This is the hinge the whole Bible turns on, and God's plan of redemption is going to be revealed by.
From Genesis 12 till the end of Revelation, God is fulfilling what He revealed to this man who lived in what is modern day Iraq, but God calls him out of there to show him the land of what is modern day Israel and actually much bigger than its present borders, and the purpose of that nation was and is to bless all the nations on the planet through Abram and his seed physically and spiritually. Why did God choose to use the Jews, and why is He not through with the Jews? Because it's not just about a people or about Palestine, it is about a plan, a promise, a prophecy, to take people who were not a nation and to make them a nation, to take an Iraqi named Abram and to make him the father of future Israelites, to call out a people from idol worship to the worship of Yahweh, and to use this family of Abram and his future family to bless all the families of earth! Galatians 3:8 says the gospel was preached to Abraham with these words “in You all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.” Those words were the preaching of the gospel to Abraham about the blessing of the gospel, the blessing of the Messiah to come from his family and lineage in the future. God did not choose the Jews because God was exclusive or narrow or because He had a small plan for just one nation on a little strip of land in the Middle East for thousands of years until Jesus came. He from the very beginning had a global plan for ethnic descendants of Abraham to bless every ethnicity on earth, so people from every tribe and tongue and nation would become spiritual descendants of Abraham
