I am beginning to wonder how to understand Israel's relationship to the nations & apply that to ourselves today. This puts the issue sharply:
The Gentiles of the Old Testament cannot be 'straight line' equivalent to the non-Christians of the New.
Reason:
List the saved Gentiles of the Old Testament:
Melchizedek, Jethro, Joseph's Pharaoh, Namaan, the inhabitants of Ninevah at the time of Jonah, Nebuchadnezzar .... etc.
Name the saved non-Christians of the New.
Ummm.
