The article says:

“In that day (not the same day God made the original promise) Jehovah made a covenant
with Abraham, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto
the great river, the Euphrates” (Gen 15:18). This promise was completely fulfilled after
the Israelites returned from Egypt.

I pose the question. If the promise was “completely fulfilled”, then why is it that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others, more than a thousand years after the covenant was made with Abraham and more than seven hundred years after Joshua entered the promised land, speak of the return of the house of Judah and Israel to their “land”. The author leaves out a critical time gap from 931 BC during the reign of Solomon when the Kingdom of Solomon was split into the two houses and the dispersal of the house of Israel in 721 AD, until 70 AD when the remaining predominantly house of Judah was dispersed from the land. The two houses lost the inheritance due to idolatrous practices and are now in the process of returning to the land inheritance a second time. That is what redemption is -— the return to the land inheritance. It also occurs during a Jubilee year. The beginning of the seventh day Shabbat (mellinium) of rest here on planet earth.

Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Isa 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Jer 23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Eze 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

Blessings in your search for TRUTH

All that you say has been fulfilled. Remember, it was always "conditional" - do this and live, do this and I'll restore your nation, etc. Every promise made by God to man was always based upon conditions. Even the promises of Jesus to man were conditional when he was on earth. All of the Letters in the NT presented rewards that were conditioned upon something or other.
