Did God change His mind about the Abrahamic covenant?
No. The Abrahamic covenant remains valid and true; God has not changed His mind. Although Israel was set aside and blinded after rejecting Christ's first coming, God has not removed them from His program and will return to finish and fulfill the Abrahamic covenant.
Les teaches that God has not changed His mind about the Abrahamic covenant. In Genesis 12, God promised Abraham, "I will make of thee a great nation, I will bless thee, I will make thy name great, thou shalt be a blessing," and "in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Les explains that this covenant is still valid and true and still going to be fulfilled. Christ's first coming was to fulfill these promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but Israel rejected it and crucified their Messiah. Yet God did not turn His back on them forever. He set them aside and blinded them, but He has not taken them out of His program. He will still come back and finish the Abrahamic covenant. Les also points out that Abraham showed his humanity, and Old Testament characters were just as human as we are, not super people or far out nuts.
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
