Who are Gods 'Chosen'?

Incorrect.
When the two Jewish witnesses appear and prophesy to Israel and the world, they will finally do what Paul couldn't because of the blindness God placed on Israel and that is, to show through the Old Testament writings of Law, Psalms, and Prophets that this Jesus was truly their long-awaited Messiah and not only will "ALL Israel shall be saved (as per covenant - God keeps His Promises) but also Israel will evangelize the world as prophesied in the OT.
God's covenant with Israel and the Shabat/Sabbath is "forever" and so is their covenants.
At the Marriage Supper Israel is there by Covenant (Israel is the Bride and Church of Christ), but Gentiles are there by invitation (Matt. 22.)
There is a new covenant. The old covenant is no more. The New Testament came into full force when Jesus died,
Hebrews 9:16-17 KJV
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

God keeps His promise to the fathers to save Israel through Jesus - but no longer the physical nation of Israel, but spiritual Israel through the graphing into the original branch - Jews and gentiles. Romans 11:1-36 KJV

I hope you don't mind if I ask a question about your conclusion.
Who died for the old testament to come into force?

They are the same...
Jeremiah 31:31-33
“31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

This text contains the basic elements of both covenants and also helps in understanding them.

The old covenant has the time, "I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt".
It has the covenant partners, "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:"
It has the covenant objective, "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
It has the covenant conditions, "my law"
Now let’s look at the new covenant in Hebrews 8:8-10:
Hebrews 8:8-10:
“8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"

Using the same passage which is repeated, the same elements are found for the New Testament...
