God does not currently call Israel 'My people' because they are in unbelief and out of fellowship with Him.
According to Les Feldick, Israel is temporarily set aside due to their rejection of the Messiah and unbelief. God refers to them as 'thy people' when speaking to Daniel and Moses, rather than 'my people.' This will change when Israel comes to belief at Christ's Second Coming, and God will again call them 'My people.'
Exodus 3:7 — Shows God calling Israel 'my people' in the Old Testament.
Daniel 9:24 — Les notes God calls Israel 'thy people' to Daniel.
Zechariah 8:8 — Prophecy that God will again say 'It is my people.'
Romans 9:25-26 — Paul quotes Hosea regarding 'not my people' and future status.
In the Old Testament, God often referred to Israel as 'my people' (e.g., Exodus 3:7). However, due to their unbelief and disobedience, God set them aside. In Daniel, God refers to Israel as 'thy people' (Daniel 9:24), showing a distance. The prophets foretold a future restoration when God would again call them 'my people' (Zechariah 8:8, Hosea 1:9-10).
Les Feldick teaches that Israel is currently out of fellowship with God because of their unbelief and rejection of the Messiah. God does not call them 'my people' but refers to them as 'thy people' when speaking to Daniel and Moses. This is temporary; at the Second Coming, when Israel repents and believes, God will again call them 'my people.' Les emphasizes that Israel is still God's covenant people, though set aside for now.
Les Feldick explains that 'not my people' reflects Israel's unbelief and distance from God. In the Old Testament, they were called 'my people' when in fellowship, but after their obstinacy, God told Moses 'thy people' and Daniel 'thy people.' This indicates a break in the intimate relationship.
Yes, Les teaches that when Israel returns in complete belief at the Second Coming, God will once again call them 'my people.' He cites Zechariah where God says 'It is my people.' This is yet future, but certain.
Church vs. Israel distinction
Les compares God's address to the Galatian churches ('churches of Galatia') with the more intimate 'church of God' for other congregations, illustrating God's varying level of fellowship with His people.
Israel called 'thy people' not 'my people'
Les directly states God does not call Israel 'my people' today but 'thy people' as seen with Daniel, yet a future day is coming when they will be called 'my people' with a new heart.
Future restoration as God's people
Les explains that when Israel calls on God's name, He will hear and say 'It is my people,' contrasting with times when God said 'You are not my people.'
Gentiles and God's people
Les clarifies that God currently calls out a people from the Gentiles, but the intimate term 'my people' is reserved for Israel after their restoration.
Why the Old Testament Never Mentions the Church Age
So when God called Abraham, I usually remember just sort of pull it off like this, He's going to make them a special race of people, the nation of Israel, or as we have come to know them, the Jew. And I always put it this way, Jew only, with the exceptions. And God will make exceptions during this 2 ,000 year period of time, but they're rare.
Israel still covenant people
Les affirms Israel is still God's covenant people despite being set aside, and they remain connected to the Bible's prophecies.

When God back here in the Old Testament says, My people, who is He talking about? The Jew. And I think you all realize that now. He's not talking about those pagans all around Israel. He's talking about His people, Israel, My people, His covenant people. And so He says, I have seen the affliction of My people. I have heard their cry by reason of their taskmaster, for I know their sorrows.
God’s Promise to Abraham: Understanding Genesis 12 & 15
I don't know one, I've only, I guess, known one in all my life, and it was a young gentleman while I was in service, and I didn't even know he was a Jew. But I love the nation of Israel simply because the Bible says to. They are His covenant people, and once we understand what we're going to be showing over the next several weeks, I think you will agree with me that it is a blessing indeed to unde…
Exodus 3:7: And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
In the Old Testament, God calls Israel 'my people' when they are in fellowship and in need of deliverance.
Daniel 9:24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
God refers to Israel as 'thy people' when speaking to Daniel, indicating a separation due to their unbelief.
Zechariah 8:8: And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Prophecy that God will again call Israel 'my people' in the future.
Hosea 1:9: Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
God declares Israel 'not my people' due to their disobedience.
God called Israel 'not my people' because of their disobedience and unbelief. This is seen in Hosea 1:9. It indicates a separation from God until they repent and are restored.
Yes, according to Bible prophecy and Les Feldick's teaching, at the Second Coming when Israel repents, God will again call them 'my people.' This is promised in Zechariah 8:8 and discussed by Les from the transcripts.
