The exclusive ministry to Israel, which you have quoted as your rationale for exclusively preaching to Jews, is the Sinai Covenant.
Matthew 15:24
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
I never thought that when you vociferously rejected dual covenant theology, that it was in favour of the old covenant and in rejection of the new covenant
Why would anybody read the Old Testament promise found below and claim that the Gospel preached in Matthew 10:5-7 is about the Sinai Covenant?
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

The new covenant did not even exist at that time, and only came into being after Christ's Ministry, upon his ressurrection.
Answers in lozenge.Did the New Covenant come into force with the words "It is finished", or was it fulfilled at His resurrection?
Technically, I should think when Jesus died.
Based on Hebrews chapter 11, were the Old Testament saints saved by keeping the Sinai Covenant or were they saved by "faith" in the Messiah who would come and fulfill the promise made to Abraham, revealed by Paul in Galatians 3:16?
Faith
Was the Gospel of the New Covenant preached to Abraham?
Yes.
Gal_3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Is the "suffering servant" in Isaiah chapter 53 about the fulfillment of the New Covenant, at Calvary?
Yes
Was the New Covenant first promised in Genesis 3:15?
Yes, probably
.
Anyway, as we've established, your exclusive ministry to the Jews based on Christ's ministry is old covenant.
Luk_16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
If Christ's ministry was Old Covenant why did He reveal the New Covenant in Matthew 26:28?
How many people were ever saved by keeping the Old Covenant?
King David committed adultery and conspired to have Uriah killed.
Which covenant is now extant?
In Hebrews 12:18-24, we are not come to Mount Sinai, but rather to Mount Zion and the New Jerusalem of the New Covenant.
In 2 Corinthians 3:6-8 we are not come to "the ministry of death written on stones", but rather to the New Covenant ministry of the Spirit.
In Galatians 4:24-31 we are not come to the Sinai Covenant of "bondage".
Do you want to be in the CIA, since you want to ask all of the questions, but rarely give any answers?

The baptism of the Spirit only began at Pentecost.
So why did John ask Jesus to baptize him (with the Holy Ghost).
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:.......14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
It is clear as daylight that the New Covenant required the atoning blood of Christ, so to try and argue that it was in force prior to Christ's sacrifice seems straight up argumentative.
I don't mind explaining things for you, but are you listening?
John was stating that rightfully Jesus should baptize him,
So considering he has just told us that Jesus will baptize in the Holy Spirit, this makes it very clear that this is in view.
What a mess this thread is.
It's easy to know the Daniel 9 70 weeks prophecy is still lacking fulfillment of the final 70th week, the "one week" of Dan.9:27.
The Dan.8 transgression of desolation and the Dan.11 placing of the abomination that maketh desolate with the sacrifice ending and the "league" made in Dan.11 are all about the same subject of the Dan.9:27 verse.
We can quickly stop listening to those who purposefully exclude the Dan.11 events that are directly linked to the Dan.9:27 verse. Those who try to get you off on an irrelevant tangent arguments with who is Messiah there, when he was 'cut off', or his supposedly establishing a seven year covenant and then breaking it, and all that jazz, are simply trying to get you off the simplicity in Christ on what's actually written there in all of Daniel.
The Actual Subject Flow:
1. sacrifices with a new temple will exist in Jerusalem, shown first in Dan.8.
2. the sanctuary is to be trodden under foot (Dan.8; Rev.11:2).
3. 2300 days from the end when the sanctuary will be cleansed (Dan.8).
4. the false one to come makes a covenant for "one week" that represents a 7 year period (Dan.9:27).
5. the false one ends sacrifices in the middle of the "one week" and places the abomination on a wing of the temple. This reveals two 1260 day periods making up the "one week" (Dan.9:27; Dan.8; Dan.11).
6. the 2300 days from the end backwards reveals a period of 220 days after the start of the first 1260 day period (7 years or 2520 days - 2300 = 220) (Dan.8 & Dan.9:27).
7. the 220 days suggests a period right after the false one appears and makes the 7 yr. covenant, and then begins the building of the new temple in Jerusalem and startup of old covenant sacrifices. (In Zech.6, we are told that The BRANCH will build the temple, and rule upon His throne. Thus the deceived Jews in Jerusalem will think this coming false one who makes the covenant with them is Messiah. It will not be, but will be an imposter).
8. the one of Dan.9:27 called a "vile person" in Dan.11. The "vile person" will take the kingdom by flatteries (Dan.11:21).
9. the "vile person" will make the "league" (i.e., the covenant of Dan.9:27) with a small group in Jerusalem (Dan.11:23).
10. the "vile person" will have indignation against the "holy covenant", revealing the 7 year "league" is about re-establishing the old covenant with sacrifices. He will have intelligence with those who forsake the "holy covenant".
11. Arms on his part will pollute the new sanctuary, and end the sacrifices, and place the abomination idol that makes the sanctuary spiritually desolate (Dan.11:31). This is the "abomination of desolation" event warned of by our Lord Jesus in Matthew 24 and Mark 13.
12. those who know God will be strong and do exploits. The wise who understand shall instruct many, yet they shall fall by sword, by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. When they fall, they shall be helped a little. And some of understanding shall fall, to purge them and make them white, to the time of the end (Dan.11:32-35; Rev.13:7-8).
13. the "vile person" shall magnify himself above God and all that is worshiped (Dan.11:37-39; 2 Thess.2:4; Rev.13:11-17).
14. Michael will stand up, and there will be a time of trouble, such as there never was since there was a nation even to that same time (Dan.12:1). This is the time of "great tribulation" Jesus warned of (Matt.24).
Daniel 9:24-27 begins in verse 24 with an enumeration of Messiah's accomplishments at Calvary, and continues with further accomplishments in verses 26 and 27, supplemented with descriptions of judgment and destruction on the Israelite people and nation occurring about a generation after Calvary.
There is no false one or vile person in Daniel 9:24-27.
There is only Messiah the Prince.
This thread is now unmessed.
There's more of that 'mess' brethren, that I mentioned before. Those arguments are so vain, as if Jesus established a 7 YEAR covenant, and then broke it in the middle!? That's so un-Biblical that you know folks whom those ideas come from haven't even really read their Bible.
Luk 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
