My two cents on this rigorous debate:

Every promise, whether blessing or judgment, made by God is irrevocable. It is true because He speaks it. Jeepers, He spoke creation into being.

If any promise could be undone, then why would Christ have to suffer? God could have simply forgiven Adam and restored him.

But the promises cannot be undone and instead, God pours mercy upon mercy on top of the promises. Therefore although man dies because of the law of sin and death, yet we who believe in Christ live as new creatures - not born of man, nor by our own will but by His Spirit. (John 1 and Romans 8)

Likewise every promise He made to Israel will be kept, indeed, is already kept in timelessness.

Who are we Christians, the ones who started working the fields in the middle of the day, to dispute the Master if He chooses to be equally generous to the ones who didn't begin their work until the very last hour?

The Jewish people are blind to the gift of Christ that we may receive it (Romans 11). But that blindness is not permanent, if it were then God's promises would mean nothing - to them and to us.

ABSOLUTELY.

GOD'S PROMISES to

ABRAHAM

IN HONOR OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP

ARE INDEED INVIOLATE AND IRREVOCABLE.

As at least one Scripture talks about--as long as the sun, moon shine etc. . . . His Promises to Israel will apply.

Absolutely.

God's promises are more real, absolute, dependable

than the deepest most layer of granite in the Grand Canyon and deeper.
