The true Israel are Christians and only those that are the saved by the grace of Christs atonement, not the legalistic Christ rejecting Jew, please go to Romans 2:28-29, Romans 9:6-7,
Also in regard to the 144,000 jews that are saved in the time of the great tribulation and the fact that the Christians that have been raptured mid point of the tribulation are already in heaven, the angel asks the retorical question about these late arrivals, who and where did they come from? Rev 7:13.
Notice he's asking specifically about these late arrivals and the reason given was that this little band went through the great tribulation, the last 3.5yrs of wrath, therein lies the difference.
Read Chpt 7, 144,000 protected and saved, "but the multitudes are in heaven around the throne, marriage supper, etc", then in Rev 7:13-14 we have the later inclusion of the 144,000 who do go through the great tribulation of Gods wrath, the final times time and half a time.
The number of true Israelites is far less than you are led to believe, in fact this must be the 1/3 spoken of in the old testament, there is very suspicious historical evidence that lends support to this theory which is in actuality fact.
Not all Israel are Israel is a true scriptural statement, the question I'm positing is, apart from the spiritual is this also true for the Israel of the flesh?
This may sound murky and strange but it is true and throws a spanner into our accepted ideas of what reality is, it's a deep issue, maybe it's not advisable to go there!

Zechariah 13:7-9
Zechariah 13
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
