Who is Israel ?
Who is Israel ?
The Israel of God is all and everyone God has preserved or reserved for Himself out of the mass of mankind Rom 11:4-5
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Yes thats the Israel that receives the promises of God to Israel, its always a reserved remnant of the Election of Grace, whether they be jew or Gentile !
The same Truthis taught here Jer 50:20
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
Now that this reserved remnant also applied to Gentiles is seen here Acts 15:17
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Compare the word here residue to the word reserve in Jer 50:20 and remnant in Rom 11:5
The word reserve in Jer 50:20 is sha'ar :
The word remnant is Rom 11:5 leimma :
Acts 15:17 the word residue kataloipos :
And so that would qualify the remnant or residue of Gentiles to be classified with remnant Israel and Judah of Jer 50:20, and so we have the Lord's Israel, all people whom He reserves out of mankind from amongst the jews and the Gentiles !

Acts 15:17 the word residue kataloipos :
I.left remaining,I.remaining, the rest
And so that would qualify the remnant or residue of Gentiles to be classified with remnant Israel and Judah of Jer 50:20, and so we have the Lord's Israel, all people whom He reserves out of mankind from amongst the jews and the Gentiles !
