It's funny how Christians like to quote Jeremiah 31:31-34 as if it's written to the church, chapters 30 and 31 is one oratory to Yudah and Yashar'el. And if you read the Hebrew it is a Renewed Covenant, except now the Covenant is written on the heart and not sapphire stones.
Yes renewed covenant. The Abrahamic Covenant was renewed and now is the New Covenant.
It is written to Israel; the Israel of God.
Remember these two things:
- The Lord Jesus Christ made covenant with Abraham.
- Abraham was a Gentile; a Syrian. A type of the one new man, being both Gentile and Jew, or if you will, being neither Jew or Gentile.
Through Isaiah He says it this way —
I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the Gentiles, Isaiah 42:6
Jesus Christ is our covenant, just as He was Abraham’s.
