Bible Study Gods Covenants

[for_his_glory]

Bible Covenants:

With Noah to save him and his family, Genesis 6:18

With Noah and his descendants to never again destroy the world by flood. (Genesis 9:9-17)

With Abram to give him and his descendants the land we call Israel today and to destroy the inhabitants of that land because of their great sins (Genesis 15:18-21)

God's follow-up with Abram, changing his name to Abraham, and designating him the father of many nations and millions of descendants, and adding the covenant of circumcision, and promising him Isaac as a son and the inheritor of it (Genesis chapter 17). God made His with Abraham unconditional. (Genesis 22:12-18)

God's conditional one with the children of Israel, requiring their keeping God's law and circumcision, in return for physical blessings (Exodus 19-4). Further terms (conditions) of this covenant were expounded later (Leviticus chapters 25-27; Deuteronomy chapters 29- 31).

With the children of Israel concerning the Sabbath. (Exodus 31:14-18)

God's concerning the Ten Commandments and Holy Days designated by God. (Exodus 34:10 - 35)

God's concerning the bread in the Tabernacle, and later the Temple, to be eaten only by the priests, descendants of Aaron. (Leviticus 24:8,9)

God promised a new covenant in the Bible. (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

God, in the Bible, spoke of His unconditional covenant with King David of Israel and of His continuing, unconditional covenant with Jacob's descendants. (Jeremiah 33:19-36)

God spoke of "divorcing" Israel and Judah, thus ending the earlier covenant, and of establishing a new one with them. (Ezekiel 16:59-63)

The most important one - the new covenant - established by Jesus upon His death. (Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews chapters 7 - 10). Paul described the only new ritual of it. (1Corinthians 11:23-30)

I've heard it said there were 5 major covenants.

1. Noah which was a universal covenant to never flood the world again. This is signified by the rainbow.

2. Abraham. This was to make Abram a father of many nations and grant his decendents the land of Canaan. Aka the Promise Land.

3. Mt. Sinai. This was a covenant to all of Israel which bound them to the 614 laws contained within Torah.

4. David. The promise that Davids descendent would rule the throne.

5. The new covenant in Christ which fulfilled the covenant with David made the Sinai covenant obsolete.

Someone told me that there are over 6000 covenant promises in the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. These covenants are for our instruction of how to remain in Gods will.

I am very happy to see you!

How do gentiles receive the promises or blessings? Which covenant is with Abraham and his One Seed?
Which covenant is the covenant for actual physical land to the 12 tribes?

Most often when questions are posted in the threads they may be asked of a member but also open to anyone to answer...

ADDED: see for_his_glory says so too

 

[His_nee (Jeff)]

thanks all, i figured it was probably open to most to comment on, but liked to double check for the time....

Deborah, Usually gentiles do not receive the promises or the blessings.
"How to " is a good question as the promises and blessings
are to all as many as God has chosen and is pleased to be generous to.
The limits are all His,
not set by man, but man / mankind often limits or even refuses what God has offered.

"Usually the gentiles do not receive the promises or the blessings" ----
I put it this way because
usually the gentiles do not receive the promises of the blessings God has offered.

Looks simple, and a lot of the world (and many Christians) will jump at it and say WRONG!.... so,
always,
always,
always go to Scripture and God in prayer to find out the truth, and to verify the truth anyone else brings as God provides.

1 John 1-5 provides a lot of information, a lot of truth, yet simply, that is often ignored or rejected by everyone, in and out of church.

(i'll watch to see if the bible reference posts, as i just a few minutes ago read about it for this forum's use - to link to the bible)

more later.... i'm not sure at this point how to be more specific yet. it's a big wide-open subject, gloriously!

We being Gentile are grafted into that of Christ.

Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

I've never tried it. I use E-sword (internet Bible) to copy and paste scripture.

I don't use it either but others do.
I tried what I could just now to see if I could do it, nada, sorry.

And Welcome to CF.net. Glad to see you!

Thanks for your reply.
It is a wide subject for sure.
These two questions are covenant specific answers. I'm not sure I even worded them well.

 

[His_nee (Jeff)]

oh, yes, you worded them well enough to be understood. it may turn out to be a lot different than first expected, eh? (I'm not at all sure the direction this could go yet, but God sure knows).

p.s.
the scripture refs WORKS ---- had to , (have to?) , enable /disable noscript to allow the java or hyperstuff to do its job....

let's see if it works here:
John 3:16 (I'll post again in a minute) SHALOM!

 

[His_nee (Jeff)]

(yep -- the bible ref works -- hover the little blinking thing over the verse and it pops up ) (cursor) ahha
