As for "no covenant with the US", Ohio is right, as stated in the Abrahamic covenant: "blessing on those who bless Israel." Part of the Abrahamic covenant v.3 "and in the all families of the earth be blessed". That's us. That's the Gentiles. So, incorporating by reference, the US is indeed included in the Abrahamic covenant because of God's people, the Gentiles, who live here.

It seems some folks don't understand that the descendants of Abraham are of two types, earthly and heavenly, as the scripture says, "will number the sand of the seashore, and the stars of heaven." (Genesis 22.17) Abraham has both children in the flesh and children of faith. The Christian believers are the children of faith, and the Jews are children of the flesh.

These only the positive descendants of Abraham, spoken of in scripture. Abraham also has a multitude of offspring thru Ishmael, many of which are today's Muslims. And unfortunately many today who have Jewish blood from Abraham neither believe in God nor love Israel. In fact, many of the greatest enemies to the faith and to the Jews, and for that matter the entirety of Western Judean Christian civilization, have Jewish blood.

The statement occasionally arises concerning how someone with Jewish ancestry can be anti-semitic. But was not Hitler himself a quarter Jewish?
