Flesh and blood has nothing to do with the everlasting kingdom of Christ, nor with fulfilling prophecy of His Scriptures on earth in the book of Revelation: the fulfillment of prophecy at the Lord's return has nothing to do with the Hebrew bloodline nor the Israeli nation, other than that is the place the Lord has prophesied Himself coming to destroy the armies of earth gathered again Him, and to judge and rule all nations on earth out of Jerusalem.
When Jesus said the flesh has no profit with God, that includes prophecy of God. Since the flesh is of no profit, then neither is the seed and bloodline of man.
Paul says we are all of one blood: Adam. The gospel of John declares God loves all souls of men, not just some born into a certain lineage. Adam was not loved of God because of his flesh, but because of his soul. The soul of man is made in God's image, not the physical body.
The seed of Abraham blessed of God above all men, in whom all nations shall be blessed, was not the seed of flesh and blood, but is Christ Himself. The natural seed of the Hebrews and Jews and their bloodline is no different from that of any man, for we are all born physically of Noah and Adam. (Which has nothing to do with sin and righteousness, but only physical birth and shape).
The reason Noah found grace with God was because of his faith in God, not his seed and bloodline. The reason Abraham was counted righteous with God, was because of his faith in God, not because of his seed and bloodline.
Jerusalem is not the place where God has chosen to put His name and rule on earth from, because of the stones of it's buildings and streets, nor geographic location, but only because the Lord has chosen to do so by prophecy.
There's more that can be said to discount man's natural seed, bloodline, and physical form, as well as geographic qualities on earth, as having anything special to do with God and Prophecy of Scripture, but the point is made.
Why is it important? Because those seeking carnal answers to God's fulfillment of all prophecy in Revelation, are the ones caught up in the wild goose chase of certain nations, names, and numbers, and ethnicity that Revelation says nothing specifically of.
There is not one place in Revelation, having to do with the end of these last days, when the Lord comes again, where Jews or Greeks or Romans or Syrians or Russians or... are even mentioned. Why not? Because seed of flesh and blood does not matter to God fulfilling His prophecies of coming to earth again.
What the world of nations is doing with and to each other, which includes the Israeli nation, makes no difference whatsoever in the book of Revelation. The Lord is not returning to save Jews from themselves and others, but to receive His own unto Himself in the air, and then fulfill His own prophecy to rule all nations of the earth.
Jerusalem only matters, because that is where the Lord said He would put His name and rule from. Armageddon only matters, because that is where the Lord prophecies He will destroy all them of nations foolish enough to gather and make war with Him and His armies in the air.
It's not flesh and blood and geographic qualities that matter to God, but only what He has chosen to prophecy of Himself on earth, after the counsel of His own good will and pleasure.
