All I know is that the Jews are His chosen people.
And HE made a COVENANT with THEM.

Galatians 3:15, NIV

“Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.”

Someone’s going to have to show me just where in the NT that Gentiles are included in the COVENANT.

Acts 15 seems mighty clear to me.

Sorry I must've skipped over this one. Here Paul is talking about the Old Covenant and Gentiles were excluded from THAT one. It was the ceremonies, handwashings, etc. . . These were designed to focus on the coming Messiah and to purify the nation and keep their national identity and be separate from the other nations. It has expired.
No, you want the NEW Covenant where it is written in your heart.
