Could Gentiles claim Israel's covenants of promise?
No. Gentiles could not claim Israel's covenants of promise. Scripture states they were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from those covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Those covenants belonged only to the Jew, not to the Gentile, until Israel became the prepared, obedient people through whom God would reach Gentiles.
Les teaches that Gentiles had no rights from Israel because they were Gentiles and aliens. Ephesians 2:12 says they were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Israel had the covenants, but Gentiles could not say, “That’s for me.” It was only for the Jew. God was dealing with covenant promises for Israel until she became a prepared, spiritual, obedient people, and then He would send them into the Gentile world to bring Gentiles to a knowledge of their God. But Israel had been pounded with being special and could not get it out of their head that anybody else was worth a nickel.
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
