Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no
place would have been sought for a second.
Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days
are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant
[b]with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah--
Heb 8:9 "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 did not continue in My covenant,
and I disregarded them, says the LORD.
Heb 8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put
My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be
their God, and they shall be My people
Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A new
covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now
what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish
away.
Those verses above will be fulfilled when Christ returns to reign
for a thousand years. All the glorious prophecies concerning Israel
will be fulfilled to the letter when the Glorified KIng
comes.
Ro 9:4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the
adoption, the glory, the
covenants, the giving of the law, the service of
God, and the promises;
In the sovereign plan of God, in the interim period, God has called
out a people for His name to constitute the body of Christ--- the
Church
When the fullness of the Gentiles has come in to constitute the
Chuch, teh Savior will come and saved Israel:
Ro 11:25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant
of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that
blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the
Gentiles has come in.
Ro 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The
Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness
from Jacob;
Ro 11:27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their
sins."
Remember: the only covenant delineated in the Bible that has a
remission of sins clause in it is the New Covenant. It was ratified
at Christ's death, it will be enacted at His Coming in the
Melinium.
NOte: The blood of Christ shed on the cross is not the New
Covenant. It was the blood necesarry to ratify thta New
covenant.
Mt 26:28 "For this is My blood of the new
covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

But note this. The new covenanat is exactly the same as the old.
It is where the covenant is written that is different.
