Premillennialism, and Dispensationalism in particular, lays great stress on the so-called unfulfilled promises of the Abrahamic covenant and insists that the lawful heirs of these promises are the physical descendents of the faithful patriarch, regardless of their own faithlessness and rebellion against God. To the contrary, this little book argues that, just as the true beneficiaries of a dead man's will are identified only by a careful examination and strict adherence to the stipulations of the document, so too are the heirs of the Abrahamic promises to be determined. The author demonstrates from the Old Testament itself that the unbelieving Jews were cut off from any covenantal relationship with Abraham in the First Century and therefore have no claim whatsoever to the benefits thereof until they come to faith in Christ and are grafted back into the "Israel of God" as it is now manifested to the world in the Christian Church.
