Too often Christians today mix the OT and NT and are mislead. The Old Covenant was abolished in it’s entirety and completely replaced with The New Covenant in Christ, The New Testament.

Since Christ’s coming, the Jews are just like everyone else to God. They are no longer elevated above any others. They have the same opportunity to come to the Father through the Son that everyone else does. It defies common sense (& the Scriptures) to maintain that those who deny the Son and thereby deny the Father would then be favored by God.

Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. :17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: :21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

The only thing that was abolished at the coming and death of Jesus on the cross was the sacrificial system of payment for sin.

Nowhere in Scripture is it written that the death of Jesus Christ voided both the Old and New Testament promises He made to His people. Nowhere is that found.

We have proof of the holiness and faithfulness of God with the fact that He promised to bring His people from around the world back into their own land and re-establish their nation. He fulfilled His promise to give them back their nation on May 14, 1948, and He is continually bringing His people back to Israel, thus fulfilling that promise as well.

And all His promises that He made to His people will be kept - including the fact that the tiny sliver of their land will explode into the Jews having several present-day nations during the Millennial Kingdom when Jesus gives them all the land He promised them.

So, there is nothing in Scripture which tells us that Jesus has broken His promises to His people, and nothing in Scripture that says they ceased to be His chosen people and the apple of His eye. And rest assured, the promise He made to them in Genesis 12:3 is still very much alive and in effect.
