This means that all the promises and teachings of the Old Testament scriptures, which were written for the Jews, belong to us who are in Christ

Replacement theology at its best ...

Wasn't the Old Testament written especially to the Jews,

The "Jews" are descendants of Judah, one of 12 Sons.

The family are Hebrew.

The first place "Jew" or "Jewish" appears in the Bible is in the book of Esther.

That is fairly late in the history covered by the Bible.

Jews are part of God's covenant people, but not all.

Wasn't the Old Testament written especially to the Jews, so that it doesn't apply in the same way to Christians?

It is for anyone who is to be grafted into the Olive Tree.

See Romans 11
