Jeremiah 31:31-34 says, "The time is coming," declares The Lord, "When I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke My covenant though I was a husband to them. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time. I will put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people . . . For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
The above four scriptures will be the foundation of a study comparing the Old Blood Covenant with the New Blood Covenant. Our goal is to answer the following key questions:
What Is A Covenant?
What Types Of Covenants Did God Create?
When Did The Old Blood Covenant Start?
Through Whom Did God Create The Old Blood Covenant?
How Was The Old Blood Covenant Created?
Why Was It Necessary For God To Create The New Blood Covenant?
Through Whom Did God Create The New Blood Covenant?
What Is A Covenant? A covenant is a solemn agreement or promise between two or more parties and was established with a document or ceremony. An Unconditional Covenant is when one party keeps all of a set of promises. The Old Blood Covenant illustrated Jehovah God keeping a number of promises for His Chosen People - The Jewish People.
How did the Old Blood Covenant start? Genesis 12:2-3 shows God speaking to Abraham, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." These two verses are a perfect example of an Uncoditional Covenant in which God makes seven promises to Abraham and his descendants. Jehovah God kept all these covenant promises of the Old Blood Covenant and continues to keep them today. Bless His Holy Name!
Next week's message will explore how Jehovah God literally established the Old Blood Covenant. Stay Tuned!
May The Lord Bless You This Day And Every Day,
