You can keep trying to push the NEW CREATURE back into Israel's past. But you will be unsuccessful.
Paul explained that those who do not have Christ's Spirit are not his. However, Christ's body drank of the Spirit that followed them.
For He said, “Surely they are My people,
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
In all their affliction He was afflicted,
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.
Then he remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who brought them up out of the sea
With the shepherd of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them...(Isaiah 63:8-11)
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
In all their affliction He was afflicted,
And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit;
So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.

With the shepherd of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them...(Isaiah 63:8-11)
Those with the Holy Spirit were Christ's body, they belonged to Christ.
