Of the five direct references to a new covenant, only one (Heb 8:8) is connected by the context directly with the new covenant of Jeremiah. While this does not solve the problem, as will be seen later, it certainly narrows the area of direct revelation. Of the auxiliary texts judged referring to the new covenant, Romans 11:27; Hebrews 8:10, 13, and 10:16 seem to have reference to the new covenant with Israel. The other references at least are not specific.

Is this what you're referring to?

This quote from one of Pastor Tim Warner’s articles, “The Kingdom Hope in Hebrews” (Warner is Historic Premill), might help in seeing where I am coming from:

“There is much debate today, particularly amongst Dispensationalists, as to whether the New Covenant has actually come. Yet, Paul (Warner believes Paul wrote Hebrews) left no doubt that the New Covenant had come... This is also confirmed in several other passages (cf.Luke 22:20, 1 Cor. 11:25, 2 Cor. 3:6, Heb. 9:15).”
