He said he would make it and he did. That happened at the cross. This is very basic doctrine.
Mat_26:28 For this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mar_14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
Luk_22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
1Co_11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
2Co_3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

The difference between the old and new is, the old are figures of the new. The figures have been done away.
The purpose of the law is to make us aware that we are sinners. When we view ourselves as no better than others, we are following the law properly. And when we realize how Christ (God) loved us even while being greatly mistreated us, then comes true repentance and the law (love God before and neighbor as in need) written in our hearts.

The Bible isn't totally rules and regulations. In point of fact, much of it is little
different than reading a novel.
The book of Genesis is very entertaining, and so are the books of Ruth,
Esther, and Ecclesiastes. One of my favorites is Song which, when it's
interpreted by a romantic Bible teacher, is like watching a Hallmark movie.
Song of Solomon

There is absolutely no question that the Body of Christ (the Church) is under the New Covenant. The Lord's Supper is for the Church, and the cup represents "The New Testament (Covenant) in my blood". This has nothing to do with the house of Israel and Judah, which will come under the New Covenant after the Second Coming of Christ (see Ezekiel). A partial fulfillment of that already happened at Pentecost, since the houses of Israel and Judah were represented on that day in Jerusalem.

Here's how I look at it: The law was brought forth to show the sinfulness of man. Yeshua came, lived out that law -without sin, abolished it in his death, and redeemed us from the old law into the new covenant. The law could not set us free but the Resurrection of Christ did - bringing in the law of love and grace. All this is in Hebrews (I forget where). Where 2 or more are gathered, it ALWAYS gets done, by the Father and the Son.
