This is why it is important to understand that God has progressively given more revelation over time. It is also important to understand that the physical manifestation of something is designed to reveal spiritual reality.
In the NT, God reveals through Paul that there is a physical Israel and a spiritual Israel, and that not all Israeli descendants are included in the Israel of God. The Israel of God is those who throughout history who have been joined to God through Christ.

Jeremiah doesn't limit the group, but specifies a particular group. It doesn't mean it can't also apply to others.
In Jeremiah's time. God was dealing almost exclusively with the Jews. And He chooses to reveal as He does. But it was always God's plan to fill the earth with the knowledge of His glory. We can understand this from the creation mandate. What and when God chooses to reveal these things is in His purview.
