no I disagree. The bible disagrees. The covenant with Abraham is being fulfilled through Jesus our Christ. It is not about the literal land of Israel, but about the promise land to come.
Nowhere in the New Covenant, nowhere in the NT, do they speak of land as a promise, but the promise is our hope in Jesus, and the new Jerusalem to come. There are a remnant of Jews to come to Christ, and when all those destined for salvation are saved, (non-Jews also) Christ will return.
THERE ARE NOT TWO COVENANTS.
THERE ARE NOT TWO CHOSEN GROUPS OF GOD, JUST ONE.
YOU ARE OF THE CHOSEN IF YOU SUBMIT YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, AND ARE BORN AGAIN.
HIS PROMISE OF A HOLY LAND TO COME ARE FOR THIS CHOSEN GROUP. IT IS NO LONGER ABOUT ISRAEL AND A PHYSICAL LAND CALLED ISRAEL.
As for someone calling himself a prophet, they are to speak words to the church of encouragement, and warning. God does nothing without warning, and time for repentance.
On the other hand the full meaning of all that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus plans as Romans 11 is entirely worked out may surprise all of us!
BLB - Rom 11: Paul's Epistle - Romans 11 (Blue Letter Bible: KJV - King James Version)
Romans 11:1
¶
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
