RE Deuteronomy 8-9 (LE Deut. 28-30) has some pertinent info when considering the coming covenant.
The people are gathered together to hear Moses read a covenant from the Lord. In the second paragraph, the Lord says that "this day thou art become the people of the Lord the God". They are now His people and he proceeds to say something like "here are the blessings you'll receive if you obey my commands, here are the cursing you'll receive if you disobey, and if that happens, I'll scatter and destroy you."
Really the whole thing needs to be read, but I think that's a good synopsis.
Let's not be scattered, destroyed, and give up our opportunity to another people, deal?
