If the way to God is through Christ, what will happen to Israel?

Unlike the Old Covenant, the New Covenant is made with each person individually, regardless of a person's origin. Therefore, the New Covenant is always open to both Jew and Greek. The destiny of Israel as a nation remains, to a certain extent, mysterious. On the one hand, one might think that after the Death and Resurrection of Christ, Israel becomes a nation just like all the rest, and the Church becomes the chosen people, the New Israel. This is, at least, how the Church regards itself. At the same time, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that God's covenant is irrevocable, and Israel continues to fulfill a certain historical mission. Blindness in part has happened to Israel, Paul writes, temporarily, so that the Gentiles might enter into the covenant. After this, in the last days, Israel will be the last to enter into the New Covenant, and this will be the culminating seal of human history. Experience shows that Israel's relationship with God is both the same as everyone else's and yet unique. Christians consider it necessary to pray for God's will, mercy, and peace for all – and for Israel.
