This verse should be a great comfort to us, providing we are "obeying His commands and keeping all His decrees". But it is PRESUMPTION to CLAIM the PROMISE while IGNORING the COMMAND.

This promise was made to the nation of Israel.
Ignoring the context of passages turns the Bible into a toy that be made to say just about anything.

I believe the promises God made to Israel were made to MODERN DAY ISRAEL, as well.

You can believe anything that you like. That does not made it true.
MODERN DAY ISRAEL does not have an elevated position above the other nations. God concluded them all in unbelief along with the gentiles. Romans 11:32.
That will change in the future, also per Romans 9-11.

Modern Israel has no ADVANTAGE over Old Israel...in fact...because we have more LIGHT, we are MORE ACCOUNTABLE than them.

You're off on a tangent now. Who said anything about modern Israel having an advantage over "Old Israel"?
What do you even mean by "Old Israel"?
How, exactly, are we "more accountable"?
There is no comparison between the two. The body of Christ is quite distinct from the nation of Israel.
