Do we need a land?

Usually religions evolve or start with an area of land. G-d brought Avraham away from his homeland, where there was already a religion. This seems strange to us and almost is a contradiction. Judaism is one of the few religions that absolutely does not revolve around land, but here we just learnt that Hashem took Avraham to the land that would eventually be ours. Does this mean Judaism is just another one of those religions that evolves around a piece of land? I don't think thats necessarily true. I think ultimately G-d knew we were going to get our own land and that is why he took Avraham to it in the first place. Even though it did not happen right away and there was much fighting involved to get to the ultimate goal, it was still gotten. I think this all goes back to last year when we had the debate about if G-d knowing the future is really giving us free will or not. G-d knows the outcome but lets us choose our own way to get there, or at least that's the way I think of it. I think G-d wanted Avraham to see where his future generations would live before he died so He took him there, how his future generations were going to get it, He didn't know.
