So apparently the entire Old Testament means nothing to you.
What was the point of separating out Israel as a nation separated from the world if, by a few Gentiles showing their faith, their (Israel's) Messiah would just go against everything he had done over the previous 1500 years, so that...
He states that he is "anti-abortion," but is willing to sign into law a "heartbeat bill" that will not save any children who have no detectable heartbeat (simply because they are not developed enough)...
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.”So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. - Galatians 3:8-9...

The Kingdom of Israel was always and will always be an "earthly" kingdom. It was never a "heavenly" kingdom. Never would be.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
Then you aren't agreeing with me.
Saing it doesn't make it so.
Then you clearly don't know Paul's epistles.
Not even close.
Wrong.
Then you don't know my position.
Indeed. You seem to ignore it, though.
Supra.
Wrong.
Where did I say that?
Supra.
LIAR. Go read post #48, where I did, in fact, quote and address 28.
Where did I do such a thing? Either support your accusation, or retract it, because bearing false witness is a sin.
Guess what! They largely ignored that command of His!
