And here I am thinking that Jacob (Israel) came after Abraham and that Israel the nation came after Jacob.

And could it be that Moses really was told by God that God would destroy that gold calf nation of Israel and create a new one from Moses' own line?

I do think it's true; there is a nation of Israel with a particular purpose assigned it by God....and particular promises made to it by God.

It's ironic that hermeneutical distinctives of the Reformation include the perspicuity of Scripture, verbal inspiration, and Calvin's refusal to read Christian comment illegitimately into the OT. But all that gets capsized when they approach uncongenial prophecies.
