That's 26:28.
Allow me to share one more passage to make my point:
"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel." (Heb. 12:22-24)
Note the linkage of the new (heavenly) Jerusalem to the new covenant. The new Jerusalem is the place where all of God's people dwell regardless of race, etc. We have our home there, again, because of the blood of the new covenant shed on our behalf.
The NT writers never limit the new covenant prophesied by Jeremiah to national/racial Israel. It is always universalized.

Mixing apples, oranges, cacti, koalas, aspen trees and whale snot does not help clarify things.

It would be difficult for me to think of more of a straw dog; irrelevant point, issue--in terms of what God is doing with the blood/DNA/genetic descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in our era.
When God speaks of reconciling ALL CREATION; that ALL CREATION waits eagerly, expectantly, yearningly, groaningly for the manifestation of the sons of God . . .
most of us kind of get the impression that that includes all Blood Israel AS WELL AS The Church . . . as in . . .
ALL CREATION = ALL CREATION . . . evidently excepting those who are determined to opt out in rebellion and must be encapsulated in hell--whatever that place is.
Right. On. The. Money.
