Jesus acknowledged that the Jews were the descendants of Abraham, but that they weren’t the “children of Abraham” or the “children of God” anymore, but the “children of the devil”. Since Abraham is not their father, but the devil is, the promises that God gave to Abraham of those blessing Abrahams children being blessed does not apply to the Jews. They rejected Christ and are the children of the devil and not Abraham.
In John 8:37 Jesus said “I know you are Abraham’s descendants”.
in vs. 38, “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did.”
In vs 42, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God.
In vs 44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.“
Mind if I add my video I published yesterday to the defense of this post?

It contains a bunch of Church Fathers and other theologians defending the exegesis of the OP.
Pepe, do you want me to review this one? I've stated that you're doing much better with keeping things in line but the OP goes over the line and I'm concerned that if I started dialoging with you again we'd be in the same circle as before.
Over the line?? A covenant is two sided, the Israelites have to obey God to have the blessings in it. The Jews follow a ideology that Jesus said made them the "children of the devil".
Even if God specified the promise land still belonged to the "biological jews", It still wouldn't rightfully belong to the Jews because they rejected Christ and are the "children of the devil". They would have to accept Christ first to have the land mandate to be given to them by God.
Did you even read Ezekiel 36:24-26 and context?
Yes, it speaks of the return of Israel from Babylon.
