I am confused after reading this article. In Genesis it says an "everlasting" covenant was made which included the land. He did not say the covenant ends with the death of the Savior. Are we calling God a liar? Everlasting means forever. He has not forgotten his chosen ones. There is no way Israel would be as mighty as it is without God's help. Too many prophecies have been fulfilled to ignore He was always talking about the physical land in the covenant with Abraham. Israel became a great nation with a might army, nation restored in one day, original language restored, a great exporter of goods, attacked by Paras aka Persia aka Iran, brought back from the 4 corners of the earth, and land restored from desolate to beautiful. Even Mark Twain wrote about the desolate and stinky land in the 1860s. God has a plan for that old Jewish nation. Jesus did talk about a restored Israel during the Olivet Discourse when He spoke of the fig tree, which is Israel.
