New Covenant given to the same people as the Old Covenant

God promised a new covenant to His people.  Turn in the scriptures to Jeremiah 31:31 

A New Covenant
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: 

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: 

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. 

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.

35. Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:


36. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

It is my understanding of these scriptures that In the parallel passages, the parties involved are always the Lord and the nation of Israel.

Look to Hebrews 8:8-13

8. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

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 continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Again plainly said. Little explanation is needed. The covenant was written to the Jewish people.

Look now to Romans 15:8 KJV

8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision. (Jewish) for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Plainly stated in the scriptures. 

Some blessings relate to the Gentile nations, but even these are “spill-over” blessings from Israel.

I call it the ..”crumbs that fall from the masters table”.

We gentiles are not part of that covenant, as it is written in Ephesians 2:12.

The same people that got the Old Covenant will get the New Covenant
