Harold,
What do you actually think that this covenant spoken of in Sefer Yirmeyahu chapter 31 is?
I will speak as to what it is, for is not a new covenant in the sense that we have not known it hence, but rather it is merely the Torah.
Yirmeyahu is speaking metaphorically to my people here, because of what has taken place amongst my people, which is division.
At the time of Yirmeyahu there were two kingdoms, the Northern and the Southern, both worshipping our Creator differently, i.e. more than one Torah. Thus, the nation was divided.
Today we have the Yuhudhim (Jews) and the Shomerim (Samaritans) as a result of this division. Our Creator never wanted this division. This so-called New Covenant is the correction of such a division, where our Creator places His Torah in our hearts so that there is no disagreements amongst us, and we all know Him, and His truth.
After this division another division sprung up, the Parushim and the Sadduqim, which likewise our Creator never truly wanted, but it happened, and at the time of this prophecy's fulfillment such a division will disappear. At this time the offspring of these groups, the political movements still exist by other names.
Since such has not happened, we know without a doubt that the prophecy of chapter 31 has not happened as of this time, so you are not under it, as we are also not under it, but in truth, it is not new, it is only the redeclaration of that which has been made in the past, the Torah.
At such a point there will be no need for one Yisraeli to speak to another Yisraeli and say, "This is the correct way……", because we will all know the correct way.
