That is symbolic for spiritual Israel Acts 24:5--they saw the new religion begin.The church was called of Israelites. The 144,000 are national Israelites, 12,000 from each tribe. When the Jews rejected Jesus he went to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" living in Galilee and Samaria, who along with some Jews formed the early church.
Paul makes clear in Romans 9, 10, and 11, that Israel is not lost and will be saved.
