COVENANTS (ALL)

The laws of creation are relevant to all believers throughout human history. Under the Adamic Covenant, marriage between one man and one woman was established and continues through ALL COVENANTS and systems. Laws established by the Noahic Covenant after the flood stand forever as long as the signet of God, the rainbow, is still seen in the sky. Those include capital punishment and eating of meat is permissible. Practices such as altar sacrifices that were common after the flood and also continued into the Mosaic Covenant are nullified by the New Covenant after 70ad.

Circumcision was established under Abraham as a sign of the Abrahamic Covenant and was carried forward to the Mosaic Covenant system. The old heavens and old earth refer to the Judaist system under Mosas, yet include the Abrahamic Covenant as it related to the family of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.

The shaking (Gr. “saleuo”–unsettle, stir-up, remove) of the OLD HEAVENS refer to the old cosmology in the unseen realm with its new rules in the angelic world and it includes the Mosaic Covenant system. The shaking was necessary so that the NEW HEAVENS in the new cosmology in the unseen realm with its new rules in the angelic world, along with the New Covenant kingdom, which cannot be shaken, may remain.

‘See that you do not refuse HIM WHO SPEAKS. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks FROM HEAVEN, Whose voice THEN shook the earth (Israel); But NOW ALSO HEAVEN (covenants).‘ Now this, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the REMOVAL of those things that are BEING SHAKEN, as of the things that are made, that the things which CANNOT BE SHAKEN (spiritual kingdom) may REMAIN. Therefore, since we are receiving a KINGDOM which CANNOT BE SHAKEN, let us have GRACE, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”. -Heb 12:25-28

[Note: Covenant Theology (mostly Presbyterian) is different than NEW COVENANT theology (Preterism). The former, basically believes in two covenants (Covenant of Works and Covenant of Grace) with physical Israel and some of the moral Law continuing into the Covenant of Grace. Some of the promises and prophecies are yet to be fulfilled in their future.

The latter, believes in a NEW COVENANT that is a Covenant of Grace, which completely supersedes or fulfills shakable things that are removed so that the unshakable may remain. The Old Covenant (Jewish Mosaic religious system of Law, sacrifices, and ceremonies0 was all fulfilled by Christ and in Christ (every jot and tittle of it) in 70ad. All of the promise that have been misunderstood to be given physical Israel are fulfilled i n God’s spiritual Israel made up of born-again believers.

*Do we yet see we cannot live in two covenants! To do so is to commit spiritual adultery.

We are seeing in our time right now *2023 our government attempting to bring us back under legalism. Trying to bring the 10 commandments back into the court system. We are seeing the speaker of the house claiming that He has heard God call him to be the current Moses. WE are seeing the evangelical far right conservatives creating the NACL (National Association of Christian Lawmakers). This is a dangerous agenda- it sounds and seems very “Christian” like, but Jesus didn’t come so that we can create a system of laws that can lead to ultimate stoning, beheading and or hanging; this is the Noahide laws/7 mountain mandate that can dangerously lead us back into OLD TESTEMENT system!

We are not to force converts by forcing pharisee type religious/political system we are to bring people to Christ by preaching the Gospel – the GREAT COMMISION is the NEW GREAT COMMNANDMENT!

The only commandments that should be brought into any courts system are the ones that CHRIST has called us too. Jesus placed the laws upon our hearts so that we can walk them out with His internal spiritual leading, not legalistic demanding!

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matt 22:36-40
