——>The new covenant was made with believing Israel and Judah.
And then there was this...
Matthew 21:Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Acts 13:46
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
Acts 28:28
Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
Israel, AS A NATION, is finished. They rejected Christ, and there is no coming back from that. God cancelled their favored status ticket. However, salvation is open to all INDIVIDUALLY, who call on the name of Christ as their Savior.
Galatians 3:28-29
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. / And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
——>A remnant of CURRENT Israel will be saved in the end.
Not exactly what the bible teaches.
Revelation 12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the REMNANT of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Also note:
Revelation 14:12Here is the patience of the SAINTS: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The End Time Remnant in Revelation
Ekkehardt Mueller
Biblical Research Institute
In Rev 12:14 three texts are interwoven that describe the main characteristics of the remnant. The references are Rev 12:17, Rev 13:10, and Rev 14:12.
The last two belong to the “Here is” statements.
Rev 12:17 Keep the commandments; Testimony of Jesus
Rev 13:10 Patience; Faith
Rev 14:12 Keep the commandments; Patience; Faith of Jesus
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
We Catholics see the new covenant, established through Jesus’ sacrifice (Luke 22:20, Hebrews 8:6–13), as fulfilling the promises made to Israel and Judah, just as you mentioned. Through Christ, the Church becomes the new Israel, encompassing both Jews and Gentiles who believe in Him (Galatians 3:28–29, Romans 9:6–8). We agree that Gentiles are ‘grafted in’ to this covenant, as St. Paul beautifully describes in Romans 11:17–24, sharing in the rich root of God’s people.
God’s covenant with Israel is fulfilled in Christ, and the Church is now the spiritual heir of those promises.
We believe God’s plan includes a mystery regarding Israel’s ultimate reconciliation (Romans 11:25–26), and we pray for the salvation of all, including the Jewish people, through faith in Jesus. However, we don’t typically expect a distinct political or national role for Israel in the eschaton, nor do we anticipate a literal millennial reign where Israel leads the world, as the dispensationalist views suggest. Instead, we look to the second coming of Christ, when all things are made new in the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:1–4), and all the saved—Jew and Gentile—share in God’s eternal kingdom.
we see the new covenant in Jesus as fulfilling God’s promises to Israel and Judah (Hebrews 8:8–13), with the Church—Jews and Gentiles united in Christ—as the new Israel (Galatians 3:28–29). We agree Gentiles are grafted into God’s people (Romans 11:17–24), and we trust God’s plan includes a mysterious inclusion of the Jewish people in salvation (Romans 11:25–26). But our view of the end times differs a bit. Instead of a literal 1,000-year reign where national Israel rules the world after the tribulation, Catholic teaching focuses on Christ’s second coming, when He establishes the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1–4). In this eternal kingdom, all the saved—Jew and Gentile—share in God’s glory, with no distinct group ruling over others.
God’s promises to Israel are fulfilled in Christ, and we all share equally in His eternal kingdom.
