If you still believe that the Old Testament is the Word of God, as most serious Christians do, then you realize that God still has covenant promises with Israel. The OT tells us that those who curse Israel will be cursed, and those who bless Israel will be blessed. Most Christians I know still embrace that, but not to the extremes you mention.
Regarding dispensational theology promoted by JN Darby, the Exclusive Brethren, Scofield Bible, et.al., there is some value with those teachings to understand scripture, but like anything, they can be taken to the extreme.
