Why were some Christians so manipulated to support an earthly Israel... when Jesus clearly told his disciples the future Israel would be a spiritual one?

The first followers of Jesus were the Essenes and the Ebonite Nazarenes. They were mystics and were the ones who walked and talked with Jesus, and today they and their beliefs are condemned.
"The day was to come when the Nicene party won out completely and then the emperors... decreed that one who denied the Trinity should be put to death" –Roland Bainton, The Church of our Fathers - 1950, pg. 46
"Constantine easily believed that the heretics, who presumed to dispute his opinions or to oppose his commands, were guilty of the most absurd and criminal obstinancy..." – Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
There were retired priests admitting on tape that the Church invented hell. This word in Greek manuscripts is Gehenna - the historical fire pit called the Valley of Hinnom, which was used to burn dead bodies of criminals. This fire pit is pretty what the Bible describes. This word was used by Jesus as a metaphor for annihilation. The Church conflates it with another concept - the Sheol, or Hades in Greek, which means the realm of the dead. Nowhere in the Bible describes Sheol/Hades the same way as hell. One verse in the book of Revelations: "Hell will be thrown into the lake of fire", is the conclusive proof.
Jesus’ disciples (and the others) expected an earthly Messianic kingdom. Always did, always will. When it comes, Isaiah 53 will have been fulfilled. Covenant theology and replacement theology have no place in biblical or redemptive history because the church (current church of Gentiles and non-Gentiles) are not the original: we were merely grafted in.
All the Khazar debates in the world will never change the church from being the non-original-grafted-in to the ‘true and spiritual Israel.’ Replacement theology is wrong.
I always found it interesting that "I am" in french is "je suis".
