Followers of the First Covenant (orthodox Jews) are not necessarily damned - God doesn't make mistakes and the covenant is not wrong...the problem is if they can actually fully fulfil the first covenant without the temple. However, messianic Jews are in the fast lane.
Jesus came not to overthrow the law (overturn the covenant) but to fulfil it.
