God appears to Abram for the fourth time and reaffirms his promise to make Abram's descendants as numerous as the stars. To confirm this covenant, God instructs Abram to bring various animals and cut them in half. As the sun goes down, God puts Abram into a deep sleep and passes between the animal pieces, symbolizing his commitment to the covenant. God then outlines the land he will give to Abram's descendants and the generations of slavery they will endure before being delivered from Egypt. The document then provides background on the major biblical covenants between God and mankind.

This document summarizes the biblical account of God's covenant with Noah found in Genesis chapters 6-9. It discusses key points of the covenant including that it was made between God, Noah, and all living creatures after the flood to repopulate the earth. The covenant established that man would have dominion over animals, a change in man's diet to include meat but forbid eating blood, capital punishment for murder, and God's promise to never again destroy all life with a flood as symbolized by the rainbow. The Noahic covenant established the rules and authority for man's governance after the flood and remains in effect today.

1) Genesis 9 commands humanity to "be fruitful and increase in number," emphasizing the importance of procreation.
2) God establishes a covenant after the flood with Noah, all living creatures, and the earth, promising never again to destroy all life with a flood. This is described as a universal and unilateral covenant.
3) The sign of this covenant is the rainbow, using the specific Greek word "iris" to denote a rainbow rather than a generic "bow."
1) The document summarizes key passages from Genesis about Abraham (called Father Abraham), the founding father of Israel.
2) Genesis 12 describes God's call for Abraham to leave his home and bless all nations, and Genesis 15 records God's covenant with Abraham to give him numerous descendants and the land of Canaan.
3) Genesis 17 details God changing Abraham's name, establishing an everlasting covenant, and instituting circumcision as its sign to be practiced on all males in Abraham's household for generations.
This document discusses God's providence and kingdom warfare. It contains:
1) A definition of God's providence as His almighty power that upholds and rules over all things, allowing both good and bad things to happen according to His divine plan and reasons.
2) A discussion of the kingdom warfare model from the Bible, where Christians are in a spiritual struggle against the rulers and authorities of this dark world, and the god of this age has blinded people to the gospel.
3) Quotes about kingdom warfare prayer transitioning from resignation to revolt, calling Christians to arms in the spiritual struggle through personal and missional passion.

It explains that the 12 sons were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph, and Benjamin. However, the tribes that inherited land in Canaan did not exactly match the 12 sons due to Levi receiving no land and Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh each becoming tribes. The document then focuses on the tribes of Ephraim and Dan, explaining how they turned away from God and were judged as a result.
God instructed Abram to bring animals and birds to make a covenant between them. Abram cut the animals in half and laid the pieces opposite each other. A deep sleep and darkness fell on Abram. God told Abram his descendants would be slaves in Egypt for 400 years but then leave with great possessions. God said he would give Abram's descendants the land from Egypt to the Euphrates River.

Abraham – The Exalted Father Genesis 17David Turner
God appears to Abram when he is 99 years old and changes his name to Abraham, promising that he will be the father of many nations. God establishes a covenant with Abraham, promising the land of Canaan to his descendants forever and that He will be their God. As a sign of this covenant, God commands that every male, including those born into or bought into Abraham's household, must be circumcised. Though Abraham laughs at the idea of his wife Sarah bearing a son at 90 years old, God promises that she will give birth to Isaac, through whom God will keep His covenant. God also promises to bless Abraham's other son Ishmael and make him a great nation.

This document is a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on January 3, 2016. It discusses the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5:1-16, which contains Jesus' teachings known as the Beatitudes. The sermon analyzes each part of the passage, emphasizing that the Sermon on the Mount establishes very high ethical standards that humans cannot attain through their own efforts. It notes that while the Sermon on the Mount provides guidance, it does not supply the power to follow its teachings. Believers require the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to live according to God's will. The sermon encourages studying the principles of the Sermon on the Mount in light of other script
The document discusses the biblical story of God's covenant with Abraham. It summarizes key events like God calling Abraham to leave his home and promising to make him a great nation, Abraham demonstrating his faith in God by being willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, and God sealing the covenant by passing between divided animal sacrifices alone while Abraham watched. The document argues that this covenant foreshadows God's ultimate sealing of the new covenant through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross.
God instructed Abram to bring animals for a covenant ceremony to affirm his promise of the land. Abram brought the animals and cut them in half, then waited as birds of prey came. As the sun went down, a deep sleep and darkness came over Abram. God then revealed to Abram that his descendants would be slaves in a foreign land for 400 years, a future fact they could later verify. This ceremony made the covenant between God and Abram unquestionable for generations to come.
The document discusses the three covenants that God made with Abraham according to Jewish scripture. The first covenant promised Abraham land and that he would become a great nation. The second covenant reiterated the promises of land and descendants, with Abraham sacrificing animals as instructed by God. The third covenant established circumcision as a sign of the covenant for all male descendants of Abraham to be circumcised at eight days old. These covenants established Abraham as the father of the Jewish people and placed responsibilities on Jews to follow the Torah.
Man of Faith: Conversation with God Genesis 15Ed Sullivan
God promises Abram that his descendants will possess the land of Canaan. Abram questions how this can be since he has no heir. God tells him that a son from his own body will be his heir. When Abram believes God, it is credited to him as righteousness. God makes a covenant with Abram, passing between pieces of sacrificed animals, promising the land from Egypt to Euphrates to his descendants.
This document summarizes a sermon about the Abrahamic covenant between God and Abraham. The sermon discusses how God initiated the covenant by calling Abraham to leave his home and promised to make him a great nation. God established the covenant unilaterally, promising Abraham land and many descendants. God later affirmed the covenant, changing Abraham's name and promising the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession. The sermon applies the covenant by discussing how it reveals God as a God of relationship, promise, and blessing who invites people into relationship with Him through faith in response to His promises.
Genesis 3.15, 21; 12.1-9 CBT Week One Faith-walkers 2019Lazarou Richard
This document provides a summary of Genesis 3:15, 21 and 12:1-9 from the Bible. It discusses how God required faith from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by laying out a prohibition. After the fall, God responded by beginning the redemption process through the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15. The document then summarizes how God called Abram to leave his home and promised to make him a great nation, requiring Abram's faith in following God's command. It poses discussion questions about having faith in God's promises and not one's own understanding. The lesson teaches that God gives promises and looks for faith, while redemption comes through Jesus Christ.
God made promises to Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan. This included both Isaac's descendants (the Israelites) and Ishmael's descendants (the Arabs). However, there were conditions for occupying the land - the Israelites must obey God's commandments. If they disobeyed, God would drive them out of the land and scatter them among the nations as punishment. Only when the Israelites finally return to God and obey him will they regain possession of the entire promised land. As of the time of this document, the Israelites had not yet returned to God, so they do not fully control the land.
The Parousia - Gods sovereign prophetic plan for IsraelRobin Schumacher
1. The document discusses God's sovereign plan for Israel according to biblical prophecy, including God's unconditional covenant with Abraham to give Israel the land of Canaan forever.
2. It describes how the biblical prophecies of Israel's persecution and exile were fulfilled when they were enslaved in Egypt and dispersed to foreign nations by Assyria and Babylon.
3. Jesus himself prophesied that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple would come in A.D. 70, which was fulfilled when the Romans besieged and leveled Jerusalem.
The document discusses God's unfolding plan of redemption outlined in four phases:
1) Kingdom promised (Genesis 1-2)
2) Kingdom pre-figured (Genesis 3-Malachi) fulfilled through Israel
3) Kingdom fulfilled (Matthew-Revelation) fulfilled through Christ
4) Kingdom consummated (Revelation)
It argues that Israel was the provisional, earthly fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, while Christ brings the perfect, eternal fulfillment as the true "Seed" and heir to the promise. Key covenants and passages relating Abraham's promise to both Israel and Christ are examined.
Abram and Lot had to separate their herds and flocks because there was not enough land to support them together. Abram offered for Lot to choose which direction he wanted to go, and Lot chose to head east toward the well-watered Jordan Valley. This separated them, with Abram settling in the land of Canaan and building an altar to the LORD, while Lot settled near Sodom. God then reaffirmed his promise to Abram, saying that all the land he could see would belong to his offspring forever.
This document discusses Genesis 12:1-3, where God promises Abraham that he will make him into a great nation and bless all peoples on earth through him. It argues this passage reveals God's overarching purpose or storyline in the Bible. God is establishing a people for himself. The document then outlines how this promise is fulfilled for Abraham, then for both Jews and Gentiles through Christ, and will ultimately be fulfilled in Revelation when vast numbers from every nation come to God's throne room, mirroring the promise to Abraham of uncountable descendants.
1) God promises Abram that his descendants will possess the land of Canaan, from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates river.
2) God initiates a covenant with Abram, instructing him to bring various animal sacrifices. As the animals are cut in half, a smoking firepot and flaming torch pass between the pieces, symbolizing God's commitment to the covenant.
3) God reveals that Abram's descendants will be slaves for 400 years but will later leave with great possessions. God also promises that Abram will live to a good old age and be buried peacefully.
The passages describe God speaking to Abram and promising him descendants as numerous as the stars, despite Abram currently being childless. Abram questions how this can be since he has no heir. God establishes a covenant with Abram, promising the land from Egypt to Mesopotamia to his offspring. Abram believes God, trusting in this unlikely promise, which is credited to him as righteousness.
God gave his one and only Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. The Bible recounts how God established a covenant with Abraham, promising that through Abraham's offspring all people on earth will be blessed. Central to this covenant was God's promise to give Abraham the land of Canaan. Similarly, God's new covenant through Jesus provides forgiveness of sins and righteousness for all people through faith in Jesus' atoning sacrifice on the cross as payment for sins.
Genesis 3.15; 21 12.1-9 CBT Week 1 Faith-walkers 2019Lazarou Richard
This document provides a summary of Genesis chapters 3 and 12 from the Chronological Bible Teaching (CBT) resource. It discusses how God required faith from Adam and Eve in the garden through the prohibition against eating from the tree of knowledge. It also discusses how God required faith from Abram when calling him to leave his home and follow Him, promising to make Abram into a great nation. The document emphasizes that God looks for those who believe His promises and walk by faith, and that Jesus fulfills God's promise of redemption. It prompts applying the lesson by taking the first step of faith that gives God glory.
This chapter begins with a new revelation of God as El Shaddai to Abram, and continues with God changing Abram's name to Abraham and Sarai's name to Sarah. What relevance do these names have for us today? The chapter closes with God's decree that His Covenant to Abraham will be fulfilled through Isaac and not Ishmael. Understanding this chapter is critical in rightly understanding biblical eschatology, prophecy in general and the conflicts in the MidEast.
This sermon discusses how to be a "Winner for Life" according to Genesis passages about Abraham. It highlights five "I Wills" promises God made to Abraham to bless and protect him. The sermon encourages removing idols, listening to God's voice, trusting God's plan, and finishing with God in order to find success as Abraham did through his faith in God and obedience.

The document discusses prophecies from Isaiah about God restoring the heavens and earth and creating a new Jerusalem without weeping or crying. It then discusses passages from the New Testament about how believers should live in light of these prophecies, looking forward to Christ's appearing and purifying themselves. The document also provides summaries about the characteristics and features of Christ's future millennial kingdom based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation.
The document discusses the future reign of Christ on earth based on passages from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, and Revelation. It describes the main features of the future millennial kingdom as an earthly kingdom where Christ will reign for 1000 years after His second coming. Resurrected saints from all ages will reign with Christ on earth and assist in His rule. The kingdom will be a time of peace and prosperity without evil or harm.
This passage from Isaiah 58 discusses God's condemnation of empty worship rituals among his people that are not accompanied by righteous living and care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires loosening bonds of wickedness, sharing with the hungry, and clothing the naked. The prophet Isaiah lived during a time of rebuilding after the exile when the temple had been reconstructed but the city walls remained in ruins. God promises blessings of light, guidance, strength, and renewal for those who repent from sin and pursue justice. The sermon references other passages emphasizing that God desires mercy over sacrifice and that true salvation will come through God himself acting as righteous judge and redeemer through the coming Messiah.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Isaiah 58:1-12. It examines God's condemnation of hypocritical worship among his people, who were going through the motions of fasting and prayer but without true repentance or care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires acts of justice, mercy, and humility. The document places this passage in historical context during the post-exilic period when the temple had been rebuilt but Jerusalem's walls remained in disrepair. It concludes by connecting Isaiah's prophecy to the ultimate salvation God provides through Jesus Christ.
1) The document discusses Isaiah 53, which prophesies the coming of Jesus as the suffering servant who would bear the sins of humanity.
2) It analyzes various verses from Isaiah 53 that describe Jesus' humble upbringing, rejection, suffering, and death on the cross in fulfillment of these prophecies.
3) The author argues that the chapter paints a clear picture of Jesus and his redemptive work, though some Jewish people did not accept that it referred to him.
This document provides an analysis and commentary on Isaiah 53:1-12. It discusses how this passage prophesies Jesus as the suffering servant who would bear the sins of humanity. Some key points made include: Jewish people historically did not believe Isaiah 53 referred to Jesus as they were expecting a conquering messiah; the passage depicts the servant as having no beauty or majesty and being despised and rejected; it describes how he would bear our sorrows and be wounded for our transgressions so that through his suffering we can be healed. The document analyzes various verses in depth to draw connections between the prophecy and Jesus' life and crucifixion.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 49:1-13. It summarizes that:
1) The passage promises comfort for God's people and the coming of a Messiah who will be a servant and bring salvation to all nations.
2) Jesus fulfills the prophecies as the suffering servant who is called and named by God from birth to be a light to the Gentiles.
3) The passage prophesies that the servant will be rejected but later worshipped, establish a new covenant, and guide God's people to salvation.
1) The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 49:1-13 from a Sunday school lesson. It examines how this passage prophesies comfort for God's people through a coming servant Messiah and how Jesus fulfills this prophecy.
2) Key points include how Isaiah 49 promises a Messiah who will bring salvation for Israel and all nations, depicted as a servant who is named and empowered by God.
3) The document analyzes how Jesus fulfills this prophecy by being God's chosen servant who is rejected by men but brings salvation, being made a light to the Gentiles and worshipped by all through his death and resurrection.
This document contains the summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses Isaiah 46:3-13, focusing on God's care for his people and how he alone is worthy of worship unlike idols. It includes quotes from the Bible passage and hymns like "His Eye is on the Sparrow" to illustrate the theme that God watches over and protects believers.
This document provides a summary of a Sunday school class discussion on putting God first in all things and trusting in His care. It includes summaries of Bible passages from Isaiah, Psalms, and Matthew discussing not worshipping idols and trusting that God watches over His people. The hymn "His Eye is on the Sparrow" is analyzed, inspired by verses on God caring for even sparrows. The class discussed how tragedies can humble us and that God saves those who recognize their need.
God instructs Isaiah to comfort God's people with three messages: 1) God is sovereign and in control, even during difficult times. 2) God will fulfill his purposes, such as forgiving Israel and sending a Redeemer. 3) God will sustain his people, though all humanity is transitory except God's eternal word. The prophecy looks forward to Israel's restoration after the coming exile.
The document provides an overview of a Sunday school lesson on Isaiah 40. It discusses the historical context during Isaiah's time, the message of comfort God instructed Isaiah to provide to Judah facing exile, and how this message still applies today. The lesson focuses on how Isaiah conveyed that God is sovereign, will fulfill his purposes, and sustain his people. It also provides biblical references on God's comfort and plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
The document provides an overview and summary of Isaiah 34-39 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses the historical context involving King Hezekiah of Judah rebelling against Assyria, the confrontation with Rabshakeh representing Sennacherib, Hezekiah's prayer to God, and God's response promising to defend Jerusalem for his own sake and for David. Key themes are God hearing and answering prayer, defeating the enemies of his people, and bringing hope and salvation.
The document provides a summary of Isaiah 34-39 from a Sunday School class. It discusses the historical context involving King Hezekiah of Judah rebelling against the Assyrian king Sennacherib in 701 BC. It describes the Rabshakeh threatening Jerusalem on behalf of Sennacherib, and Hezekiah praying to God for deliverance. God responds through Isaiah, promising to deliver Jerusalem and put a spirit in Sennacherib so he returns to his own land.
Isaiah 31 discusses God's promise to protect Israel and Judah if they trust in Him rather than forming alliances with other nations like Egypt. It warns that those who seek protection from Egypt will be put to shame, as the Egyptians are merely mortal while God is all-powerful. The chapter promises that God will come down to defend Jerusalem from Assyria, represented as a lion, and will shield and deliver His people. It calls the Israelites to repent and return to God to receive His protection.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Isaiah 31. It summarizes that the chapter warns Israel and Judah against forming an alliance with Egypt and relying on Egyptian horses and chariots for protection against Assyria. While Egypt can provide military strength, God promises to protect Jerusalem himself. The chapter exhorts the people to repent from idolatry and return to trusting God for their defense. It prophesies that Assyria will fall not by human hands but by the sword of God in response to their threats against Judah.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sins and breaking God's covenant. This judgement is described in Isaiah 24-27 and referred to as Isaiah's Apocalypse. However, God also has a plan for salvation and will deliver the remnant of people from the ends of the earth who worship him. Ultimately, God will reign eternally in Jerusalem and provide salvation for all people through his son Jesus Christ.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sin and breaking of His covenant. Isaiah 24-27 discusses this coming judgement, including how God will devastate the earth and punish both earthly kings and the hosts of heaven. However, it also promises ultimate salvation and a banquet for all people on God's holy mountain when He defeats death. The passage encourages believers that though judgement is coming, God has a plan for hope and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
This document provides a summary and analysis of Isaiah 23:1-18. It discusses Tyre's historical relationship with Israel as an important Phoenician seaport city. God prophesied Tyre's destruction through Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the Great because of the city's pride. The prophecy warns that no place, including Cyprus, will provide rest for Tyre's inhabitants. It also foretells that Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years but trade will slowly resume. The document applies lessons about God's sovereignty over nations and his hatred of pride.
The document provides commentary on Isaiah 23, which prophesies the destruction of the Phoenician city of Tyre. It discusses Tyre's history and relationship with Israel, highlighting its pride and role in commerce and idolatry.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

• Abram replies that he is still childless—as if God needed reminding—
however Abram brought this to God’s attention—have you ever had that
thing that was bothering you? Did you take it to God? Lay it at His feet.

• God said Abram’s seed would outnumber the stars—Abraham actually
had 2 seeds.
1. The physical seed—the nation of Israel.
2. The spiritual seed—the Church established by Jesus.
Genesis 15:6
6 And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.
• This is one of the greatest statements in the Bible—Abram believed in the
LORD—that’s all he did—Believe.
• This should put to rest the argument over a works based faith.
• Abraham did nothing—no work, no effort, he just believed!!!
9. Genesis 15:7-8
7 And He said unto him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 And he said, “LORD God, how shall I know that I will inherit it?”
• God says He brought Abram out of Ur to give him this land and Abram
asks “how shall I know?”.
• This makes me a little nervous but remember Abram has just said I believe
and that settled the issue.
• The question is how will I know?
• A simple question.
Genesis 15:9-10
9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female
goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Then he
brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed
each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.
• God tells Abram to get some specific animals which Abram did and he cut
the animals in two and placed the pieces opposite of each other.
Genesis 15:11
11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them
away.
• Abram chased away the buzzards.
Genesis 15:12-15
12 Now when the sun was going down a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and
behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then He said to Abram:
“Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not
theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.” 14 “And
also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with
great possessions. 15 Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you
shall be buried at a good old age.” 16 “But in the fourth generation they shall
return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
• As the sun was going down a deep sleep fell upon Abram and God told
Abram about the time of the Israelites in Egypt and their deliverance.
10. Genesis 15:17
17 And it came to pass that when the sun went down and it was dark, that
behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed
between those pieces.
• When the sun went down a smoking oven and a flaming torch passed
between the pieces of cut animals.
Genesis 15:18-21
18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your
descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the
River Euphrates— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the
Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the
Jebusites.”
In Scripture we see two different types of covenants that God makes with men.
Some are unconditional covenants, which God will keep regardless of man’s
actions. Others are conditional in that man must obey the terms of the covenant
in order to receive the promises related to it.
• Adamic
• Noahic
• Abrahamic
• Palestinian
• Mosaic
• Davidic
• New
Adamic Covenant
• The Adamic Covenant can be thought of in two parts: the Edenic
Covenant (innocence) and the Adamic Covenant (grace) (Genesis 3:16-
19). The Edenic Covenant is found in Genesis 1:26-30; 2:16-17. The Edenic
Covenant outlined man’s responsibility toward creation and God’s
directive regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The
Adamic Covenant included the curses pronounced against mankind for
the sin of Adam and Eve, as well as God’s provision for that sin (Genesis
3:15).
11. Noahic Covenant
• The Noahic Covenant was an unconditional covenant between God and
Noah (specifically) and humanity (generally). After the Flood, God
promised humanity that He would never again destroy all life on earth with
a Flood (see Genesis chapter 9). God gave the rainbow as the sign of the
covenant, a promise that the entire earth would never again flood and a
reminder that God can and will judge sin (2 Peter 2:5).
Abrahamic Covenant
• Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12:1-3, 6-7; 13:14-17; 15; 17:1-14; 22:15-18).
In this covenant, God promised many things to Abraham. He personally
promised that He would make Abraham’s name great (Genesis 12:2), that
Abraham would have numerous physical descendants (Genesis 13:16),
and that he would be the father of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:4-5).
God also made promises regarding a nation called Israel. In fact, the
geographical boundaries of the Abrahamic Covenant are laid out on
more than one occasion in the book of Genesis (12:7; 13:14-15; 15:18-21).
Another provision in the Abrahamic Covenant is that the families of the
world will be blessed through the physical line of Abraham (Genesis
12:3; 22:18). This is a reference to the Messiah, who would come from the
line of Abraham.
Palestinian Covenant
• Palestinian Covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-10). The Palestinian Covenant, or
Land Covenant, amplifies the land aspect that was detailed in the
Abrahamic Covenant. According to the terms of this covenant, if the
people disobeyed, God would cause them to be scattered around the
world (Deuteronomy 30:3-4), but He would eventually restore the nation
(verse 5). When the nation is restored, then they will obey Him perfectly
(verse 8), and God will cause them to prosper (verse 9).
Mosaic Covenant
• Mosaic Covenant (Deuteronomy 11; et al.). The Mosaic Covenant was a
conditional covenant that either brought God's direct blessing for
obedience or God's direct cursing for disobedience upon the nation of
Israel. Part of the Mosaic Covenant was the Ten Commandments (Exodus
20) and the rest of the Law, which contained over 600 commands—
roughly 300 positive and 300 negative. The history books of the Old
Testament (Joshua–Esther) detail how Israel succeeded at obeying the
Law or how Israel failed miserably at obeying the Law. Deuteronomy
11:26-28 details the blessing/cursing motif.
12. Davidic Covenant
• Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:8-16). The Davidic Covenant amplifies the
“seed” aspect of the Abrahamic Covenant. The promises to David in this
passage are significant. God promised that David's lineage would last
forever and that his kingdom would never pass away permanently (verse
16). Obviously, the Davidic throne has not been in place at all times. There
will be a time, however, when someone from the line of David will again sit
on the throne and rule as king. This future king is Jesus (Luke 1:32-33).
New Covenant
• New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). The New Covenant is a covenant
made first with the nation of Israel and, ultimately, with all mankind. In the
New Covenant, God promises to forgive sin, and there will be a universal
knowledge of the Lord. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law of Moses
(Matthew 5:17) and create a new covenant between God and His people.
Now that we are under the New Covenant, both Jews and Gentiles can be
free from the penalty of the Law. We are now given the opportunity to
receive salvation as a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Our Covenant God, Kay Arthur
• In Genesis 15:18 when it says the LORD “made a covenant,” the phrase in
Hebrew is karath beriyth.
• In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word for covenant is beriyth
(pronounced “ber-eeth”).
• The word beriyth…is a compact (…made by passing between pieces of
flesh)
• A beriyth between God and man it is a covenant accompanied by signs,
sacrifices, and a solemn oath that sealed the relationship with promises of
blessing for keeping the covenant and curses for breaking it.
• The history of this Hebrew word beriyth (as scholars piece it together)
offers further insight.
• The general opinion is that the word is derived from the Hebrew verb
barah, “to cut,” and therefore contains a reminder of the ceremony we
just looked at in Genesis 15.
• Let’s look at a word combination that illumines the meaning of making a
covenant.
• Usually when we read in our English translations of the Old Testament
about someone “making a covenant,” the phrase includes the two
Hebrew words karath and beriyth.
• The verb karath in this expression literally means “to cut off, cut down, fell,
cut or make.”
• So to “make a covenant” is literally to “cut covenant.”
13. Our Covenant God, Kay Arthur
• Every time you read through the Word and see the phrase “made a
covenant,” remember that a covenant was cut; there was shedding of
blood.
• “In such a covenant the one passing through the pieces pledged his
faithfulness to the covenant. If that faithfulness was broken, he called
death upon himself, or the same fate which befell the animals.”
• God the Father obligated Himself unconditionally to cut a covenant on
behalf of you and me that would be sealed by the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit.
• Abram does nothing but observe the commitment of God to His promise.
• Everything God does is based on covenant.
• Covenant was a pledge to death. A pledge born of love. A pledge cut in
blood. This is the root of covenant.
• “When God enters into a covenantal relationship with men, he sovereignly
institutes a life-and-death bond. A covenant is a bond in blood, or a bond
of life and death, sovereignly administered.”
• To make a covenant is to take a walk into death.
• Covenant is serious business and not to be taken lightly.
• What is man’s response to God’s gift of a covenant relationship?
• When you enter into this covenant relationship you will be a changed
person.
• We should continually seek to grow to be more like Jesus.
Cultural Commentary, Jim Dennison
• First, admit that you need to be made more holy. Face the fact that the
timbers of your house are termite-infested with sin, that your walls are
stained with the mold of disobedience to God's word and will.
• Second, ask the Master Carpenter to remove what you cannot. Invite the
Holy Spirit to bring to your mind anything in your life that displeases God,
and confess all that comes to your thoughts. Do this at the start of every
day.
• Third, invite the Spirit to take control of your attitudes, thoughts, words and
actions (Ephesians 5:18). Ask him to manifest the character of Christ in
you. Then stay submitted to him all through the day. When you face a
decision, pray for his guidance. When you are tempted, pray for his
strength. When you fail, pray for his forgiveness and restoration. Stay
connected to the Source of your sanctification.
• Fourth, believe that God is answering your prayer. You may not be able to
see him at work, but he is. Sanctification is a lifelong process. Moment by
moment and day by day, God is transforming your life "to be conformed
to the image of his Son" (Romans 8:29).
