Their only hope is to receive the gospel from faithful believers.

We are definitely to be faithful to share the gospel with ALL non-believers.

The point is that he isn't done with Israel or the Jewish people. Far from it according to Romans 11. Romans 11:1-2 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew..." And in the very end of the age an entire remnant of Israel will witness the Lord's return and cry "Baruch Haba Bashem Adonai!"

The point is that he isn't done with Israel or the Jewish people. Far from it according to Romans 11. Romans 11:1-2 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew..."

You should not have stopped reading. (:5ff)

"Even so at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6* And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 7* What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it (Romans 11:5-7b)

God foreknew who would respond in faith. These are the children of promise, not the children of the flesh. Jesus in chapter 6 of John says that the faithful sons of Abraham who know God, will know him and accept him.

Here are some other verses confirming just who Israel really is:

16* Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17* And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18* For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise...28* There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29* And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:16-29)

There is now neither Jew nor Gentile, according to the flesh, but simply spiritual Israel, according to the promise. Modern day Israel is a country of non-believers. It is NOT the Israel of God (and it is blasphemy to say so: see Revelation 2:8, 3:9)
