How odd that you assume I haven’t read the Bible.

No, God doesn’t break his covenant. The Savior is not a break of the Covenant; it’s the Fulfillment: Abraham rejoiced to see His day. Our Lord could not have been more clear that all who hear the Gospel — Jews and gentile alike — are faced with the decision of acceptance or rejection. Many Jews did accept the Gospel and were baptized, becoming a new creation in Christ. Many others — like the elder brother of the prodigal son — did not, refusing to “enter the house”. John warned them of the disaster that would overtake them. So did Jesus, repeatedly. The Jews who rejected the Gospel were cut off; they were driven from the master’s vineyard and receive no portion of the inheritance. God loves the Hebrew people and has not forgotten them, but the role they play in the plan of salvation is more hidden and mysterious than you suspect. At the end, Esau must accept the gifts offered by Jacob. That is his only hope for reconciliation.

Oh I didn’t assume that... My preface on you having not read your bible was just a tit for tat because you told me to read mine.

My real assumption was that u didn’t UNDERSTAND the difference between God’s “Chosen People” and Christ’s Bride.
It is during the tribulation period where God finally brings His Chosen People to realize that they had already crucified and rejected the very savior they have been waiting for. (i.e. the 144,000 witnesses or “remnant” of Israel during the tribulation)
