God says in His Word, the Bible, that He will NEVER forsake His people. He will chastise them but never forsake them.

Sounds like Christian Zionist biblical cherry picking. The problem with Christianity since the middle ages, poor hermenutics, lack of perspective on the time and culture the OT was written. God frequently spoke of “Israel” but his meaning became broader and broader as the revelation of Jesus Christ became known to mankind. Its antithetical to the message of Jesus and then Paul his apostle to say that any ONE group of people is favored, special or protected by God. The Old Covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. I am sure the Pharisees said the same thing 70 A.D. as Rome was sacking their temple and throwing Jewish bodies into Gehenna . “Hey we are special..you can’t do that”. God loves Israel, America , Luxembourg and Japan equally. You don’t get that, you don’t get the gospel.
