Shalom. Peace be with you.
Thinking about what I said, I should rather say "I see nothing in the scriptures mentioning any covenant between God and us Gentiles." I do believe that there are Christians whose belief in Jesus and their obedience to the requirements of their faith are far more ahead of me in spiritual growth. My only hope and assurance when I face God on the Judgment Day with you all is Jesus on the Cross saying, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!" And with all who believe in Jesus Christ today, what he revealed to us all:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 KJV
For even though I do not see any covenant between God and us Gentiles, I do receive the blessing God said we receive through Abraham's seed:
"And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." Genesis 22:18 KJV
When Jesus referred to the children of Israel as sheep and Gentiles as dogs, the Canaanite woman did not resent it but rather accepted Jesus' stand and thus was blessed with her daughter being made whole.
"But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." Matthew 25:26-28 KJV
I am convinced by this that we must humbly and gladly accept whatever blessing God gives us through Abraham's seed so that we may also be made whole.
Here we have the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah, fulfilled through Christ. The capitalized text comes straight from Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first
covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH—
Heb 8:9 NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DISREGARDED THEM, SAYS THE LORD.
Heb 8:10 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR MIND AND WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
Heb 8:11 NONE OF THEM SHALL TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR, AND NONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.
Heb 8:12 FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
The Gentiles were grafted into the Olive Tree, which is a symbol of the New Covenant Church made up of Israelite and Gentile branches grafted together.
Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit
is holy, the lump
is also
holy; and if the root
is holy, so
are the branches.
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
This had been revealed to Hosea.
Rom 9:24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Rom 9:25 As He says also
in Hosea: "
I WILL CALL THEM MY PEOPLE, WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, AND HER BELOVED, WHO WAS NOT BELOVED."
Rom 9:26 "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."
Rom 9:27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BE AS THE SAND OF THE SEA, THE REMNANT WILL BE SAVED.
This is confirmed by Peter.
1Pe 2:9 But
you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1Pe 2:10
who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
The New Covenant is applied to the Church.
Heb 12:18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,
Heb 12:19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard
it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.
Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: "AND IF SO MUCH AS A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE STONED OR SHOT WITH AN ARROW."
Heb 12:21 And so terrifying was the sight
that Moses said, "I AM EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID AND TREMBLING.")
Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23
to the general assembly and church of the firstborn
who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than
that of Abel.
We are not come to Mount Sinai.
We are come to the New Covenant of Mount Zion, instead.
