Acts 7:42

This verse describes God *giving up* Israel to idolatry as a consequence of their actions, rather than offering a promise, prophecy, or covenant *to* them. It's a statement of divine judgment and historical fact, not a positive or future-oriented promise for Israel.

The verse does not explicitly "support" Israel as a distinct entity in the sense of specific promises, land covenant, or future prophetic role separate from the Church.

The verse describes God giving up Israel to idolatry as a consequence of their actions, not the fulfillment of a specific prophecy about their idolatry itself.

The verse describes a past event and a rhetorical question about past actions, not a prophecy with a future fulfillment to be recognized.
