I concur with you 100% Unfortunately, 99.9% of “Christians” don’t, for two main reasons (New Covenant rejected as applying to them)

1. Made with the House of Israel/Judah (rejected as not applying to Christians...recited in the book of Hebrews, which they think means not applicable to those in Christ).

2. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts (rejected because God’s law was nailed to the cross, fulfilled the law and thereby abolished, and of course, God’s law only applied to the Jews, not mankind. Anything Jewish, pre-Christ, is anathema, etc...).

The New Covenant is essentially the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sealed with His literal blood. The Gospel FIRST went to the Jews. When rejected by them, it went to ANOTHER, who would produce fruit. Those in Christ are now Israel. The New Covenant promises now apply to all those in Christ. Can that include literal Israel? Yes, but only if they come to Christ. As a literal nation, Israel is finished. Their last chance was up to the moment they stoned the prophet, Stephen. They are done. The literal fig tree is no more. Dead at the roots.

Those who reject the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, reject Christ, and I don’t care how much they protest otherwise.
