Let's be careful and remember that many Israelites were killed by God in the dessert for disobedience. Also the majority of Jews today reject Christ. The Jews were chosen that out of them the Messiah would come. However many of them reject Christ and are in hell because of it. This is meant as an example for us all. God will try with all of us, not just Israel. As the new covenant says, true Israel is Christ and His believers. Christ believers are the true sons of God the true sons of Abraham. The northern kingdom were among the ones who came back to their land. Babylon invaded Assyria and all the Jews were mixed in. Example is Luke 2:36 Anna a prophetess from the tribe of Asher. In order for physical Israel to be right with God they must believe in Christ as messiah, if not they are than damned. At the second coming of Christ it'll be too late. The new covenant teaches that the chosen ones are all those in Christ. It's a choice.
