Pardon is in sharp contrast to justification, or acquittal, which comes through the Judge of all, on the  grounds of grace and faith, and from which there can be no fall, as it places us beyond the sphere of down judgment.

Pardon is represented in Scripture by repentance and baptism would lead to a probationary pardon, which may be withdrawn. Jesus Christ proclaimed this pardon as King; we find its operation is illustrated by the parable of the 10,000 talents debtor. (Matthew 18:27-34)

the debtors debt was remitted, but he refused to remit the smaller Psalm which his fellow slave. The remission of his debt was then canceled. So it is with Israel during this present era. Many Israelis received the pardon of their sins, but they refused to share their pardon with other nations, they outright objected to the converts like Cornelius. They did not even allow anyone from the nations to enter the sanctuary. When someone from the nations would try to enter the sanctuary they would seek to kill them. Those, whom refused to pardon the converts sins, cause their own sins not to be pardoned. There was no longer room for repentance, but fearful expectation of down judgment.

This is why pardon is different from justification or what we know as acquittal. In justification the proclamation comes from the judge himself on the grounds of grace and faith. It places the believer beyond the sphere of judgment. This acquittal is conciliation, and it is immeasurably beyond any pardon, as it places us in God's grace. When the believer receives this conciliation they are reconciled to God. This reconciliation is irreverent of their acts, and is based on the faith of Jesus Christ that they have received of him. Those whom receive justification are judged as qualified irreverent of their sins. This is in sharp contrast to how God is dealing with Israel while Jesus Christ was on the Earth, and during the Pentecostal period of God's mercy to Israel.

Israel refused Jesus Christ as the son of David, and heir to his throne. They refused him as their King, and they did not accept his resurrection. Throughout acts we find that Israel refuses the Kingdom and their King over and over again. This is why the book of Acts starts out with the proclamation to Israel in mercy after the rejection of Christ, and ends in Israel being set aside, and Paul being raised up to preach grace to the nations. God moves from the sphere of earthly blessings, with an earthly kingdom, and Israel's King sitting on the throne of David, to heavenly blessings that produce earthly blessings for the nations.

Israel, those chosen after the disruption of the world, and those chosen before the disruption of the world are now in sharp contrast. The nations will now have the opportunity of salvation. Although Israel is the bride of Jesus Christ, and they are expecting to be born again into the kingdom, we are the body, a new creation in Christ Jesus.

God uses the company of those chosen before the foundation/disruption of the world to provoke Israel and to jealousy. As the predestined company through grace the nations inherit salvation. As this grace company we should not become high-minded, knowing that in the time to come Israel will again rule the nations. The only comfort we have is to know that those chosen before the foundation of the world will be resurrected before Israel is to rule during the Kingdom of God on Earth. Not all the people of the nations were chosen before the foundation of the world, only first-fruits.

During the time of the Kingdom, when Jesus Christ will sit on the throne of Israel, here on Earth, there will still be unbelievers of the nations. The Old Testament tells us that during this time Israel will rule the earth with an iron Rod. The nations will be judged by the law of righteousness, and they will serve Israel and its King, Jesus Christ.

As the un-circumcision we should not become prideful. Not to say that we shouldn't rejoice and give thanks, but we should not boast over Israel. For God will be true and faithful to his bride. And we have been granted an opportunity, and this opportunity only comes by grace and not merit. So if we are to boast let us boast in the works of Jesus Christ, not placing these works over Israel in some unfair way. But thanking God, who justifies us irreverent of our sins by the work of Jesus Christ and his faith. For if we are to glory let us glory in Christ work, and let us see our true place in God's will. For it is God in us, both to will and to do, of his good pleasure. And to him shall we give the praise, Amen.
