of Israel was never called “Jewish.” They were dispersed and later regathered, as prophesied, not to Palestine but into the Western Nations, where they would grow into a multitude of nations, possess the gates of their enemies, and become a blessing to the whole world.
A Servant People, Not a Superior People
God’s choosing of Israel was always about service, not supremacy. In Isaiah 49:3, God says:
“You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
The chosen people were meant to serve as a light to the nations, a beacon of God’s laws, morality, and grace. The Covenant Israel Message promotes this understanding: that the descendants of Israel in the West have a divine responsibility to uphold righteousness, spread the Gospel of Christ, and bless the world through obedience and servanthood.
Far from being racist or exclusive, this message reaffirms the Bible’s call to responsibility and covenant loyalty. It places more weight on duty, not less.
The Western Nations in Bible Prophecy
The blessings given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not only spiritual but national. Genesis 35:11 says:
“A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee…”
Where are these company of nations today? The modern state of Israel does not fit the prophecy. But the Western Nations, particularly the British Empire and her offspring—including the United States—fit this description perfectly. They have become multiple great nations, spreading Christian influence, justice systems, and technological development across the world.
Moreover, biblical prophecy speaks of Israel in the “isles afar off” (Jeremiah 31:10), and that God would regather them to Himself there. Britain—the great isle of the West—along with kindred European nations, aligns with this description. These nations have preserved and distributed the Bible in nearly every known language, reflecting their divine role as covenant carriers.
The New Covenant Did Not Cancel the Old Promises
Some suggest that the New Covenant nullified the national calling of Israel. But this idea contradicts Scripture. Jeremiah 31:31-36 makes it abundantly clear that the New Covenant was made with the House of Israel and the House of Judah—not a new, unrelated people.
The Apostle Paul in Romans 11 warned Gentile believers not to boast against the “natural branches”—the physical descendants of Israel. He declared:
“The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29)
This means Israel is still chosen, still relevant, and still central to God’s plan—not because of racial identity, but because of God’s unbreakable promise.
Rejecting Replacement Theology
Replacement theology falsely teaches that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. But Scripture teaches fulfillment, not replacement. The Church includes believing Israelites and grafted-in Gentiles (Romans 11), but it does not replace Israel. The promises to Israel as a people and nation remain intact.
In truth, many of those who comprise the modern Church, especially in the Western Nations, are physical Israelites by descent—descendants of the House of Israel rediscovered.
The Purpose of Chosenness Today
So, is Israel still God’s chosen people? Absolutely. But being chosen does not mean immunity from judgment. The Western Nations today face rising immorality, rebellion, and spiritual blindness. As ancient Israel was judged for disobedience, so too will modern Israel—the West—be judged unless it repents.
Chosenness brings responsibility: to return to God’s laws, to uphold righteousness, and to prepare for the return of the King—Jesus Christ, who will rule from the restored throne of David (Luke 1:32-33), which the Covenant Israel Message affirms still exists in the West today.
Not Racial, But Covenant-Based
The Covenant Israel Message firmly rejects racism or ethnic superiority. The calling of Israel was never based on race but on God’s sovereign choice and covenant. This message is about servanthood, not segregation. It is about purpose, not privilege. It affirms that all who come to Christ in faith—regardless of race—are welcome into spiritual Israel, the household of God (Ephesians 2:19).
Yet, we must not forget the national destiny and identity of the physical House of Israel, which today lives and breathes within the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic, Scandinavian, and kindred peoples of the West.
Conclusion: Israel’s Calling Remains
Yes, Israel is still God’s chosen people—but we must understand who Israel truly is. The biblical House of Israel was never fully restored to Palestine or the Jewish people. It was scattered, regathered, and flourished in the Western Nations. The Anglo-Saxon-Celtic, Scandinavian, and related European peoples are the inheritors of the promises to Abraham, called to be servants, not masters; leaders in righteousness, not tyrants in pride.
The Covenant Israel Message invites these nations to rediscover their true identity—not for pride, but for purpose. It’s a call to repentance, revival, and righteous responsibility as God’s chosen servant people in the earth.
