Transcripts
do you know what a covenant is the
Covenant is a contract or an agreement
and the Bible covenants are made between
God and His people there are eight
covenants in the Bible understanding
these covenants is the key to
understanding the entire meta-narrative
of God's purposes and ultimate will for
his people
let's take a look the identic covenant
the key word here is the word rule in
Genesis 2:15 right after God had created
man he put him in the garden told him to
care for it from the very beginning
God's eternal purpose for man was to
rule and enjoy him forever Psalm 8 says
you make him to rule over the works of
your hands you've put all things under
his feet David was saying you've made
something from nothing you're powerful
and you've made man ruler over your
creation to show your glory but man
rebelled and forsook his position we all
know the story Adam ate from the tree
that God told him not to eat and brought
sin into the world the penalty for sin
was death because God would not let man
live eternally in his sin so man lost it
we will need a second Adam to reclaim
God's original purpose for man to rule
but only after he redeems man from his
sin which brings us to the next covenant
number two is the Adamic covenant the
chief word here is the word Redemption
so because of Adam's sin God curses men
animals and the earth so it will yearn
for his Redemption so immediately after
sin occurs God tells us how he will deal
with it
genesis 3:15 god reveals his
unconditional covenant and his curse
upon the serpent by saying i will put
enmity between you and your seed meaning
satan and the woman's seed meaning jesus
he will crush your head and you will
strike his heel Satan will inflict minor
damage on Christ through crucifixion but
Christ will inflict major damage on
Satan by defeating the curse of death
Jesus is the only one who can accomplish
this because he will be born of the Holy
Spirit incarnated going around the curse
born without man sin as time went on
man's
found sin deteriorated into a sick and
depraved wasteland of evil until every
intent and thought on his heart was
wicked and God said I will wipe from the
face of the earth the human race I have
created and that took place in Genesis 6
verse 7
number 3 is called the noahic covenant
the key word here is the word restraint
this covenant shows an attribute of God
that we can be grateful for and that is
his restraint for instead of blotting
out the entire human race he preserved
Noah and all the animals in the ark and
restrained his wrath partly because of
his mercy but also partly because of his
covenants which he cannot change then in
Genesis 8:21 God makes a covenant that
he will never again destroy all living
creatures and gave Noah and the earth
the rainbow is a sign of that covenant
promise but man would soon turn back to
sin in an effort to make a name for
himself at the Tower of Babel where we
see the introduction of other gods so
God scattered them among the nations to
begin a new nation for himself
our fourth covenant is called the
Abrahamic covenant the key word here is
the word restore in Genesis 12 1 2 and 3
God chooses one man through whom he will
restore his people to himself Abraham
and in that covenant God promises him
three things and verse 1 he promises him
land and verse 2 he promises him a
people and in verse 3 he promises him
blessing the land was Israel the people
were the Jews and the blessing is they
will be the touchstone of God towards
all the people of every nation to know
of him through them to bless those who
bless you and to curse those who curse
you and God made good on his promise to
because as the nation grew greatly Egypt
enslaved them and God saw their
affliction and cursed Egypt greatly
through Moses and brought them safely
out in the Exodus our fifth covenant is
called the Mosaic Covenant key word here
is the word reveal now that Israel had
grown into a great multitude of people
God brought them to
cyanide to make a covenant this covenant
was to serve as a temporary supervisor
teaching the righteous standards of God
and reveal man's sin until the coming of
Christ in Leviticus 26 God tells Israel
in verse 1 have no other gods verse to
keep the Sabbath verse 3 keep his laws
and Commandments so while the first four
covenants were only up to God the Mosaic
Covenant has conditions for man and
through those conditions men will have
his sin revealed and he will see the
need for a sacrifice the Mosaic Covenant
was temporary until Christ fulfilled
every requirement of it living perfectly
and dying is the perfect sacrifice for
the sins of all who believed the sixth
covenant is called the Palestinian
covenant it's key word is return well
the old guys died and the young guys
forgot the Mosaic Covenant and didn't
keep God's laws so in Deuteronomy 29 God
tells them that they will not keep his
covenant and in Deuteronomy 30 verse 2
and 3 he tells them come back to me
because when they do and verse 4 and 5
reminds them of what God promised in the
Abrahamic covenant land seed and
blessing in verse 6 something more a new
heart which hasn't happened yet until
Christ returns and gathers them to a new
land the seventh covenant is called the
Davidic covenant and the key word here
is the word reign after 500 years of
judges chaotically administering God's
law God appointed a king named David
King David loved the Lord with all of
his heart and in 2nd Samuel 7 12 through
16 God makes a covenant with David that
he will give David's son Solomon three
things number one a throne number two a
house and number three a kingdom forever
after David died Solomon received the
benefit of this covenant with the most
prosperous Kingdom in Israel's history
but the Covenant promise was forever and
Solomon eventually died so this covenant
had a second meaning to reveal David's
greater son of another nature Jesus
Christ who would be from David's royal
line
490 years later the eighth covenant was
called the New Covenant key word here is
the word regenerate after david and
after many evil Kings in Israel and
Judah God sends Israel into exile under
Babylon but before he does he promises
them in Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 27
through verse 34 that he will bring them
back one day and give them and god
invents a term here he will give them a
new covenant and verse 32 God says they
have been like babies needing their hand
held but in verse 33 one day they will
be sons with new hearts like a Jewish
boy going through Bar Mitzvah becoming a
man this is Israel's Bar Mitzvah the law
was for babies teaching them about their
sin grace is for sons of God with the
law written on their hearts John the
Baptist said behold the lamb of God who
takes away the sins of the world it
hasn't happened to Israel yet but Jesus
spoke of this new covenant at the Last
Supper for the church as we were grafted
in so we got their King and their
covenant and in verse 34 God will
forgive everything they've done the
Christians purpose doesn't cast aside
Israel but makes Israel jealous until
the second coming of Jesus when all the
covenants will be fulfilled and God's
purpose from the very beginning for his
children to rule and enjoy him forever
will be accomplished once and for all
and those ladies and gentlemen are the
covenants of God
