That word 'carcase' is 'ptoma' in the Greek Manuscripts, meaning 'a ruin, i.e. (specifically) lifeless body (corpse; carrion)' (Strong's no.4430).

Gal 3:27   For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29    And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

     It is of the utmost importance, that it be understood that we haven't come into that final Kingdom of Heaven on earth yet. We are still in the flesh, and that Kingdom is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit .

 

I Cor.15:50; Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

 

In that sense, when we accept Christ today, whether one is Jew or Gentile, that Promise is now, but in The Holy Spirit being fulfilled within us, through our 'spiritual nature', as the Body of Christ. It cannot be fulfilled in the flesh nature of the world, as this flesh age is still given under Satan's control

 

Compare Luke 4:6 with Rev.11:15. For the same reason that we are yet still in the flesh, each nation or people, still have a 'flesh' Mission to accomplish according to God's Plan. But in the Spirit, those in Christ, no matter where they are, are already 'joint-heirs' of Christ's Kingdom, Which today still is in Heaven on The Right Hand of GOD, and not yet established upon earth.
       As always, there is a condition to partake of Christ's Kingdom. 'And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed...', is the condition. You must accept Christ Jesus as Saviour to fulfil that condition.

Peace be to you in Christ Jesus,
Dave Ramey.
