It is not a broken covenant - it is a fulfilled covenant! Jesus completed the full letter of the law, and left us blameless to the demands of the law. The law could never make us free, only bound to sin. In Jesus we are free indeed! Free of the law, and free of the Old Covenant - Jew and Gentile alike - there is no difference. We now find ourselves - like Adam and Eve before they sinned - fully blameless and in full restoration with God! We can now walk with Him in the cool of the evening - not naked, but clothed in the righteousness of Jesus. Please, do not miss what has been purchased for us at such a great price. The Old Covenant of the Law has been fulfilled and the New Covenant of Grace is in place - there cannot be two “covenants” working at the same time. The old passes away so the new can flourish. Praise God!!!

Is your hope the return of Jesus Christ and the kingdom 1 Th 2:19 (parousia), or his appearing Tit 2:13 (epiphaneia)?

And there isn't.

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Once that full number of the Gentiles has happened this age of grace will end. That's when the last seven years promised to Israel will begin.

God has a covenant with Israel. We share some of the benefits. Romans and all the covenants God gave to the patriarchs are yet to be completed. They will be. That takes nothing from the glorious blessings we share .
