The Old and New Covenants are EXACTLY the issue on this thread.
Old Covenant, Levitical Priesthood.
New Covenant, Christ's Priesthood - different Tribe - Judah - New Law (Heb. 7:12).
How about not 'viewing' the covenants, but reading what they say, how they're different, and because of how their different, how they simply cannot both be in place at the same time.
Maybe here:
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief. (from Ecc. 1)
Those are the words of a man who recognized the futility of LIFE under the Law.
God's righteous judgement today is through Christ, not through the Law. Folks won't be judged based on whether they kept Law well enough, but whether they believed on the One God sent. (Jn. 3:16-18, 1 Jn. 3:23-24)

Looking over the fourteen or so posts you have made on this thread, it is obvious you have no understanding of the covenants or what it means to be in covenant with God. However, I am impressed by your willingness to let everyone realize that you are a babe in Christ, which allows us to take that into consideration when we post comments to you. I am much less bold than that and that may be a fault in me.
I tend to stick with the words of the first chapter of James as I have made a fool of myself before by blurting out things that popped into my mind.
James 1:19 Therefore, my dear brothers, let every person be quick to listen but slow to speak, slow to get angry;
20 for a person's anger does not accomplish God's righteousness!
21 So rid yourselves of all vulgarity and obvious evil, and receive meekly the Word implanted in you that can save your lives.
22 Don't deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it!
23 For whoever hears the Word but doesn't do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror,
24 who looks at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 But if a person looks closely into the perfect Torah, which gives freedom, and continues, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work it requires, then he will be blessed in what he does.
26 Anyone who thinks he is religiously observant but does not control his tongue is deceiving himself, and his observance counts for nothing.
I will be happy to help you if I can. I know it pleases God when His children discuss and study His Word peaceably so edification takes place.
