When was the Gospel first preached, according to Paul? See Galatians 3:8. The Abrahamic Covenant was the first preaching of the Gospel and it went to Abraham. The Gentile believer is blessed with faithful Abraham not in place of faithful Abraham.

The promise of the Land of Israel to the children of Israel [the faithful physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob] was and is part of the package. It's a package deal and the Gentiles [nations], church or not, can either take it all or leave it all. If they want salvation, the children of Israel get the land as part of the promise to Abraham. No land for Israel, no blessing of salvation for the Gentile. It's all or nothing and its the Gospel truth.

I'm missing your point.
