You are ignoring the New Covenant in an effort to make your Two Peoples of God doctrine work.
The Gentiles are included in the New Covenant, based on the passage found below.
2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
2Co 3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, modern Dispensational Theology falls apart, and the pretrib removal of the Church falls with it.
You are ignoring what Paul said in Romans 9. It was not a "mystery" to Hosea that the Gentiles would be included in the people of God.
Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Rom 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Rom 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Rom 9:26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
You are ignoring the fact that Paul called himself an "Israelite", even after his conversion in Romans 11:1-5.
You are ignoring the fact that James addressed his letter to "the twelve tribes" who were his "brethren" in the "faith" in James 1:1-3.
The only way to make the Two Peoples of God doctrine work is by ignoring certain passages of scripture.
At one time my wife and I attended a Dispensational Bible Church. We were there for about five years.
During that entire time we never heard a Sunday School lesson, or a sermon on the New Covenant.
Now I know why.
.
I realized you are really fond of anticipating revelation.
I will say this again, hopefully for the final time to you, the mystery revelation that Paul received from the ascended Christ, was unknown to Peter and the others in early Acts.
