Piffle.
No one can seriously contend that Hebrews 8:8-12 (and the prophesy cited) in context is an exclusive deal with Israel and Judah, and that reading is just completely at odds with the totality of the revelation of the truth.
Christ has become our high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Regardless, in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek. The blessing of Abraham has come to the nations in Christ, and, in fact, in Christ, we are all Abraham's seed.
You might be right about the cracker, though...
