"CONFIRMING THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT??"


In reply to the 10/12 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2010/abeo1012.htm the about the Arab leadership, or the UN, or another group/person confirming that Israel is the the home of the Jews promised to Abraham by Yahweh, the land promised to Abraham by Yahweh not only included the present day Israel, but the land eastward to the Euphrates River and westward to the river in Egypt (Nile River) according to Genesis 15:18.  Since they presently want to divide Israel into two states so that that there is the Jewish state of Israel and a separate state of Palestine, I don't see how the Abrahamic Covenant could be confirmed since Israel's boundaries are much larger under the Abrahamic Covenant.
 
Also according to Daniel 11:41-45, Edom and Moab in present day Jordan escape out of the hand of the little horn although he stretches forth his hand upon the countries and the land of Egypt shall not escape.  He also plants the tabernacles of his palaces between the seas in that glorious holy mountain which would be in Jerusalem.    In fact verse 44 says that tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many.
 
Since Daniel 9:27 refers to both confirming the covenant with many for one week, and in the midst of the week causing the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, it sound more like Mosaic Covenant of animal sacrifice for sins which is no longer required because our Lord Jesus was the one pure sacrifice for all mankind's sins.
