It’s always been about faith; the Abrahamic faith. (Or the faith of Abraham, if you prefer.)
Has the church today the body of Christ replaced and will receive all of Israel's promises?Yes. I’m saying that the body of Christ is the true Israel of God.

What is spiritual Israel? Is the church considered to be spiritual Israel? What is the difference between national Israel and spiritual Israel?www.gotquestions.org
Israel hasn’t been replaced. Unbelieving Israel has been cut off. The promises made to Israel haven’t changed. Unbelieving Israel can repent and receive those promises.
The land is promised to faithful Abraham and to his seed (Messiah Jesus and all who belong to him.)
Faith is in the God who promised it.
“Peter, James, and John. Paul and his missionary companion, Barnabas. All of these men were Jews, though we identify them with ‘the origins of Christianity.’ … Committed to their movement’s core prophecy - ‘The times are fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and trust in the good news!’ …
Now linking the Kingdom’s imminent arrival to the victorious return of their messiah, these followers raced to proclaim the good news in what they were sure was a brief wrinkle in time, the Spirit-charged gap between the raising of Jesus and his glorious second coming. They would continue the mission of Jesus by spreading the message of the coming Kingdom in the unpredictably short period between ‘now’ and ‘soon.’”
(Paula Fredriksen, When Jews Were Christians: The First Generation, p.1,2)
Even the author, an unbelieving Jew, recognizes and acknowledges that the primitive Christian movement was united in the “core prophecy” about the kingdom of God.
Newbies, please don’t he confused or turn away from the gospel of the kingdom of God.
Those who are telling you that it isn’t for you are not aligned with Jesus and the apostles.
There is only one gospel. It is for you and it is for all.
Listen to and believe Jesus and the apostles preaching the gospel.

Jesus never told Paul to preach the Davidic kingdom on earth was at hand....it was postponed by this dispensation of grace
There’s only one gospel and there’s only one kingdom. All who belong to Jesus will believe the one gospel and will reign with him in the one kingdom.
There is no division.
