Who is the nation that replaced the nation of Israel as God's chosen people?

(Matthew 21:43) “43 This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits. . .”

(1 Peter 2:7-10) “7 It is to you, therefore, that he is precious, because you are believers; but to those not believing, “the stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone” 8 and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They are stumbling because they are disobedient to the word. To this very end they were appointed. 9 But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies” of the One who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 For you were once not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not been shown mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

The spiritual nation of Israel not the nation of natural Israel. For centuries God dealt exclusively with natural Israel, time and again sending his prophets to the nation so that the people might turn from their wayward course. Finally he sent his Son, Christ Jesus, but the majority rejected him. Therefore, Jesus said to the unbelieving chief priests and Pharisees: “The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits.”​—Mt 21:33-43.

The apostle Peter clearly identified that “nation” as one composed of persons who had accepted Christ Jesus. (1Pe 2:4-10) In fact, Peter applied to fellow Christians the very words that had been directed to natural Israel: “You are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession.’”

Notice the sequence: Mt. 21:43, Col. 1:13, 2 Pet. 1:11.

Jesus commanded His Apostles to "Go forth and make disciples of ALL peoples".

None. Israel has NOT been replaced. The invitation was extended to all Gentiles to enter in as well, but it WAS NOT displaced.

BARJONA is the CHURCH/NATION Christ built on Simon Peter Barjona and Peter's descendants as was with Jacob and ISRAEL. Peter's DESCENDANTS are his successors, NOT the popes. All who are saved enters the Kingdom, not the Church. The Kingdom is more important.

GOD and CHRIST ordained Simon Peter Barjona, the last major Prophet. Simon Peter Barjona's DESCENDANTS are his successors, NOT the popes. The NATION/CHURCH, the Keys of Kingdom, and Peter's authority are with BARJONA(Simon Peter's seed) as was with Jacob and ISRAEL. If you're looking for today's prophet, look among Simon Peter Barjona's descendants.
