He was not talking about the physical seed of Abraham, but spiritual Israel. Through Abraham's seed, all nations will be blessed, and we are beneficiaries of that blessing.

We are blessed by having the faith of Abraham.
The Gentile nations will be blessed by believing Israel in the kingdom on earth.
