You are inferring something that you showed no evidence of.

Then show it, don't just accuse the texts of it. Show it from the word of
God, I am all ears.
What you are attempting to say is that these are special people, and all that
Christ did and taught was for their ears and their privileges alone. Leaving
all of humanity to suffer, and die without any hope. So was God just rubing
it in to all of humanity that was born after their deaths? Like, neener,
neener, neener? And contrary to the written word was this then only for the
Jews of that day?.

You have not shown that. Why is it that the Lord by His Spirit has shown me
what I know, and verified all that were applicable in my life. Contrary to
your suppositions? Yeah, I know pyotr loves to mock the "wifi" of God,
meaning the Holy Spirit of The Almighty.but what about you?
As an aside,“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;” (Joh 17:20)
Likewise what he taught them was for us also. You can try gymnastic games
with words and substitute you for he, but who are you fooling? By doing so
you can destroy the entire word of God, and for whose benefit are you doing
so?
Now, none of the hierarchy of the RCC can claim that the Holy Spirit was
involved in any of their decisions, teachings, doctrines, etc. Are you
comfortable with that?
What do you do with parts of the OT that teach or prophesy the Gospel message
for "ALL" people.

Men have made many mistakes in their assumptions just as you are doing in
this case.
Did you know that the time of the outpouring of the latter rain was
specified?

Then why post, you read the questions put to you in this thread, you replied
to the posts that had them incorporated in them, therefore your excuse just
above is simply a ruse, deceptive, since in the case of the thread you simply
bypassed them.

So one is a new year ordained of our Heavenly Father, the other ordained of
men.
As to Adam and Eve. That is ridiculous. While the days of Adam and Eve might
have been made up by man, it was still not of God. Its a bit like the
beginning of the worshiping of Mary 400 years ir more after the resurrection
of Christ.
