Being in covenant with the God of Abraham and the promises God made to him and later to Isaac, Jacob, and through Moses and the prophets, the children of Israel is unmistakable and precise. The mere promise of giving His Spirit to Israel and ONLY ISRAEL indicates that deliverance from sin and death is the reason why the Spirit is being given at all. Jesus tells His twelve disciples that the Comforter will not only be with them but be within them thus fulfilling the New Covenant promise describing God putting His Spirit in their inward parts as stated by Jeremiah. Besides language there are countless prophecies that bring this into focus. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others are clear that the promises of God reveal the reason why there's a covenant with God at all: the redemption of the Hebrew people and ONLY the Hebrew people.
There is nothing said by Israel's prophets that non-Hebrews are the concern of God. On the contrary Israel is the focus in the Hebrew Scripture as she is in the New Covenant writings including the gospels that record how God's redemption is to take place. Substitutionary sacrifice. This is outlined in the Ceremonial Law of the Mosaic Covenant. Christ died to save the Hebrew people only which is why He is the King of the Jews. If Revelation is about anything it is about Israel's deliverance from all her enemies and this includes sin and death. Jesus promised the twelve disciples they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The twelve disciples are commemorated by having their names on the foundation of the wall of New Jerusalem.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:14.
All twelve disciples of the Lamb are honored by the Lord- including Judas. And pay close attention to the words "of the lamb." This dates the twelve disciples to Jesus' 3-year ministry to Israel when He was identified by John the Baptist as the lamb of God.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
John 1:29–31.
Jesus was promised to come out of Israel to save Israel. And to Israel He came.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24.
So, let's stop adding to the Bible things it never says. At some future date Gentiles will be consumed by fire from heaven for their desire to attack again God's Chosen people.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20:7–9.
The destiny of non-Hebrews is already determined by God.
