Ron: I can only address you opening comment first as I believe you have pinned something on me (again) that I was suggesting you are labelling yourself with your Israeli end time theory...
..this is an example of the needless rabbit holes I do not wish to go with you on....let me explain this one...
When I said in my last post that I wanted to emphasize again I was not creating a Replacement Covenant theory...and then I said you are creating a dual Covenant theory or whatever name you want to call it...
Now can we clear this obstacle up first, that should never have been in the road in the first place...
And then calling me a liar is definitely another sign of insecurity on your part, concerning Israel as a physical nation today that was clearly destroyed many centuries ago. And you still persist and continue to misapply scripture to force your type of truth, and to keep alive at all costs this ridiculous unscriptural theory.
Do you want to consider and try to understand the Covenant, the literal Covenant of the literal original people? It was modified along the way as the the Patriarchs and the Prophets wrote over the next centuries, many times, and they foresaw the appearance and work of Christ in the future that was to be the major modification in this Covenant, that was never destroyed or abandoned. ONLY, the literal original people WILLINGLY abandoned this Covenant and tried to destroy it in the process and even tried/tries to stop others to be a part of this same Covenant, under Christ. God does not lie and he kept the Covenant, regardless of rebellion and faithlessness of the original receivers of it, in tact, as the promise to Abraham and then through his Son and our Christ.

So how can I have a discussion when you do not want to contribute or cannot, to this subject, for you seem either to lack the knowledge in scripture or you selectively do not wish to go anywhere except to support your precious literal Israeli AND resurrected OT literal Israel Kingdom(s) theory, ...as the only truth you wish to discuss.
I'm trying to communicate here Ron..

I am still waiting for you to explain to me what supposed "dual covenant" I believe in is. Tell me what you think I believe or don't believe in.
YOu seem to believe you have a keen sense of reading minds. YOu think I have insecurity. I do not!
YOu make allegations but refuse to support your allegations as to how I misapplyi which Scriptures.
I am contributing. As for a restored Israel, you have yet to disprove the
Scriptures I posted.
As for the Mosaic Covenant- you seem to think it is still alive and well and that is unbiblical as well. If you think me wrong show me, just don't bloviate with empty allegations.
So why don't you show that these verses do not apply to Israel:
Ezekiel 20:33-38
King James Version
33 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Zechariah 13:8-9
King James Version
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Jeremiah 31:31-34
King James Version
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.
So instead of your empty allegations and ad-hominems, why don't you show us from SCripture why these are no longer referring to physical Israel, or why Jesus did not bother to correct His apostles when they asked HIm this:
Acts 1:6-7
King James Version
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
