The Abrahamic Covenant and The Jewish People


Dr. Couch, the Old Testament is full of the fact that the Abrahamic Covenant is a forever contract to be extended to the Jewish people in the future. How can the Covenant guys deny this and change the dynamics on that promise? 
 
    You’ve got me! It’s a mystery. It must be because of some kind of latent anti-Semitism which, of course, they would deny! I could not help but think of 2 Chronicles 20:7 where Jehoshaphat prays: “Did You not, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and give it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?”

    You cannot get any more clear than that! This covenant is an eternal one that will not be abrogated by the Lord. See Romans 11:28-29. This passage makes it certain that God will not revoke what He has said. 

    Thanks for asking.
