God introduced the body of His beloved Son into the womb of Mary, in separation from the lineage of the dead as initiated in Adam, in contradistinction from all other flesh equally created.
Whether of the first covenant, formed Jewish identity, or otherwise, all human beings are reproduced bodily, in equal form, from Adam.
Therefore, His mother is also a product of Adam's progeny; however, what was at the beginning reserved in Eve while as yet she was a virgin and before she sinned, was remained present throughout every generation and preserved at the flood in Noah's family, was still remained and present in Mary while as yet she was a virgin, and she concieved the Son of God, by the word of God, and her Jewish identity could not add anything to it, as explained below, nor interrupt it.
He crucified all who believe and willingly deny themselves in any form of claim to His inheritance by Jewish elevation or other form of imagination, with Himself on the cross.
He is the firstborn of God, from the lineage of the dead in Adam, whether anyone believes or forbears.
Paul says that He, God, the Father, takes away the first covenant to establish the second; it's not a replacement, because the first covenant could never contribute nor be compared to, nor accomplish that which was preordained to follow, and in fact, all that ever was before pales, and fails to qualify, in the light of Christ's complete fulfillment of God's original intention to produce a family in equal to Jesus His only begotten Son in the body of immortality.
"Lo, I come to do Your will, O God." Because Jesus offered His body to God to fulfill all of God's original intention for all of creation, He has become the Lord of all.
A body was prepared by God for Him in Mary's womb for Him to perform it, and He has! Fulfilling every promise and obligation made to anyone who has ever believed in Him to the saving of the soul, and will perform it in His zeal, to the redemption of the body, to immortality.
This is an irreversible truth that manifests and endures throughout every generation, to the consummation of our redemption in the body to His likeness in immortality.
When He came, He took away the necessity of the first covenant by fulfilling it in a way that it was never intended or made capable of performing without Him.
The first covenant and ordination of a prophetic corporate identity, in Christ, was a shadow of things present, because He who established it, fulfilled all that it represented in full measure of His preordained intention to perform it from the beginning, in the eternal and singularly offered final expression of corporate covenant in His own person, body, and blood.
This is an irreversible and immutable truth validated by His eternal priesthood and resurrection from the dead! Hebrews 13:8
If the first temporary covenant keepers refused to yield to the second, final and eternal covenant, which was prophesied and preordained to come, as fully performed and kept by God's Son, in an eternal and immortal body, can they possibly prevail against Him, or force His patience to endure another period of contradiction against Himself without retribution?
Can their refusal to honor Him, or accept the second and eternal covenant that He establishes, possibly negate Him? God forbid.
He must, as He did, proceed from that time of fully performed covenant in His own flesh, to His enthronement immortal and conduct His Kingdom thereafter from heaven over them, "The Kingdom of Heaven", and over all, to the promised outcome for those who believe and are being secured to Him after their death, forming that great cloud of witnesses around His enthronement in heaven.
Until He consummates it in bodily redemption to immortality of the rest.
Or if, after having taken it away, [the form of the first covenant] should it rise up again, or be rebuilt in contradiction to Him, what do you think, will He do?
The same that is true of the first covenant, having been "taken away", is true of the present heavens and earth that was built by God for the proliferation of human beings, in the body of Adam's lineage, for the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It will be taken away, and all the obstinate in the flesh with it. But we who are alive and remain will be changed in a moment, like the twinkling of the eye, and not one hair on our heads will be harmed! Amen.
The zeal of the Lord will perform it!
