When Christ died on the Cross, He was the New covenant with believers. Only believers. Those who do not believe in Christ ,as the Son of God , go straight to the grave and oblivion. The only way to eternal life is stated in John 3:16. The “chosen people” are believers in Christ as the Son of God.The old testament is completely dead.The Bible I read is New Testament only. Those that rejected Christ are to be buried and forgotten. They do not get an eternal existence. NOT AT ALL!!
I could probably do a web search to verify that but that just seems like so much research.
If I wanted to do research I would've gone to school.
Read Jeremiah, the New Testament is made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah...we gentiles are merely grafted in. BTW isn’t Romans 9-11 part of the New Testament?Also all people get an eternal existence(Being made in the Image of God), those who reject Jesus exist forever in Hell and those who accept the gift go God receive eternal Life.

Seems the apostles extensively used the TaNaKh (OT) to point to Jesus as Messiah.
Jesus even pointed to the OT:
Luke 24:
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
