My humble opinion is that your post was beautiful,
but didn’t deal with God’s specific promises. Even
if everything you wrote is absolutely true, God
not only said it, HE passed through the pieces of
the sacrifice ALONE as an unconditional covenant.
He also specified the exact boundaries. He also
stated it would be a possession “forever”.

If God breaks this specific promise to the descendants
of Abram, then you have no right to think He would
fulfill any promise He made to YOU.

I can hear him saying now, “Lex, yes, I said that about
salvation, but you are seeing the hand and not the
shadow... it was just an allegory.”

The hand remains per the promise in a literal sense, yet at a very high cost. Recall in the Gospels that in response to Pontius Pilate's declaration that he washes his hands of the blood of our Lord, those clamoring for His death called down upon themselves a curse: "Let his blood be on us and our children!" (Matt. 27:25)

That isn't antisemitism, that's simply what the Scriptures state. Therefore the unrest depicted in some end times scenarios may indeed play out to the tune of a tragic and horrifying cost in human life, yet within the bounds of providence.
