Another long winded response which is not the answer to any of the questions I posed. Typical here of protestants and exactly to what my post referred.
This what I believe.
Before Jesus, God’s Chosen People were under the Law which they could not keep perfectly and therefore, they could not enter into the presence of God, either in this live or the next.
After Jesus, the Perfect Sin Offering, the gates of Heaven were opened, and not to the Jews but to all who believe in Christ.
There is but one Gospel of Jesus which is this, For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son, that all who believe in Him may have everlasting life.”
One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
So, do I believe in the “time past”? Yes, obviously Jesus, the Incarnate Word was born thousands of years after creation and after God revealed Himself to the Jews and made them His chosen people.
Do I believe in the “but now”? Yes, obviously with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, what was once closed to the Jews and the Gentiles is now open.
And, do I believe in the “Ages to Come”? Yes, obviously Jesus said He will return to judge all that live and all the have died and we will rise up to live eternally with Him.
What I do not believe, is that Jesus preached one thing for the Jews and something different for the Gentiles.
Galatians 3:28 KJV
King James Version
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
"But he answered and said, I am NOT sent BUT UNTO the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matt. 15:24.
Because He preached the same thing to Jew and Gentile.
I am curious as to how you interpret those passages.
