Please remember what the OP is:
since the new covenant is 'better,' what is better about it and why?

For you and I, there's no "better" because it's not ours, no more than the O.C. was.
Translation: "I don't know and I don't care."

In a nutshell, the new is better because it is not confined to Israel and cannot be.
There is NO "rebuke" there, only in your tiny little commentary corrupted mind.
Nice fancy weasel words there "Grammar scholar". The restoration of the kingdom as a GIVEN, it did NOT need to be repeated or dwelt upon.
Ah, the "too literal" again. I'll take the literal BIBLE over you and your fanciful commentaries anyday.
Your "kingdom" is a pitiful version compared to the one that the BIBLE describes. In the kingdom there will be NO SIN allowed. It will be SWIFTLY dealt with, like Ananias and Sapphira. You guys and your "just a spiritual kingdom" are immensely ignorant of God's plans as CLEARLY spelled out in ALL of scripture.
You keep using "Judaism". I don't care about "Judaism", I care about what God says about Christ's KINGDOM on the EARTH (which you know NOTHING about) and His KINGDOM in heaven (which you ALSO know NOTHING about).
P.S. The "Grammar scholar" can't even spell. What a FRAUD!
Mocking is a tactic of the dialectic game - and as a tactic of the game its function is to discredit the opponent, and it is not a substantive argument. It is using emotion rather than facts and facts here is scripture.

Do we have a D'ist saying what is better yet?
Read it 10X IP.Genesis thru Revelation - try it, sometime :chuckle:
IP, what's the full title of Hebrews?You have just spent a month saying Heb 9:15 has nothing to do with Gentiles; that the new covenant is just about the land for ever for Israel!
You are totally unaware of how you sound. It's totally the opposite of the the excitement of the NT.
Covenant = at least one party is obligated to uphold the terms of the deal.
Israel, alone, are the covenant people. God has no covenant with we Gentiles, and Gentiles are not in any sense Israel. We were written off at Babel and were without hope ever since, aliens from the covenants He made with His people.
But since Israel does not exist (as such) today, no one today - Jew nor Gentile - has any access to God via the New Covenant anymore than anyone has access via the Old Covenant. Grace via the Cross is the only way for all.
Today, God is not obligated to anyone for anything EXCEPT His promised gift of the saving Gospel of grace. That doesn't involve a covenant and doesn't need to. Accept it and get over it.
You either don't know of it or choose to ignore the covenant made between the Eternal Father and Son.
Chapter and verse on that.
And since your reading comprehension suffers, notice I said God has no covenant today with Jews nor Gentiles.
There is nothing wrong with my understanding.
