The heavenly city is not promised to the church, the body of Christ. The city is prepared for the Hebrews, the believing remnant of Israel.

But if the words: Israel, Church, sheep, sinful good seed, elect and GOD's legitimate children all refer to the same group undergoing different experiences designed to teach this group of people that there really is NO salvation to be found in any but the Divine Messiah, your conclusion is moot.

No law can save HIS sinful children.
No judge can save HIS sinful children.
No king can save HIS sinful children.
No prophet can save HIS sinful children.
Ony the death of the divine Messiah can save HIS sinful children.
