The Abrahamic Covenant Nature Literal Eternal Blood Covenant Promises  (Gen. 12 & 13) A National Land Redemption (national and universal) Numerous descendents from a great nation Gentile “general” blessings
Premillenial doctrine Literal fulfillment of Covenant God will restore them to that place of blessing when his “program” with the church is terminated. A/C Eschatological Implications

“ Abba, Father…” Jesus said: “  Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.” Mark 14:36 Paul said: “ And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galations 4:6 Paul repeated: “ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15

Eternal (Called so by God Ezekiel 16:60) Promises  (Deut. 30:1-10) A National Land God takes Israel’s relation to the land as a matter of extreme importance. Redemption (national and universal) Has the guarantee of God that He will effect the necessary conversion essential to its fulfillment.
P/C Eschatological Implications Israel has experienced the dispersions as judgments for unfaithfulness. Israel has experienced partial restoration to the land and awaits final restoration .
