The Old Testament and the New Testament are not just literary terms used to describe the terms, but terms used to describe God's covenants (essentially agreements/pacts with) humanity. The Old Testament was a pact with the Jews, and the OT is essentially a long series of the Jews' various successes/failures in their relationship with God. The New Testament, being about Jesus' sacrifice, 'fulfills' the Old Testament and therefore shifts the agreement with the Jews to now be an agreement with all of humanity for their salvation. Jesus' parables and Paul's epistles make this new framework of 'God not just for the Jews, but for everyone' very apparent.

Interesting. But why does God consider Israel his chosen people? Why did everyone one else come second?

Also, we are all the lost tribes of Israel. We are the nations, the borders that you see today and the countries are invented and massive larps. At the end of the day we're all the same fucking people.

A nation is a people.
