You are wrong. God promised Israel the land to time indefinite.
LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 15for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.
This wasn't a new heaven or a new Earth. That is why they say Israel broke the covenant with Jesus. That is not true because Jesus wasn't fulfilling the covenant arrangement given to the Israelites by God. The Israelites weren't performing false worship. You can't take the statement of a few people at Jesus's trial by the Romans to represent the view of all Jews when they said we have no king but Caesar. No evidence that the Jews of the Second temple ever broke the covenant arrangement with God. Lots of Evidence that they were abandoned by god despite his promises.
Yes they did preform false worship by not having their hearts in it and just going through the motions, they even had money changers at the temple thus desecrating the temples. All these things they did many times in the past. And God punished them but brought a chosen remnant back into the land he promised just like how today the Jewish people are back in the land he promised them
Seriously they didn't have their hearts in it and were going through the motions? That's why god abandoned them. They fought for over 500 years the ruling authority for their autonomy. They had been fighting wars with the ruling nation since the Greeks. The Macabean wars all the way up to Masada. Trust me if you commit suicide after the Romans pull off a Miracle of engineering like God was on their side you you were all in. If not all of those people would have subjugated themselves to Cesar. They didn't because they believe with all their heart God was going to deliver them. I don't get it the Christian Greek Scriptures fail the test worst than the Hebrew scriptures and that entire Hebrew scriptures admittedly by all is 90% hogwash. Yet we scare people with the thought that their eternal salvation is hindering on them believing. Sorry but you CAN'T HOLD PEOPLE TO ACCOUNT WITHOUT SOME ACCOUNTABILITY THAT'S MY MESSAGE TO JESUS or whoever wants to condemn me to hell.
God did not abandon them. He PUNISHED THEM and TREATED them according to the covenant that he made with there ancestors. The israelites did all manner of shit they should not have done
If god decides to throw your ass in hell there is nothing you can do about it, lucky for you he is merciful so you can escape hell if you really want to. Who do you think you are??? GOD OWES no one accountability he can do what he wants with who he wants how he wants, once again we are lucky he is merciful.
WHAT TEST??? The flawed nonsense you have talked about in this thread and others
