Hi Coper. If you read carefully I pointed out that the old covenant had passed away for all who had heard of Jesus Christ. Of course many Jews in the dispersion had not yet heard of Jesus Christ, and so the spiritual ones among them still benefited by the old covenant (just as Gentiles who had not heard of Christ benefited from general revelation and could respond to it and find mercy). Neither of these situations was affected by the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. The ones mainly affected had rejected Christ long before. They were therefore no longer benefited by the old covenant. Best wishes jonp | ||||||

jonp, Since my posts are being limited and edited this will be my final post to you. I pray, if the preterist position is true, you will one day have your eyes opened. If the futurist position is true, I pray that I will find my way back. One final point to wrap up the "old covenant" line of thought. Throughout the book of Hebrews we see the old covenant system including the priesthood, temple, sacrifices etc. still in progress (Heb. 8:3-6, is in the present tense and 9:1 ties the continuing regulations and the earthly sactuary, or temple, to the first covenant. See also Rev. 11:1,2). They ended finally and forever at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD. It's as if God was giving the Jews one generation to be evangelized, while the gospel also went out to the gentiles, then he would bring down their system in a dramatic way as predicted. This is why the 40 or so years (a generation, ironic I think) are referred to as a "transitional period" between the old and new covenants. I pray that God will bless you in your studies, Coper |
