The Old Testament mentions the arrival of a new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34. .
Quote:
31"The time is coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their forefathers
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to them,"
declares the LORD .
33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time," declares the LORD .
"I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,'
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,"
declares the LORD .
"For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."
Fulfillment: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Hebrews 8:7-13

Weird that Yahweh would tell people almost 600 years prior about his plans to make a new covenant that none of Jeremiah's audience would be a part of.
He sure works in obscure and mysterious ways. :constern01:
