As for all those who walk orderly by this rule of conduct, peace and mercy be upon them, yes, upon the Israel of God
(Galatians 6:16)
Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant: « For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus » (1 Timothy 2:5). This New Covenant is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jeremiah 31: 31,32. According to 1 Timothy 2: 5, all men, all people who have faith in the sacrifice of Christ are under the authority of the New Covenant (John 3:16). The Israel of God represents the whole of the Christian Congregation. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ showed that this Israel of God will have one part in heaven and another on earth, in the future earthly paradise.
The Heavenly Israel of God is constituted by the 144000, the New Jerusalem, the capital from which will flow the authority of God, coming from heaven, on earth (Revelation 7:3-8: the heavenly spiritual Israel composed of the 12 tribes of 12000 (kings and priests) =144000): « I also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband » (Revelation 21: 2).
The Earthly Israel of God will be made up of humans who will live in the future earthly paradise, being designated by Jesus Christ as the 12 tribes of Israel to be judged: « Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to you, in the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel » (Matthew 19:28). This earthly spiritual Israel is also described in the prophecy of Ezekiel chapters 40-48.
At present, the Israel of God is constituted by faithful Christians who have the heavenly calling and Christians who have a earthly hope of everlasting life by coming out the great tribulation as great crowd (Revelation 7: 9 -17 « the great crowd).
(In the future paradise there will be the earthly resurrection)
On the night of the last Passover, Jesus Christ concluded the New Covenant with the faithful apostles who were with him: « Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” Also, he did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf » » (Luke 22: 19,20).
This New Covenant concerns all the faithful Christians, whatever their hope (heavenly or earthly). This New Covenant is closely related to the spiritual circumcision of the heart (Romans 2:25-29). Insofar as the faithful Christian has this spiritual circumcision of the heart, he can consume the unleavened bread, and the cup which represents the blood of the New Covenant (whatever his hope (heavenly or earthly)): « First let a man approve himself after scrutiny, and only then let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup » (1 Corinthians 11:28).
