Yet in spite of this, when the are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.I think of this as the Survivor's Promise. No matter what happens, God will not allow the destruction of his chosen people. This is why the Jewish people still exist, despite their multiple failings through millenia.
It is also a promise which I believe holds to the church as well. While the church has been growing in some places and persecuted into hiding in others, it will never be destroyed. There will never come a time while this world still exists when Christianity will be extinct. Even during the tribulation, the church will continue, though much reduced. There will always be the opportunity for people to learn the truth of God and believe.
