The covenant Jehovah made with the nation of Israel in the wilderness after their deliverance from the Pharaoh of Egypt is just that. It was a covenant made with the nation of Israel and only that nation. It was never intended to be expanded to the whole association of mankind. It was a shadow of the true covenant to come in the form of the Christ. Those of that nation were born into the covenant. So all the requirements of that law covenant ONLY applied (when it was in effect) to naturally born Israelis. Unfortunately, the nation never really kept their side of the covenant relationship. Thus in 70 C.E., God destroy the nation and their system of worship. All genealogy records were destroyed so no one conclusively knows who all the Israelites are.  But it really doesn’t matter. Because the covenant came to an end back in 70 C.E.

The new covenant of the Christ is by CHOICE not by birth. If one wants to be repentive of his sins he can. He can voluntarily follow the spirit of the Christ. The old covenant was based on do’s and don’ts. The new one on the condition of one’s heart. Do you want to seek the perfection and holiness of God through Christ? Then follow God’s word and bear witness to the Christ. If not, do not mock God. To do this is not as easy as some make it out to be!

Thus all the talk of the OLD covenant still being in force to the whole association of mankind is wrong!!
