Can't be. There is no mention of Gentiles in the covenant God makes with the House of Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34. God's covenants first with Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's descendants also known as the children of Israel are a family covenant and with a particular people God has chosen to reveal Himself to and make Promises that all have to do with His plan of "Emmanuel" and taking out a people to Himself from the mass of humanity.The promise to the fathers is not a promise made to any other individual, whether Christian or Jew, or anybody else.
The promise is future. Today we are merely included in a partial way into that future promise of Jeremiah 31. This promise was for the future descendants of the fathers at the return of Christ. We are included in a dark glass, partially gifted experience per 1 Corinthians 13. That’s all we get. When Jesus returns, the vail will be lifted, and the promise will finally be fulfilled.
The New Covenant Scriptures of Saul, Peter, James, John, etc., all discuss the effect of Israel's Messiah on their covenants but there is no covenant made between God and any people in their writings. In the beginning of Christ building His Church, which is a continuation of the Church called the "Great Congregation" in the desert at the time of the Tabernacle, those Jews that became saved - 3000 of them - on the first day did not come immediately with an instruction manual and they had to search the Jewish Scriptures of the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets to understand this new thing their Yahweh was doing with His people. As they searched the Scriptures, they began to understand more and more of this phenomenon taking place in Israel and among the Jews.
The veil has already been lifted:
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Rom. 16:25–26.
Whatever Promises still yet to be fulfilled are all promises God had made with Israel. God has made no covenant with Gentiles, and all that is happening in the world with regard to the Holy Spirit of Promise coming upon the earth is only one aspect of the "Jewish" Covenant and has only to do with Israel.
