Testament is another way of saying 'Covenant.' God gave His covenant to the House/Congregation/Church of Israel with physical laws to guide them and making them a model to all peoples.

He came to 'announce' the Kingdom of God and establish His Church with the Holy Spirit released into the world again, to train the 'firstfruits' in this government which will begin at HIs 2nd Coming - Millennial Rule.
