But when you read the Bible as it was intended to be read you see that the exclusivity of covenant with Israel was to bless every nation (Gen. 12:2; Zech. 8:13). And, as we have already seen, the nation of Israel’s covenant with God is fulfilled, not by a geopolitical treaty, but in a Person, Jesus Christ. At the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, a new era of the covenant between God and his people came into being. Believers from every tribe, tongue, and nation would be called sons of God.
