Considering that since the LAND God promised to Abraham's descendants [the Promised LAND] is THE ENTIRE EARTH... --
"It is clear, then, that GOD'S PROMISE TO GIVE THE WHOLE EARTH TO ABRAHAM and HIS DESCENDANTS was not based on obedience to God's Law, but on the new relationship with God that comes by Faith... So that's why Faith is key! God's Promise is given TO US as a free gift. And WE ARE CERTAIN TO RECEIVE IT... if we have Faith like Abraham's. For ABRAHAM IS THE FATHER OF ALL WHO BELIEVE." (Rom.4:13-16 NLT New Living Translation)
"The REAL CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, then, are ALL THOSE WHO PUT THEIR FAITH IN GOD." (Gal.3:7 NLT)
"And now that you belong to Christ [through Faith], YOU ARE THE TRUE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM. YOU ARE HIS HEIRS, and now ALL THE PROMISES GOD GAVE HIM BELONG TO YOU." (verse 29)
-- ...therefore... the map of Israel that God promised to Abraham and his descendants LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A MAP OF THE WORLD!
He said ,this child is the prophet promised in testament , he would be displaced from his city .
This promise was made to Abraham in the Bible, who is considered the father of the nation of Israel. God's covenant with Abraham included the promise of numerous descendants and blessings for his offspring. The fulfillment of this promise is seen in the establishment and growth of the nation of Israel throughout history.
god promised he would never flood the earth again!

Israel
Matt promised Israel that he would find a way to keep his family together and take care of them after Israel passed away.
God promised Abraham a land and a "seed" (son). One way that God kept that promise was to give Abraham a son named Isaac (even though he was too old to have children). He also kept His promise to give the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants. The New Testament says that these promises had an even greater fulfillment when Jesus came. It teaches that Jesus is the son of Abraham through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed. The New Testament also says that Jesus would not only rule over the land of Israel but over the whole earth.
Judah was promised he would become as powerful as a lion and rule over others. The Messiah, the one promised to deliver all the people from sin would come from Judah's family.

yes. God promised Abraham, the father of Israel, that the land was his. Therefore, since God promised Abraham that his seed would inherit, Jews believe that Israel is theirs based on God's promise. Either they inherit, or God is a liar, take your choice. The land grant was never recinded.
Israel
Abraham is the father of the Nation of Israel. God promised that He would make a nation from him whose descendants could not be numbered.
