Really, perhaps it is you who is complicating things because you certainly are not the plain things that Jesus spoke. You have allowed the trees to grow around and thereby creating your own forest that you cannot see through.

Yes I am fully aware of the Mosaic Covenant and the Abrahamic Covenant. The Mosaic Covenant was an extension of the Abrahamic Covenant spelling out how the Covenant would fully work within the Hebrew children. So circumcision and the sabbath are both signs of the Old Covenant. Notice too that circumcision is the sign of the old covenant that is discussed in the new testament. That is the one that Paul keeps referring back to in multiple epistles to give the comparison from the way things were to the way things are.

Don't you know that the "Old Covenant" as you call it are actually two covenants representing two entirely different things? The Mosaic Covenant was not an extension of the Abrahamic Covenant. They were two entirely different avenues.

So what is the sign of the New Covenant?

The Old Covenant is much more than just the Law. Each of the subsequent Covenants builds on each other after the Adamic Covenant revealing more of God's plan and purpose each time. Not sure what you mean by two different avenues.

The Lord's Supper and Baptism are the signs of the New Covenant.

The Abrahamic Covenant represented Isaac, the son of promise.
The Mosaic Covenant represented Ishmael, the son of the flesh.

See? Two different avenues running side by side, but not an extension, which is why the latter didn't nullify the former. The New Covenant nullified them both. You are thinking that a covenant can be changed. Nope. Wrong. Nothing is added or ceases inside a covenant as cessationists believe, which is why you were so quick to add an extension.

Where are you getting this from?

Galatians 3
17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

Galatians 4
21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

its in the bible, I think iver in genesis or kings and regarding quran possibly coz I do see a number of muslims who like 2 show off their jewellery speshly at speakers corner coz they wanna be like Ishmael and his colony, and also wearing jewellery has a long pagan tradition!! and beyond dat has a dark connotation and history!! actual demons are said 2 wear jewellery speshly (rings) out of pride 2 glorify themselves infront of satan.

"And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)" Judges 8:24

Because the Sabbath was the sign of the covenant of Ishmael that ended with the New Covenant, this is why Christians do not keep the 7th day Sabbath.

Is that why Muslims don't keep the sabbath? :D

Rahab, was the Harlot who lived on the wall of Jericho: -

Josh 2:1-2: - 2:1 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho."
So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country."

Josh 6:17: - 17 Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

Josh 6:22-25: - 22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her." 23 And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. 24 But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father's household, and all that she had. So she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.​

Rahab is also mentioned in the Genealogy of Christ: -

Ruth 4:18-22: - 18 Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron; 19 Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; 20 Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon; 21 Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; 22 Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

Matt 1:2-6: - 2 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and Jesse begot David the king.​

Hope that helps.

Shalom
