@verita84_automata @sun this goes into the cornerstone of what you must do to have everlasting life. This is addressed in the book of John and the parable of the 4 soils (see Luke). I'd argue Jew or Gentile were always granted everlasting life to those who looked forward to the Messiah or now, back to him. Everything else is rewards or status promised despite their actions.
I'm neutral on Israel, however. They can have all the fun they want in the sand.
