Thus saith the Lord:
“... I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse thee...”
Gen 12:3
Israel will be cared for in spite of the apostate church.
Thus saith the Lord:
“... I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse thee...”

So be it.
Note to Christian Zionists: I think that unless you include the New Testament in your Bible study concerning Israel, you will continue to misinterpret Gen. 12:3:
Galatians 3:16: The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
Galatians 3:29: If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Romans 2:28-29 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.
Suffice to say, I think the Bible could not be clearer about what the promise made to Abraham (who is, BTW, the “father of many nations”) was pointing to — the true Promised Land:
Heb. 11:15-16 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country-a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
