How is this passage understood by a dispensationalist? From my understanding they consider old testament promises made to Israel to be made to the physical Israel. They deny that the "true offspring" is the believing remnant and the grafted in believing gentiles. Looked up the passage in the John MacArthur SB. He interprets it as meaning the believing remnant. Maybe I am just misunderstanding dispensationalism but it seems a very inconsistent system to me.

From what I understand, John MacArthur is a pretty loose dispensationalist. I think more staunch dispys would have more issues with this.
