For I could wish that I myself were accursed – cut off from Christ – for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen, who are Israelites. To them belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.
Romans chapters 9-11 contain no mention of the land of Palestine. So it seems that focusing on possession of the land as the primary aspect of God’s future plan for Israel is to miss the main point of Paul’s argument. It is not the land but the salvation of Israel in exchange for which Paul would gladly count himself cursed.
