Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Yes, and?

“I will bless those who bless you” is plainly a reference to Abraham and his Seed, in whom all the nations of the earth will be blessed. It is not a reference to the modern Jews or the secular state of Israel.

Did your prophecy teachers tell you something different?
