I heard him say last night that the church has replaced Israel. That tells you that he is a false teacher. Israel will have that land and the twelve tribes of Israel will rule and reign in the future. God said they would have that land forever and He does not lie.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. . . . And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. No matter what their racial makeup, members of God's church become Abraham's spiritual descendents because, as Jesus says, "Abraham's children . . . do the works of Abraham" (John 8:39). Jesus goes on to explain that Satan has spiritual offspring also: But now you [those in Jesus' audience] seek to kill Me. . . . You do the deeds of your father. . . . You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. (verses 40-41, 44) Satan's seed are those who do Satan's will in rebellion against God. In Ephesians 6:10-12, Paul writes of this enmity between seeds: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Genesis 3:15 prophesies of this spiritual war between God's people and Satan's. "Seed" in verse 15 is collective (like "team" or "family"), but the following pronoun, "He," is singular. As Christ's body (Romans 12:5; I Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 1:22-23), we are included as participants in the "enmity." However, the subjects of the "bruising" clauses are strictly Christ and Satan, the two leading opponents in the battle. Paul also uses "Seed" in a singular sense in writing of Christ as "Abraham's Seed" in Galatians 3:16: "Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is Christ." Revelation 12:5 illustrates the connection between the woman and the Seed: Do you think that if an jew turns his back on God he is still going to receive the benefits of the covenant God made with israel. When God made a covenant with his people there were always conditions. If the people broke the conditions then the agreement or covenant was void. Look at what happened at sinai when God made a covenant with his people. ex 19:5 IF you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant , the ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people for all the earth is mine. If they didn't keep the covenant then they have chosen to be satans seed how can they still enjoy the benefits of the covenant?

Wasn't is Paul that stated that "not all Israel was Israel"? In context meaning that not all of the nation of Israel were part of God's Isreal, that is, those who follow Him aright and are in Christ Jesus, the seed. He could just as easily have said, "not all of the church is the Church". Meaning that not all that attend or are members of Christian Churches are necessarily part of the true Body of Christ, the Church, God's Israel. We must remember that nobody will be saved because they were part of a particular culture, religion or church, they will only be saved because of what Jesus Christ has accomplished for and given to the human race, and the relationship each of us individually have come to have with God through Christ.
