That is a great question! The old covenanat moral law: the 10 commandments is still what is in effect. Jesus is the fulfillment of the ceremonial laws that the Jews did in the OT and yet while He also is the fulfillment of the moral law in that He never sinned the commands of Jesus to love God and to love our neigbor as ourselves is the summary of the 10 commandments and what we are to follow. The law pointed to mans sin and how we cannot by any means (as Jesus pointed out for instance in the: though shalt not murder by saying that being angry even is having murder in our hearts), perform the law perfectly and are in need of a Savior to save us from our sins. Those unbelieving Jews will be judged by the law and will be condemned for not having performed the law perfectly and for not having trusted in Jesus as the Messiah and their hope of Savation. Those of us who have trusted in Jesus as our righteousness and perfect sacrifice and High Priest now live by the law of liberty to honor our Lord and Savior in all that we do.

The Old Covenant is no more. If a person, Jew or Gentile or any other nationality don't come into the New Testament/Covenant of Jesus Christ, then they won't be saved.

how about the old covenant did it save anyone?
what about the land promised to Israel, it still has not received all of it?

The Old Covenant gave one a relationship with God, so yes,it did save, it was the decider of who was considered righteous and a child of God.
All land promises were fulfilled. These scriptures show each of the promises, the promise of a great nation, the earthly land promises, and the spiritual promises. The spiritual promises are the utmost of importance, the inheritance of the kingdom of God.
See Genesis 12:1-7; 13:14-17; 15:5-21; 17:2-8; 18:18; 22:17-18; 24:7; 26:3-4; 18:4, 13, 14; 35:12;46:3, 4; Exodus 6:2-8; 12-25; 13:5; 23:31; 32:15; 35:1.
