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.
Oh I see, you actually have this backwards. The Covenants do not represent Ishamel and Isaac. Not at all. Paul used Ishamel and Isaac to illustrate the covenants.

What is backwards?

Was Ishmael the son of promise, and Isaac the son of the flesh? No. They represent the two covenants.

You are so obvious. If I said a Zebra was black and white; you would say, no, a Zebra is white and black just to argue.

No, you said the Covenants represent them which is not what Scripture says. That is different than saying they represent the Covenants as an illustration given by Paul.

So no, it is not the same thing as your Zebra illustration.

Let's look at it this way.

I can say the American Flag represents the United States. Does the United States represent the American flag? No.

A representation or symbol is not always reciprocal.

It is both.

The Ten Commandments were of the flesh
Ishmael was of the flesh

Isaac was of Promise
Jesus is the Promise

You never answered the other part of the question. What is the sign of the New Covenant? Do you still think it is baptism?

I actually did answer it. It is both Baptism and the Lord's Supper. The two sacraments.
