Although most civilizations throughout history are extinct, the Jews have been held together throughout, and God is not done with them as a people.  As unfaithful as the Jews were in their rejection of the Messiah, his covenant promise remains that all of those whom he calls will be saved. Nobody is beyond his reach, and his promises and plan will not fail.  Just as the Gentiles were very far away 2000 years ago, the Gospel turned the world upside down, and the same will be true for the Jews in that a great multitude of them will be saved at the appointed time.
