Are the things concerning Abraham and Israel earthly or spiritual?
The things concerning Abraham and his earthly people, the nation of Israel, are always earthly. They involve a nation of people, a geographical area, and God's purposes fulfilled through them. Their promises are earthly, not spiritual, and they will not disappear until all things are fulfilled.
Les explains that whenever he teaches about Abraham, he points out that all the things concerning Abraham and his earthly people, the nation of Israel, are always earthly. God promised Abraham a nation of people that would bring about the Redeemer and the King, along with the nation and their geographical area, and through it all God's purposes would be fulfilled. The Greek word geneo means the race, the breed, the nation of Israel, and the promise is that this breed shall not pass or disappear until all things be fulfilled. Even though all the nations of the Middle East are against them, the world is turning against them, and they are intermarrying at an alarming rate, God's promise from the Creator Himself guarantees that they will not disappear until everything is fulfilled.
