God's "Israel"

It is wonderful to believe God calls Israel "Israel" even though He says "Israel has sinned" in the spirit that brings His word today. That He has a way to regard those who prophesies of the past and Christ's teachings showed that a divide had grown between God and His people like between a husband and unfaithful wife and so much water flowed under the bridge since Christ came and was crucified there seems to be now a people God can again call Israel. Yet in Christ's teachings recorded by John in his Gospel (chapter 8 as our chapter divisions make it today) the teaching from God the Father is that only those who are set free (and truth from His teachings sets free, He said, those who hold to His teachings and believe in Him) can truly be children of God. So I can only conclude the fact a spirit from God can say of Israel "Israel" calling the nation by that name again and saying their mass surveillance over them shows God is dealing with them today that this must mean the ones He calls Israel have held to Christ's teachings and been set free from lies and hating. Redemption. The wind is in the leaves of the Sycamore Tree. The Fig Tree is putting out its buds. Spring is surely near. There is no division though in that all are one who are thus in Christ, whether from Israel biologically or from any other race.
