It implies that those who follow the teachings of Jesus, Who they believe is the Son of God, aren’t as favored by God as those who reject these same teachings and remain committed to what Christians regard as the Old Covenant from the Old Testament. Simply put, it’s a tacit renunciation of their religion’s fundamental tenet that Jesus is the Son of God Whose teachings are divine.
There's nothing inexplicable about some Christians believing that the Jews must be restored to Israel before the Second Coming. It's a fraud, pure and simple, that started in the 19th Century with an American religious snake-oil salesman, then amplified by Hal Lindsay's "The Late Great Planet Earth" back in the 70s.

Mike Johnson comes from that carnival barker religious background. Fortunately, that's a minority opinion among American Christians, and pushback is finally materializing. 30 Christian ministers were arrested for blocking the US Senate cafeteria this week.
