AND hEBREWS 8:7 says , For if that FIRST COVENANT had been FAULTLESS , then NO PLACE would have been
SOUGHT FOR A SECOND .
And verse 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
And as of today there no COVENANT with Israel or JUDAH and will have be ONE NATION as EZE 37 , says they will
have to BE ONE STICK , meaning ONE NATION , PERIOD !!

"I will make a new Covenant" Jer 31:31-34 ... same statement found in Heb 8.
If one takes that to mean "there is no New Covenant" then even NT saints don't have it.
But instead what we have is
Gal 1:6-9 only ONE Gospel
(so then only one Gospel covenant)
Gal 3:8 that one and only Gospel preached to Abraham
And we find the New Covenant is Old Testament in Jer 31 just as we see it in the New Testament Heb 8
New Covenant
Spiritual - basis for salvation OT and NT
Jer 31:31-34
-- Each one with a new heart, God's Law written on the heart
-- Each one taught by God
-- Each one adopted into God's family
-- Each one forgiven of sins through faith in Jesus' name
Acts 10:43 says this
is what all OT prophets taught
Rom 2:
28 For
he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.29 But
he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
Rom 9:
6 But
it is not as though the word of God has failed. For
they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants will be named.” 8 That is, it is
not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
