GOD'S COVENANTS WITH ISRAEL AND GENTILES!
Question: What is the meaning of “Old” in the reference to “The Old Law” or “The Old Covenant”?
Until the change of “Covenant”; the correct terminology would IMO be “Covenant”, or First Covenant!
The so called “New Testament” often refers to the First Covenant as the “The Old”.
The Next or “New Covenant” is when inaugurated in Jesus the Christ, and is current for Gentiles, and some Jews; but for the corporate (Lo-Ammi) Israel, will not be until the enaction of Jer. 31:31 onwards.
Hebrews 9:4: Speaks of the “First Covenant” in relative detail; and compares with the “Second Covenant”; and shows the need for the “Second” in V.9; but until Christ Jesus is the “High Priest” at His “Second Advent”, He is the “MEDIATOR” from Vs. 16 to 28.
The Two Covenants cannot be united in the Unity which God the Father Planned, until the Jews are at the point of Zech.12:10, and their “mourning” is completed for Christ Jesus; and the “number of the Gentiles is completed” (Romans 11:25–27).
