You want to bring up 'backwards' hermeneutic let's look at your backwards hermeneutic as you present it.Sorry you just ignored this text
Romans 11:11–17 (KJV 1900) — 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
and your text never even mentioned a wild olive tree
It's obvious you do not believe the New Testament and practice a backwards hermeneutic and give the Old Testament priority
First, you cannot provide the Scripture in the Old Testament of the shadow to your type in Romans.
Second, you can't do this because in the three salvation covenants God made (Abrahamic, Mosaic, and New) there are no Gentiles in any of these three covenants.
Third, by presenting Romans 11:11-17 you are saying that Saul has the authority and the Almighty power to create a covenant in the first century of Gentiles included in a covenant despite the biblical fact that only God can develop any kind of salvation covenant as He did with Abraham and his Hebrew seed, with the children of ISRAEL in the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus), and the House of Israel in the Jeremiah prophecy describing the New Covenant of which Christ died as per the Mosaic Covenant for His people (Matt. 1:21) which are the Jews.
Fourth, your Romans passage does not even contain covenant words as the prior three covenants and the examples are below:
Abrahamic Covenant:
7 And I will establish my covenant (declaration of covenant)
between me and thee and thy seed after thee (declaration of who is in the covenant)
in their generations for an everlasting covenant, (declaration of duration of covenant)
to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. (declaration of terms of covenant.)
Gen. 17:6–7.
Mosaic Covenant:
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, (declaration of terms and declaration of covenant)
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (declaration of the children of Israel's responsibility in this covenant)
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. (declaration of Israel's benefits/blessing in this covenant)
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. (declaration of who this covenant is with)
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. (declaration of Israel's agreement to this covenant)
Ex. 19:4–8.
You can't identify who these Gentiles are in Romans 11, whether they are proselytes, God-Fearers, or what I call hard-core, uncircumcised, non-covenant, idol-worshiping Roman, Scythian, Barbarian, or any non-Hebrew enemy-to-Israel Gentiles.
There is no covenant language, no terms, no agreement by the receiving party, and no benefits of covenant. You merely say Saul is writing that a certain, unidentified group of Gentiles are in the New Covenant without any shadow Scripture to correspond to any Old Testament prophecy.
And, again, none of the three Hebrew covenants mention nor identify Gentiles in these three salvation covenants between God and the Hebrews. Therefore, as I said already, your interpretation falls short on many levels as you cannot keep your interpretation from breaking with Scripture and provide the above evidences of covenant between God and men as Scripture, which cannot be broken describes God making a covenant, God identifying party to covenant, God declaring duration of covenant, God describing benefits of covenant, and the other party to God's agreement to obey covenant.
And since the only command God gave to Saul was to take a message He's given to Israel - and Saul's choice to re-direct his message from the House of Israel and arbitrarily take it to non-Hebrew Gentiles which is what you're saying - that there is no Scripture of God commanding Saul to create any covenant with anybody, the error of your ways all has to do with failing to follow "backward hermeneutics" and connect the shadow OT Scripture with the type New Covenant type or fulfillment your interpretation falls short on MANY LEVELS as I've proven above.
But all this does prove is your grave infection to a great degree with Constantinian, heretical, false belief based on erroneous interpretation.
You cannot connect the Romans statement to any Old Testament prophecy of Gentiles being included in any of the Hebrew covenants.
Jesus came to save "His people from THEIR sins," NOT to change the Law or to add to an existing covenant after its been closed by God through terms and through time. But your heresy is contagious. That disease of defunct spiritual insight and biblical interpretation is just that without biblical support: heretical.
I've given you sound Scriptural support that God made no covenant with Gentiles nor did He change any Hebrew covenant to now include Gentiles in covenant thereby destroying the Law of which Christ as Lamb of God is sacrificed in accordance with Scripture as the type to the animal sacrifice (shadow) of the Mosaic Law.
Type and shadow.
