Anyone listening to Jesus' parable of the TWO brothers understands that the Father loves both the prodigal son and the righteous son - eternal Israel.

''Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” Mark 9:38

Shortly after Pentecost...
"The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.''
