Gen. 17:7 Many people make the error of suggesting that with the establishment of the New Covenant, Christ's Covenant with the Church, that the Church has replaced Israel, becoming a new spiritual  Israel. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The Abrahamic Covenant is not a temporary one. God says it is everlasting, drawing its eternal nature from the character of God Himself. "I will keep my covenant," assures us that even when Israel false into apostasy and fails to maintain their obedience, God will keep His promise to Abraham. In part, God has already kept it in bringing a great number of people to an incomparable blessing through the faith in God's promises that Abraham had, but at the same time, God is not yet finished with Israel. He will keep a portion for Himself, who will be instrumental in the final days, spreading the Gospel to a world facing God's wrath. They will once again become a great nation, serving the Lord in His kingdom.
