God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
Romans 11:2 ESV
Elijah's statements in vs 3 and 4 are from 1 Kings 19:10 and 14 in which he believes he is the only faithful, living prophet left in Israel. God responded by showing his power and, in 1 Kings 19:18, saying that he had left 7000 prophets in Israel who had not surrendered to Baal. If 7000 prophets still remained, how many ordinary faithful men and women must there have also been? Even Israel at her darkest moment held many thousands of people who persevered in faithfulness to God.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
Romans 11:2 ESV
God has not rejected the physical descendants of Jacob. In Genesis 28:15, God told Jacob that he would not leave him until he had fulfilled his promises. The same principle holds true for all of God’s promises. Over and over, God said that he would temporarily repudiate Israel for rebellion and exile them from the land, but every time he also promised that he would preserve a remnant of Jacob who would repent and return to the land. This is illustrated by the reference to Elijah to whom God said that he had reserved a remnant of the prophets of Israel who had not bowed a knee to Baal.
God's covenants with Israel cannot be ended by Israel's unfaithfulness, because he promises to restore their children for the sake of those same covenants. The “people whom he foreknew” aren’t people of whom he was aware before he created them, but people with whom he has a previously established and continuing relationship. This is the primary meaning of foreknow/proginosko as Paul uses it.
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
Deuteronomy 5:29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
Psalm 119:160 All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.
Jeremiah 31:33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
