I believe both the Gospels

That's right, and FEW will be saved, and many will perish. The first generation (first born) led out of Egypt were not saved, will not receive salvation.

Some are cursed.

Some have chosen their demise.

 

If that is your point? that God is not fair? No, he's not, not by man's judgment, God is Just.

 

Paul says the law is not of faith...He also says the law brings wrath. I just do not agree when people interpret the prophets to disagree with the prophetic announcement in Moses law.  Christ fulfilled the law. it is finished

Mt 11:13  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

“For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.” (Jer 33:17, 18).

With the exception of the “Levites not lacking a man,” the mentioning of “burnt offerings” and “doing sacrifices continually” are not as the literal services in the OT but are phraseologies of the OT to maintain the Jewish atmosphere. They represent the literal accomplishments in Christ which will eventually occur within the final descendants (many think all Christians, which it could be) of the nation of Israel. It is not sensible to think these to be literal, seeing they were discontinued for reason of Christ’s Priesthood entering in.

“Three of God's covenants, that of royalty with David and his seed, that of the priesthood with Aaron and his seed, and that of Peculiarity with Abraham and his seed, seemed to be all broken and lost while the captivity lasted; but it is here promised that, notwithstanding that interruption and discontinuance for a time, they shall all three take place again, and the true intents and meaning of them all shall be abundantly answered in the New Testament blessings, typified by those conferred on the Jews after their return out of captivity.

“The covenant of royalty shall be secured and the promises of it shall have their full accomplishment in the kingdom of Christ, the Son of David, v. 17. The throne of Israel was overturned in the captivity; the crown had fallen from their head; there was not a man to sit on the throne of Israel; Jeconiah was written childless.

“After their return the house of David made a figure again; but it in the Messiah that this promise is performed that David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of Israel, and that David shall have always a son to reign upon his throne.

“For as long as the man Christ Jesus sits on the right hand of the throne of God, rules the world, and rules it for the good of the church, to which he is a quickening head, and glorified head over all things, as long as he is King upon the holy hill of Zion, David does not want a successor, nor is the covenant with him broken.” M H

Concerning the Levites not lacking a man

Is 66:18  For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19  And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20  And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21  And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
22  For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
