Are the promises God gave to Israel earthly or heavenly?
The promises God gave to Israel are earthly. Scripture divides Israel and the Body of Christ: Israel is earthly, and all her promises are earthly. The New Testament Grace Age Church, the Body of Christ, is heavenly, and its promises are heavenly.
Les explains that God has divided everything in Scripture into two areas: the nation of Israel, which is earthly, and the Body of Christ, the New Testament Grace Age Church, which is heavenly. He says Israel is earthly and all her promises are earthly, while believers in the Body of Christ are citizens of heaven and all their promises are heavenly. He points to the Abrahamic covenant wording—count the dust of the earth and count the stars of heaven—as showing these two divided areas.
