While the House of Israel was "divorced" and scattered, the House of Judah remained unbroken in its covenant with God. Previous works have addressed the inclusion of Gentiles and the intended peace between them and Judah. This study emphasizes the distinction between being chosen, national covenantal standing, and Messianic salvation.
