“Land Therapy” For Christian Zionists?...

"Land Therapy" for Christian Zionists? What does this mean? It's a kind of therapy that we recommend for those who do not believe God kept His word to give Israel the land promised to them in the Abrahamic Covenant. God made a promise to Abraham that he would give to his descendants the land of Canaan for a possession. He describes the land as follows:
"To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates-- "the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, "the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, "the Amorites, the Canaanites, ...

Was Walvoord Correct in His Assessment of the Land Promise?
Most of the focus of the church on Israel involves the land promise made in Genesis 12:7.

describing the end of the Old Covenant World.
The Psalmist takes up the question of the

Did not God make it a part of the gospel promise made to Abraham? The problem is a misunderstanding of the word “everlasting” as used in certain passages. Note: We are not discussing the medical merits of circumcision. For such matters consult your physician or urologist. We are concerned only with the theological and religious import.
How do we understand the word everlasting covenant from forever as olam is sometimes translated? See Strong’s ...
