Abraham was not Jewish.
Judah was one of the 12 sons of Jacob.
The New Covenant is about Grace, instead of race. (Matthew 3:9, 1 Timothy 1:4)

baberean2,
1. One track mind and you don't understand context.
2. I never said the NC was of race. That is how little you pay attention or comprehend or maybe you do it on purpose so you can accuse me of saying something I didn't say.
3. Abraham was a gentile from the land of the Chaldeans. God called him out to be a father to many nations and exclusively one who would become the Jewish nation and Abraham's seed would be a stranger in the land that is not theirs and shall serve them;and shall afflict them 400 years Genesis 15:13.
Israel was Abraham's physical seed that came through Isaac the heir and not Ishmael the bond woman's son Genesis 11:10.
Jacob was the heir and not Esau Genesis 25:21-24 and this is when the twelve tribes of Israel who were Jacob's sons and came to fruition of who Moses led out of Egypt for they were strangers in the land.
3. God brought the Messiah through the Jewish line to bring forth the KoH reign on earth and to bring salvation to all men Isaiah 42:1-7
Judgement of Gentiles and upholding the elect which was Israel.
Matthew 2:6 was a reference to Isaiah 9:6-7. The government would be on the Messiah's shoulder and rule an everlasting kingdom on earth.
The problem was that Israel's covenant of the Davidic kingdom was conditioned by obedience and repentance of the nation.
Matthew 22:37-39 shows Israel rejected Christ and that was prophetic.
The church was predestined Ephesians 1:4 and came into the picture at Calvary.
4. Gentiles are Abraham's seed concerning salvation Galatians 3:19.
We are saved by grace and not works.
The law came because of Israel's sins so Calvary was always the destination and it happened so all men could be set free and on the same level and even in the same body of Christ known as the Church. Matthew 16:18.
The church hasn't done away with the KoH because the land has be restored and the restitution of all things.
At the same time the earthly calling of Israel is not done away with because they rejected him the first time or because the church came along and the grafting in of the Gentiles Roman's 11:25-29.
5. You can't change the scripture that says Physical Israel will be at the head of the nations Isaiah 2:2-4 and Christ will rule from Jerusalem which which will be the capital of the earth Isaiah 2:1-4 when he shall take all the Kingdoms of this world become his Revelation 11:15.
Israel has to be saved by the New Covenant in the tribulation called the time of Jacob's trouble because there is only one covenant of salvation and that is the New Covenant Revelation 12:10;15:1-2.
Israel has to purged by tribulation
In the Great tribulation Daniel 9:24-27. This is why that Israel is preserved in the wilderness for the last 3.5 years and the Jewish remnant is scattered but will be preserved Revelation 12. This has nothing to do with the church of today.
We are presently being trained for the KoH through our suffering 2 Timothy 2:12.
6. We are Abraham's seed spiritually but the church has never been given the eternal promise of being at the head of the nations on earth through the Davidic line or the eternal promise of specific land that concern the head of the nations concerning Abraham's line.
These are the physical eternal promises in the Jewish line from Abraham and Davidic Covenants that were not promised to the present day church.
7. We are Abraham's seed spiritually which means being saved by grace and not works.
We will still rule and reign on earth Revelation 5:9-10 in the Davidic kingdom though in different capacities than that of Israel.
The families of the earth will be blessed from the nation of Israel in the KoH by reason of their earthly calling as head of the nations Genesis 12:2-3; Zechariah
14:20-11.
This is the proper perspective on the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants for Israel and the present church of today.
Just like the law of Moses could not prevent the full grace of God through the finished work of Christ at the cross to save all men, the physical promises of the physical line of Israel will not be prevented because they are eternal promises to the nation's seed and that is why they will come to obedience to the New Covenant of the lamb.
David will be their king in the KoH Jeremiah 30:9;Ezekiel 37:24.
The Jews and Gentiles are Abraham's seed spiritually by grace and not works. This has nothing to do with race.
The physical nation of Israel with being united with Judah as one stick Ezekiel 37:16-28 and David being their King Ezekiel 37:24 and position of being at the head of the nations Isaiah 2:2-4 are all physical line of Israel under the specific contexts of the Abrahamic Genesis 12-15 and Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 12:14 & 115-16; 1 Chronicles 28:2-7 and not to the church and that is scriptural.
