The author of the Book of Hebrews quoted the Uppercase text from the promise of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Notice the word "now" in the text below, which was written during the first century.
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.
Heb 10:16 "THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS, AND IN THEIR MINDS I WILL WRITE THEM,"
Heb 10:17 then He adds, "THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
Heb 10:18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
We understand why you are attempting to deny the New Covenant fulfillment at Calvary.
An understanding of the New Covenant kills your Two Peoples of God doctrine.

baberean2,
1. I already debunked your Hebrews 8:6 and the word “now” in post 81.
2. Verse 6 is not in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Hebrews 8:1-5; go with v6. It shows why Christ is not the same type of High Priest as the Old Testament High Priest.
And it shows why he has obtained a more excellent ministry and the mediator of the New Covenant that was built on better promises.
3. V 7 proves the 1st covenant was replaced by the 2nd covenant.
4. The New Covenant prophesied stated in Jeremiah was the thing that came to pass at Calvary.
The New Covenant was for the whole world John 3:16.
It didn’t come to pass for the nation of Israel because they rejected Christ Matthew 23:37-39
A comparison is Acts 2:17 when the Holy Spirit was poured out as in Joel but the whole prophecy of Joel 2 was not fulfilled.
There was no signs and wonders and it was to be before the great and notable day of the Lord which never happened Joel 2:20.
5. When Calvary happened the church age began officially Ephesians 2:14-15 though it didn’t manifest till Acts 10.
The church wasn’t a plan b, it was predestined Ephesians 1:4 chosen before the foundation of the world v5 predestined to the adoption Romans 8:28 called according to his purpose v29 foreknew and predestination 1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father....
6. Hebrews 8:8 was spoken to Jewish Christians who understood the eternal covenants for their nation 2 Samuel 7:13-16; 1 Chronicles 28:1-8.
For finding fault with them were the Jews who rejected God in Jeremiah’s day and in Jesus day.
The days will come when he would make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the House of Judah unlike the Old Covenant.
This didn’t happen at Calvary and neither did v10-12. Why?
7. The church age began because it was chosen before the foundation of the world Ephesians 1:4 Israel as a nation rejecting Christ was prophesied Isaiah 53:1-7 is such a picture and Matthew 23:37-39 proves that Israel’s kingdom program of the Davidic Covenant ended for that time and Jesus proved that by his prophecy of the temple and the nation destroyed in 70 A. D. in Matthew 24:1-2 and the New Covenant came for the whole world John 3:16.
Peter addressed the men of Judea and all that dwelt at Jerusalem Acts 2:14; to explain what was happening concerning the Holy Spirit falling with other people outside of Israel; v22; men of Israel a history lesson and what has led up to that moment.
This has nothing to do with the Davidic covenant coming to pass with the Jewish nation or that the nation as a whole received the New Covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 could not have been fulfilled because of the scriptures I gave including the Davidic kingdom didn’t come to pass.
8. Jeremiah 31:36-37 says plainly that the seed of Israel will never cease or never be cast off.
This was not talking about the Church of today.
Your spiritual Israel theory that uses replacement theology is a farce and a lie and you cannot prove it.
9. berean, you have sunk to the lowest with the lying inference that I don’t believe the New Covenant was fulfilled at Calvary.
You know I believe that the New Covenant happened at Calvary and I have never said differently. I said it again in this post and many times before.
The New Covenant was going to happen and had to happen for Christ was prophesied to be the final sacrifice that started with Genesis 3:15.
10. The 2 people’s doctrine is a making of your own teachers. I already debunked that notion.
All believers will be saved by the New Covenant in the millennial kingdom and will be one.
The difference of rulership positions are designed and commissioned by God to Israel and the church age saints will be much to do by stewardship etc.
That doesn’t make 2 people’s of God in your scenario.
Quit posting such deception. Jerry Kelso
