Sorry, Jews have their own covenant with G-d, and Gentiles have theirs. My distant cousin, the carpenter’s son, is not my savior. Only G-d Himself can be that.

Read Isaiah 41-43 and then explain what verse 43:10 means. Also, what version of the First Covenant do you use in English? Just wondering. Is it really close to the original Hebrew, because I would love to read it. One of my favorite books is Leviticus.

I know, I’ve been called weird.

How totally sad that you completely miss the point. When Anointed One, named Jesus and titled Son, pronounced "τετελεσται"--"Finished!"--the Mosaic Covenant was Completed and God's Righteous Demands satisfied once and for all time, with the New Covenant commencing, The old Jewish religion died, never to live again.

“Sorry, Jews have their own covenant with G-d, and Gentiles have theirs. My distant cousin, the carpenter’s son, is not my savior. Only G-d Himself can be that.”

Jesus instructed the apostle John to write the following:

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Revelation 1:17-18

The same Christ who placed His hand on Daniel (Daniel 10) is the same Christ who comforts John in Revelation 1. The same Christ who declares Himself the “first and the last” is the same God who declared Himself the first and the last three different times in Isaiah:

“Who has performed and accomplished it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.’” Isaiah 41:4

“Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. Isaiah 44:6

“Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last. Isaiah 48:12

Many of the Jews who lived to see the coming of Christ believed in Him, this son of a carpenter that Jews reject today.

The covenant of Israel you seek was fulfilled in the person and work of Yeshua HaMashiach, the Lord and Redeemer of Israel. Israel simply needs to accept Him.
