We have a salvation saga, beginning with the fall of Adam and Eve, God’s promise to Abraham, the covenant with Israel and culminating with the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.

The claim on Israel as a Jewish homeland fails on the biblical front as St. Paul made it clear that Christians aren’t dependent on ethnicity, but belief and practice.

Ultimately, when God told Abraham that his descendants would outnumber the stars in the sky, he meant the Church. And since Jesus clearly says “No one comes to the father except through me,” that would augur against dispensationalism, which is a heresy.

What are anyone’s thoughts on Deuteronomy 1:7-8?

I ask that due to the land reaching Euphrates is also given to Israel according to scripture.

Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negeb and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’
