THE DIFFERENT COVENANTS YHWH MADE WITH YASHARAL NATION

"In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto your seed have I given
this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15.18).
by Qorbanyahu bayn Israel aka The End Time Scribe
From the first appearance of Adam in Genesis up unto the soon coming Kingdom, the seed
of promise and household of faith has been and continues to be intimately united in a
contractual agreement with the Creator of heaven, earth, sea and all that is in them. In fact,
the entire basis for the continuity of the existence of the people of Israel is exclusively
founded upon a covenant relationship with YHWH, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. This agreement, between YHWH and Israel, as told by Sha'ul of Tarsus in the fifth
chapter in the letter to assembly at Ephesus, can best be understood in the context of that
of a lawful marriage which is established upon basic conditions and principles that are to be
brought forth by the man, given the faithfulness of the woman, to whom he is betrothed.
According to Maurice Lamm, this agreement between a man and his wife, called a ketubah
[http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/465168/jewish/The-Marriage-Contract-Ketubah.htm] , is
intended to serve as a statement of law that provides the framework for love. As such, the
ketubah
Sealed In Blood: The Covenants
Of YHWH

2. restates the fundamental conditions that are imposed by the Torah upon
the husband, such as providing his wife with food, clothing, [shelter] and
conjugal rights, which are inseparable from marriage. It includes the
husband's guarantees to pay a certain sum in the event of divorce, and
inheritance rights obligatory upon his heirs in case he dies before his
wife.
[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--

Furthermore, the ketubah also establishes a document of deed that provides for the security
of women to be secured, which is effectuated by the obligations of the man with whom they
have entered matrimony. Designed to afford protection for the woman, the ketubah
is a charter of woman's rights in marriage and of man's duties. The ketubah is
designed for woman's protection, and every legal nuance in this matter was
developed so that her husband shall not regard it as easy to divorce her. In a
male-oriented society, the woman always needed more defense against the
violation of personal rights than the man. The ketubah required money to be
paid by the husband in case of divorce. This made it difficult for the husband
to divorce his wife without appropriate reflection and consideration. The
requirement of a scribe and a specially convened court and witnesses for a
divorce also protected the wife from an arbitrary husband, especially when the
Rabbis, in accordance with Hillel's dictum, were lenient with divorce.

3. Moreover, the ketubah protected whatever property was to be hers at the
termination of the marriage.
Provided this understanding of the marriage-like nature of the relationship between
YHWH and Israel, it is essential to understand how the structure of the Torah serves
as both the formal ketubah of the marriage covenant and the official constitution of
Heaven's connection with Earth. Being that the Torah is considered the blueprint of
the universe, containing instructions to humanity for its benefit, it would behoove any
individual desirous of serving YHWH, the Elohim of Israel, in Spirit and Truth, to
adhere to the Torah's precepts. As the foundation of the unique relationship of YHWH
with Israel, we find that according to the Harvard University Pluralism Project article,
Torah: Covenant and Constitution
[http://pluralism.org/religion/judaism/introduction/torah] , the Torah is
the expression of the covenant (brit) given by [YHWH] to the [Israelite]
people. Practically, Torah is the constitution of the [Israelite] people, the
historical record of origins and the basic legal document passed down
from the ancient Israelites to the present day. Torah provides the basis
for the [Israelites'] relationship to [YHWH] as well as their interactions as
a socio-political cultural group
As the defining document outlining the terms and conditions of Israel, the bride, as well as
the promises and provisions of YHWH, the bridgegroom, the Torah serves as the framework
for love that is to enjoin Israel to YHWH, as we read in the book of Exodus,
You do not make for yourself a graven image, nor any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that which is in the earth beneath, or
that which is in the water under the earth. You do not bow down to them,
nor serve them, for I Yahweh your Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the
fourth generation of them that hate me, but showing loving-kindness

4. [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-
Q1JIwlHAXk4/VIIh6UXLssI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/p_3T7DY7-pA/s1600/mitzvot.jpg]
unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments
(Exodus 20.-4-6).
Therefore, given this principle of love equating to the faithful keeping of the commandments
of the Torah, we can understand how the Torah qualitatively establishes the standard of love
for Israel as relates to their covenant responsibility with YHWH. In light of this principle, it
would be important for us at this juncture to understand exactly what a covenant is. We find
that the Hebrew word for covenant is ‫ית‬ ִ‫ר‬ ְ‫בּ‬ (ber-iyt), and is defined in the Strong's
Concordance with Hebrew and Greek Lexicon, #1285, [http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-
bin/strongs.cgi?file=hebrewlexicon&isindex=1285] as
(in the sense of cutting (like 1254 [http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?
file=hebrewlexicon&isindex=1254] -(absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut
down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes):-- choose, create
(creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).)); a compact (because made by

5. passing between pieces of flesh):--confederacy, (con-)feder(-ate), covenant,
league.
When we take a deeper look at the meaning of the word ‫ית‬ ִ‫ר‬ ְ‫,בּ‬ we find this definition
provided to us from the Bet HaShem Torah Dictionary
[http://www.crowndiamond.org/public/Dictionaries/BHM.dictionary.1stEd.pdf] , as follows
After taking these definitions into account, we find that the covenant between YHWH
and Israel is understood, in depth, as the confederacy of Heaven and Earth created
by the contractual agreement entered into at Mt. Sinai with the people of Israel, the
chosen people, in order to continually renew a realm of fire beings in creation who
have developed their intellect unto the attaining of totality through the study and
application of the doctrines given as ruling principles which will ultimately regenerate
the mind so that the covenanted members will rule over the blessed household of
faith.
covenant, a contract, agreement; a son/work that gives/receives all, without
restriction;lit., a receptive mind, responsible/active in continual renewal; a condensed
form of Beresheet: the fires of “beginnings” (realms of fire beings); being
fulfilled/concealed/contained/covered, by virtue of covenant; note: to enter covenant
is to develop the intellect unto attaining totality; as idol at Shechem: doctrines as
ruling principles. Value, 612: regenerative mind ruling/blessing the house.

6. It is this agreement between YHWH and Israel that has placed upon them the
responsibility to be faithful to the covenant by observing the decrees, right-rulings,
statutes, precepts, commandments, instructions and laws given by the Most High,
which, in turn, would provide the nation with the perpetual promise of provisions for
food, clothes and shelter, effectively securing eternal life for those bound to the
covenant. We witness this principle guaranteed to Israel in the scroll of Deuteronomy
when Moshe declared
And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to
guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that YHWH
your Elohim shall set you high above all nations on the earth, and all
these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the
voice of YHWH your Elohim (Deuteronomy 28.1-2).
Conversely, there is also the promise of a curse, which includes loss of food, clothes
and shelter, that remains when the covenant is not guarded and the people commit

7. spiritual adultery on YHWH.
And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to
guard to do all His commands and His laws which I command you today,
that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you...and all
these curses shall come upon you, and they shall pursue you and
overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the
voice of YHWH your Elohim, to guard His commands and His Laws
which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and
for a wonder, and on your seed, forever (Deuteronomy 28.15, 45-46).
It is for the sole reason of breaking the covenant that today we find the actual and
true seed of Israel suffering so much at the hands of disease, poverty and violence.
With the recent re-escalation of state sponsored terrorism in the form of police
brutality being carried out in the United States against so-called African-Americans, it
becomes all to clear that the curses of the covenant are still being carried out as we
can see the prophetic words of Jeremiah once again being fulfilled in our streets;
For death has come through our windows, has entered our palaces,
cutting off the children from the streets, and the young men from the
squares, speak, 'thus declares YHWH, the corpses of men shall fall as
dung on the face of the field, like cuttings after the reaper with none to
gather them...(Jeremiah 9.21-22).
Therefore, only until we as a people return to the Torah and embrace the terms and
conditions of the covenant, we will continue to experience the curses that are laid out
in Scripture. In this regard, however, it becomes evident that due to the interruption of
our cultural and historical continuum, we have lost the knowledge of what the
covenants consist, and therefore have continued to fall victim to the words of Hoshea
which declares
My people have perished for lack of knowledge. Because you have

8. [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-
VhdLhliDgXc/VIHzsz7e0BI/AAAAAAAAAQo/kjoHYUIoNr0/s1600/return.jpg]
rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest for Me. Since you
have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also forget your children
(Hoshea 4.6).
Our only solution is in rediscovering our agreement with Heaven and seeking to
restore our connection with our Creator by keeping the covenant as it is written,
...the loving-commitment of YHWH is from everlasting to everlasting
upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children,
to those who guard His covenant, and to those who remember His
orders to do them (Psalm 103.16-17).

THE COVENANTS
The Adamic Covenant
The first covenant that is revealed in Scripture is that with the patriarch Adam in the
Garden of Eden. There, Adam is given a four-fold directive and single prohibitive act
to carry out in the garden, which are to
1. reflect the image and likeness in which he was created

10. 2. to reign over creation and
3. to reproduce both spiritually and physically on earth[1]
[https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7590296225653387069#_ftn1] .
4. to partake of a vegetarian diet and
5. abstain from eating from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
6. Rest on the Sabbath
With these directives, it was the intent of YHWH to establish the manifest Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth through Adam's obedience to the one prohibitive command that he
was given; to not eat of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil. However, because of Adam's disobedience to the commandment, we find that a
renewed covenant was made with him. This covenant would entail a much more dire
and burdensome task for Adam and his progeny due to the corrupted state of
consciousness into which he descended. At this point, we find these new terms and
conditions given to Adam:
...because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of
the tree of which I commanded you, saying, do not eat of it: cursed is the
ground because of you, in toil you are to eat of it all the days of your life,
and the ground shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall
eat the plants of the field. By the seat of your face you are to eat bread
until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you
are, and to dust you return (Genesis 3.17-19).
This new chapter in the life of Adam presented an entirely new reality in that, most
drastically, he was now to become acquainted with death, something that had not
been created nor intended for him to experience. Secondly, his environment had
been completely altered being that he was exiled from the land that he was given and
placed in by the Most High. And lastly, the means by which he was to secure the
necessities of life now required greater effort from him as opposed to the almost labor
free existence that had once known. This altered state for Adam presented him with
great challenges heretofore unknown. We find that this covenant was instituted with

11. the shedding of blood, which later would become the most significant element for
ratifying and sealing of a covenant, when Adam and his bride were given coats of
skin by YHWH who had provided atonement for their life with the life of an animal. A
most profound reality and the hallmark of this Adamic Covenant is that the atoning
sacrifice and shedding of blood was executed by YHWH, which we will also see take
place with the last covenant that has been sealed with Israel. This face demonstrates
the consistency, continuity and magnanimity of our heavenly Father!
Interestingly, it is the initial covenant that Adam received which humanity will once
again experience after going through the necessary process of atonement to get back
to the original covenant that will be what the redeemed Israelites and Gentiles will
experience in the New Jerusalem and the New Earth at the advent of the Messianic
Age.
The Noachic Covenant
Considered the Universal Laws for humankind, the Noachic Covenant is the result
of the regeneration of humanity after the cataclysmic event of the flood which wiped
out the wicked on the Earth and repopulated it through the lineage of Noach. It is
considered the Universal Laws for humanity due to the fact that the terms and
conditions that it prescribes are the basic requirements for anyone who is not of the
Israelite bloodline to observe upon their entrance into the household of faith.
According to Israelite tradition, the Noachic covenant is what every Israelite is to
teach the other nations so that every Gentile who hears of the teachings of this
covenant will have an opportunity to experience life in the World to Come, known in
Hebrew as the olam ha'ba [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_to_come] .
The Noahic Covenant is based on six prohibitive laws and one injunction, which both
the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud
[http://www.betemunah.org/noachide.html#_Toc371689452] identify as:
1. Murder is forbidden

12. [http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2003/images/arklanding2.jpg]
2. Theft is forbidden
3. Incestuous and adulterous relations are forbidden
4. Eating the flesh of a living animal is forbidden
5. Idolatry is forbidden
6. Cursing the name of YHWH is forbidden (blasphemy)
7. Mankind is commanded to establish courts of justice
Similar in intent to the Adamic Covenant, as well as a continuity of Spiritual
consciousness to be attained by humanity, as are all of the future covenants, the

13. Noachic covenant was given in order to establish a spiritual precedent on earth that
would allow for the Shekinah presence of YHWH to again be present on Earth. Also
instituted with the shedding of blood, this covenant ultimately promises not to destroy
the entire human race as we know again with water.
And Noach built an altar to YHWH, and took of every clean beast and of
every clean bird, and offered ascending offerings on the altar. And
YHWH smelled a soothing fragrance, and YHWH said in His heart,
'never again shall I curse the ground because of man, although the
inclination of man's heart is evil from his youth, and never again strike all
living creatures, as I have done, as long as the earth remains, seedtime
and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and
night shall not cease (Genesis 8.20-22).
The first express covenant that has blood as a central tenet in its content, it is made
clear that blood is established as the very life force of a creature, whether man or
beast, and must not be consumed nor spilled senselessly.
But do not eat flesh with its life, its blood. But only your blood for your
lives I require, from the hand of every beast I require it, and from the
hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I require the life of
man. Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood is shed, for in the
image of Elohim has He made man (Genesis 9.4-6).
We see this covenant later during the second Temple times come play a crucial role
when dealing with the Gentiles, as the Jerusalem Council, headed by Ya'aqov ha
Tzaddik (James the Just), the brother of Mashiyach Yahoshua ben Yoseph, ruled that
in order for Gentiles to
abstain from the defilements of idols, and from whoring, and from what
is strangled (Acts 15.20).

14. [http://eyeseeme.com/wp-
content/uploads/2012/04/Abraham.Poster.Web_.jpg]
For it is through the Noachic covenant that everyone on earth will have an opportunity
to experience life in the world to come.
The Abrahamic Covenant
And it came to be when Abram was ninety-nine years old, that YHWH
appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am El Shaddai-walk before me
and be perfect. And I shall give My covenant between Me and you, and
shall greatly increase you.' And Abram fell on his face, and Elohim
spoke with him, saying, 'As for Me, look, My covenant is with you, and
you shall become a father of many nations. And no longer is your name
called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, because I shall make
you a father of many nations. And I shall make you exceedingly fruitful,
and make nations of you, and sovereigns shall come from you. And I
shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after in
their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be Elohim to you and
your seed after you. And I shall give to you and your seed after you the
land of your sojournings, all the land of Kena'an, as an everlasting
possession. And I shall be their Elohim.' And Elohim said to Abraham,
'as for you, guard My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout
their generations. This is My covenant which you guard between Me and
you, and your seed after you: every male child among you is to be
circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it
shall become a sign of the covenant between Me and you. And a son of
eight days is circumcised by you, every male child in your generations,
he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner
who is not your seed. He who is born in your house, and he who is

15. bought with your silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My covenant be
in your flesh, for an everlasting covenant (Genesis 17.1-13).
The initial agreement made with Abraham is found in Genesis 12 when YHWH calls
for Abraham to leave the land of his origins to a land which YHWH was to show him,
where he was to become a great nation, receive blessings and a great name. This
contract also states that YHWH will bless those who bless [Abraham], and curse him
who curses [Abraham]. And in [Abraham] all the clans of the earth shall be blessed
(Genesis 12.2-3). After enduring seven of his ten trials
[http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1324268/jewish/What-Were-Abrahams-10-
Tests.htm] , the full scope of the covenant that was initially made at Genesis 15 was
laid out in full detail and was brought to its fullness with the covenant of
circumcision [http://www.lightofmashiach.org/circumcision.html] . And according to Hillel
ben David on his website The Watchman [http://www.betemunah.org/avraham.html] ,
the Abrahamic Covenant
constitutes a legal contract between HaShem
[http://www.betemunah.org/hashem.html] and man where each takes on
obligations and burdens. This covenant
[http://www.betemunah.org/covenant.html] is a major cornerstone upon
which the Bnai Israel, the Children of Israel, stands...[as]...the subject of
the covenant [http://www.betemunah.org/covenant.html] was the grant of
the land of Israel [http://www.betemunah.org/city.html] to the children of
Avraham.
Given this all important development relating to the household of faith, the Abrahamic
Covenant can be seen as a redefining legal document given to Israel that serves as
the cornerstone which established their national reality in the course of prophetic
history. Based upon the responsibility of every male child born descended from
Abraham to be circumcised on the eighth day, as well as perfect adherence to the
Torah, the promises extended to Abraham's descendants by YHWH can be identified
as follows:

16. 1. The promise of offspring, and hence eternal life &
2. The everlasting promise of the land of Israel.
As the proverbial father of faith, the clear demonstration of Abraham's faithfulness to
the Word of YHWH caused him to be reckoned by YHWH as righteous. As one of
earliest exemplification's of the Way of the Walk
[http://jerusalemcouncil.org/articles/faqs/what-is-messianic-judaism/] , Abraham has
become the epitome of faithfulness as relates to the covenant, and is also considered
the progenitor of the three major world religions. However, it is clear, as written the
TaNaK, that Abraham was a Torah observant Hebrew who learned the traditions of
his forefathers through the teachings of Noah, Shem and Ever
[http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/112063/jewish/Abrahams-Early-Life.htm] .
But with the successive continuation of the generational evolution of consciousness,
Abraham had come to receive, at his time, one of the greatest revelations of the
reality of YHWH, due to his exposure to the sophisticated arts and sciences of the
Chaldeans. Through his rational judgment and discernment, Abraham was able to
pierce through the darkness of idolatry and perceive the reality of the Creator who
had found a worthy vessel to bestow one of, if not the greatest promises to humanity
of all time.
On account of this it is of belief-obedience, that it be according to favor,
for the promise to be made certain to all the seed, not only to those who
are of the Torah, but also to those who are of the belief of Abraham, who
is father of us all--as it has been written, 'I have made you a father of
many nations'--in the presence of Him whom he believed, even Elohim,
who gives life to the dead and calls that which does not exist as existing,
who against all expectation did believe, in expectation, so that he should
become father of many nations, according to what was said, 'so shall
your seed be" (Romans 4.16-18).
The Mosaic Covenant

17. [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-

ween%2Bthe%2BAbrahamic%2BCovenant%2Band%2Bthe%2BMosaic%2BCovenant..jpg]
Prior to the Mosaic Covenant, all covenants that YHWH made with humanity were on
an individual basis; now the covenant was to be established between YHWH and an
entire nation of people. Established at Mount Sinai in the Arabian Peninsula on the
Day of Shavuot, this covenant establishes the entire nation of Israel as a kingdom of
priests and a holy nation (Exodus 19.6) given that Israel would diligently obey [the]
voice [of YHWH], and shall guard [His] covenant, then [they] would be [YHWH's]
treasured possession above all the peoples (Exodus 19.5).
Considered as the actual wedding between Heaven and Earth, we witness the
exchange of vows, as Israel pledges to love YHWH by devoting their lives to Him
stating, "all that YHWH has spoken we shall do (Exodus 19.8), and the
consummation of the marriage sealed with the shedding of blood; and Moshe took
the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, 'see, the blood of the covenant
which YHWH has made with you concerning all these words (Exodus 24.8).

18. Established upon the conditions of the enumeration of the 613 commandments of
Torah, we find the codification of this covenant highlighted by the Ten
Commandments written on two tablets of stone. Interestingly, this covenant is the
only one made with the people of Israel that does not entail in promises from YHWH,
but prescribes specific injunctions upon the people Israel. These 613
commandments, which consist of 365 negative commandments and 268 positive
commandments, according to the Sephardic Jewish scholar Moses ben Maimon
[http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm] (aka the Rambam) can be categorized as such:
1. Commandments relating to Elohim
2. Commandments relating to Torah
3. Commandments relating to signs and symbols
4. Commandments relating to prayers and blessings
5. Commandments relating to love and brotherhood
6. Commandments relating to the poor and unfortunate
7. Commandments relating to the treatment of Gentiles
8. Commandments relating to marriage, divorce and family
9. Commandments relating to forbidden sexual relations
10. Commandments relating to times and seasons
11. Commandments relating to dietary laws
12. Commandments relating to business practices
13. Commandments relating to employees, servants and slaves
14. Commandments relating to vows, oaths and swearing
15. Commandments relating to the Sabbatical and Jubilee years
16. Commandments relating to the Court and Judicial procedure
17. Commandments relating to injuries and damages
18. Commandments relating to property and property rights
19. Commandments relating to criminal laws
20. Commandments relating to punishment and restitution

19. 21. Commandments relating to prophecy
22. Commandments relating to idolatry, idolaters and idolatrous practices
23. Commandments relating to agriculture and animal husbandry
24. Commandments relating to clothing
25. Commandments relating to the firstborn
26. Commandments relating to the Kohanim and Levites
27. Commandments relating to gift offerings, tithes and taxation
28. Commandments relating to the Temple, Sanctuary and sacred objects
29. Commandments relating to sacrifices and offerings
30. Commandments relating to ritual purity and impurity
31. Commandments relating to lepers and leprosy
32. Commandments relating to the King
33. Commandments relating to Nazarites
34. Commandments relating to wars
With these instructions, we have formal codification of the written Torah, as well as
the express constitution of the nation of Israel delivered given for the sole purpose of
unifying the order of the nation. In addition, it is through the revelation of this
covenant that the most clear definition of sin is given to Israel and humanity, in order
to delineate what is righteous from wicked, clean from unclean and what is set-apart
from profane. This distinction, though present in the previous ages, now became an
unquestionable standard of truth with the Mosaic Covenant, as, in fact, the entire oral
tradition of the Torah had now become a formalized code written down to be
transmitted to future generations. This is what Shaul or Tarsus writes on in his letter
to Rome when he states
And the command which was to result in life, this I found to result in
death. For sin, having taken the occasion through the command,
deceived me, and through it killed me. So that the Torah truly is set-
apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous, and good. Therefore,
has that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But the sin,
that sin might be manifest, was working death in me though what is

20. good, so that sin though the command might become an exceedingly
great Sinner. For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am fleshly,
sold under sin (Romans 7.10-14).
It is this spiritual reality of the Mosaic Covenant that has spawned so much
controversy and misunderstanding in the Western, Christian world as relates to the
central role of Torah, the feature of the Mosaic Covenant. Yet it is this very covenant
that provides Israel and humanity with the clearest expression of the Will of YHWH;
that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim (Romans 12.3). For it is only
through loving adherence of this covenant, again which demonstrates our most
devout love for our heavenly Father, that one will receive the sanctification of the soul
in order to receive the Holy Spirit and experience rebirth into the household of faith in
order to partake in the promise of eternal life in the Promised Land,
Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not
come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heaven
and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass
from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of
these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign
of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called
great in the reign of the heavens. For I say to you, that unless your
righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by
no means enter into the reign of the heavens (Matthew 5.17-20).
The Levitical Covenant
The most gruesome and bloody of all covenants was that of the Levitical Priesthood.
It is speculated that YHWH choose the tribe of Levi to serve as priests due to the dual
reality of Leah stating that the meaning of her third born's son name was to conjoin
(Genesis 29.34), and the bloody episode of Levi and Shimon slaughtering the entire
clan of Shechemites (Genesis 34.25-31), effectively nullifying Levi from receiving any
inheritance within the national tribal structure of Israel.

21. [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--
lyD4fFruec/VIJzshyxjeI/AAAAAAAAARg/Cyv7j6-Pj6w/s1600/heifer_on_mount.jpg]
The first mentioning of this special role that Israel was to play for YHWH can be found
in the book of Exodus:
And you shall bring Aharon and his sons to the door of the Tent of
Appointment and wash them water. And you shall put the set-apart
garments of Aharon, and anoint him and set him apart to serve as priest
to Me. And you shall bring his sons and put long shirts on them, and
shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, and they shall serve as
priests to Me. And their anointing shall be for them an everlasting
priesthood through their generations (Exodus 40.12-15).
It is this consecration of the tribe of Levi that served as the conjoining link between
YHWH and the nation, as they were the tribe who were officiate at the Tabernacle
and the Temple, as well as to provide atonement for the entire people until the perfect
offering was made by the Messiah. Yet, while the Temple was standing, and up unto

22. the death of Mashiyach, we find that the Levitical covenant served the most important
role of ensuring the sanctity of the nation.
And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, as being My
covenant with Levi, said YHWH of hosts. My covenant with him was life
and peace, and I gave them to him, to fear. And he feared Me, and
stood in awe of My name. The Torah of truth was in his mouth, and
unrighteousness was not found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace
and straightness, and turned many away from crookedness. For the lips
of the priest should guard knowledge, and they seek the Torah from his
mouth, for he is the messenger of YHWH of hosts (Malaki 2.4-6).
We see that this covenant, too, was sealed in blood as the Torah records that both
Aharon and his sons were sprinkled with blood in order to ordain the tribe of Levi into
the priesthood;
And he brought the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aharon and
his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, and it was slain. And
Moshe took some of the blood and put it on the tip of Aharon's right ear,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
And he brought near the sons of Aharon, and Moshe put some of the
blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right
hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moshe sprinkled the
blood on the altar all around (Levitics 8.22-24).
Tied intimately to the altar at the Jerusalem Temple, the Levitical Covenant only has
its standing as long as the Temple was erected. However, once the Temple was
razed by the Romans in 70 AD/CE, the Levitical Covenant and Priesthood was
suspended due to the need of offering sacrifices no longer being needed. However,
according the prophet Ezekiel, himself a Levite, there will come a time when the
priesthood and the Levitical Covenant will again be reinstituted:

Yet I shall make them those who guard the duty of the House, for all its
work, and for all that has to be done it it. But the priests, the Levites, the
sons of Tsadoq, who guarded the duty of My set-apart place when the
children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall draw near to Me to
serve Me, and shall stand before Me to bring to Me the fat and the
blood, declares the Master YHWH. They shall enter My set-apart place,
and they shall draw near to My table to serve Me, and they shall guard
My charge...And they are to teach My people the difference between the
set-apart and the profane, and make them know what is unclean and
clean. And they are to stand as judges in a dispute, and judge it
according to My right-rulings. And they are to guard My Torot and My
laws in all My appointed festivals, and set-apart My Sabbaths (Ezekiel
44.14-16, 23-24).
The Davidic Covenant

24. And now, say to My servant David, 'Thus said YHWH of hosts, I took
you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be ruler over My
people, over Israel. And I have been with you wherever you have gone,
and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a
great name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth. And I
shall appoint a place for My people Israel, and shall plant them, and they
shall dwell in a place of their own and no longer be afraid, neither shall
the children of wickedness oppress them again, as at the first, even from
the day I commanded rulers over My people Israel, and have caused
you to rest from all your enemies. And YHWH has declared to you that
He would make you a house. When your days are filled and you rest
with your fathers, I shall raise up your seed after you, who comes from
inward parts, and shall establish his reign. He does build a house for My
Name, and I shall establish the throne of his reign forever. I am to be his
Father, and he is My son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with
the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. But My loving-
commitment does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from
Shaul, whom I removed from before you. And your house and your reign
are to be steadfast forever before you--your throne is established forever
(2 Samuel 7.8-16).
The King of Israel is to be from the Tribe of Yahudah, the tribe from David hailed, as
we unmistakably read in the words written in the passage above. Having its origin in
the book of Genesis, the Tribe of Yahudah was destined to assume the mantle of
rulership due to the leadership qualities of tribes namesake following the unfortunate
series of events that led to his brother Yoseph being sold into slavery with the
Egyptians. From that point forward, Yahudah, the son of Israel, rises to each and
every occasion to serve his father and brothers with the courageous heart that only a
leader can. As a result of this, we find the prophetic words of Israel spoken to
Yahudah on his death bed,

25. You, Yahudah, your brothers praise you; your hand is on the neck of
your enemies; your father's children bow down before you. Yahudah is a
lion's cub; from the prey you have gone up, my son! He bowed down, he
crouched like a lion. and like a lion, who does rouse him? The scepter
shall not turn aside from Yahudah, nor an Inscriber from between
his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of the
peoples. Binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the
choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood
grapes. His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk
(Genesis 49.8-12).
Affirming the superiority of the throne of David over every other temporal kingdom on
earth, it is this covenant that asserts the ultimate reality of the sovereignty of YHWH
in and throughout creation. Accessing the lion tribe of Yahudah as the vehicle to
manifest this rule, it establishes the holy city of Jerusalem as the epicenter and
headquarters of this heavenly reality on earth. Knowns as the City of David, Tsiyon
has become synonymous with, not only the regal nature of the nation of Israel, but
also the soon coming Kingdom of the Messiah, who will establish His throne during
the Millennial age in this very city;
But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain. I
inscribe for a law: YHWH has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have
brought You forth. Ask of Me, and I make the nations Your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth Your possession.
Interestingly, this is the only covenant that is not instituted with blood. It is however,
given through prophecy by the mouth of the prophet Nathan, one of David's most
trusted and faithful servants in his kingdom. However, being that David was
considered a man of blood for his victorious campaigns that he waged against the
surrounding enemies, it can be argued that the blood that David shed during his life
on the field of battle sufficed. It was for this very reason that David was not allowed to
build the Jerusalem Temple, which was honor conferred upon his son Solomon who

went on to become the successor to the throne.
It must also be stated that the Mosaic covenant stipulated that there was to be no
Gentiles who were to rule among the children of Israel;
When you come to the land which YHWH your Elohim is giving you, and
shall possess it and shall dwell in it, and you shall say, 'let me set a
sovereign over me like all the nations that are around me,' you shall
certainly set a sovereign over you whom YHWH your Elohim shall
choose. Set a sovereign over you from among your brothers, you are
not allowed to set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
The Renewed/Messianic Covenant

27. Some two thousand fourteen years ago, a most special festival dinner took place in
an upper room in Jerusalem. There were thirteen souls present at this sedar for the
Passover meal, and the most gracious host had the daunting task of conveying to his
guests that this particular meal was to forever change the entire scope and meaning
of this historic night from that moment forward. Something truly miraculous was in the
making; a new understanding that was not readily perceived that night but would later
come to transform the very nature of eleven of those twelve guests who then go on to
change the world.
And as they were eating, Yahoshua took bread, having blessed, broke it,
gave it to them and said, 'take, eat, this is My body.' And taking the cup,
giving thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said
to them, 'this is My blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed
for many. Truly, I say to you, I shall certainly no more drink of the fruit of
the vine till that day when I drink it anew in the reign of Elohim (Mark
14.22-25).
Herein we see the fulfillment of all the six previous covenants coming to pass. For
with this single event on the night of Passover, every covenant that had been given
was summarily condensed into the restorative act that took place not long after this
meal when Mashiyach Yahoshua ben Yoseph was executed on the hill of Golgotha
and shed His blood to atone for the sins of the world, as well as usher in the promise
of the Renewed Covenant as foretold by the prophet Jeremiah;
See, the days are coming, declares YHWH, when I shall make a
renewed covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of
Yahudah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when
I strengthened their hand to bring them out of the land of Mitzrayim, My
covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, declares
YHWH. For this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares YHWH: I shall put My Torah in their inward

28. parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim and they
shall be My people (Jeremiah 31.31-34).
It is truly amazing to be able to receive the revelation of the renewed covenant
though the atoning works of Mashiyach Yahoshua in that those who have come to
acknowledge and accept the prophetic nature of the Word made flesh have also
taken on the self-same essence of the Master Rabbi from Nazareth. As the Promised
Seed of Abraham, and the Son spoken of in the Davidic covenant of promise,
Yahoshua has entered into the exclusive role of the Mediator of the renewed
covenant and has dispatched His Spirit to minister to us so that we who have been
reborn are able to see and enter the reign of Elohim, which is found within (Luke
17.21). This is the reality that was Adam was to experience and bring forth on earth
and why Shaul or Tarsus wrote these words,
And so it has been written, 'the first man Adam became a living being,'
the last Adam a life-giving Spirit. The spiritual, however, was not first, but
the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth,
earthy; the second Man is the Master from heaven. As is the earthy, so
also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those
who are heavenly. And as we have born the likeness of the earthy, we
shall also bear the likeness of the heavenly. And this I say, brothers, that
flesh and blood is unable to inherit the reign of Elohim, neither does
corruption inherit corruption.
It is here at this point that we are able to see the continuity and sheer magnificence of
the Covenants of YHWH. All of them, perfectly ordered and dispensed at the right
time, have allowed for the maturation of the nation of Israel, and the Gentiles who
have come to accept the terms, conditions and promises of YHWH, to unfold within
the seven days of creation
[http://www.sabbathcovenant.com/timelinebook/Chapter%204.htm] . With the purpose
of the covenants being to restore the original order of creation back to Earth through
the seed of Israel, we are able to ascertain that this process is a matter of repairing

29. the breech that has taken place between YHWH and Israel through the breaking of
the covenant by Israel. Here is where the works of Yahoshua become paramount in
serving to bridge that gap, and provide a propitiation for the failures and missteps of
the promised seed. We can look at this again, in terms of marriage experiencing a
rededication after a hapless deed of infidelity. And throughout Scripture, time and
time again, we read that the people Israel are repeatedly referred to as a woman.
Therefore, when we read the words of the prophet Hoshea, we can get a glimpse of
the love that YHWH has for Israel and what He is willing to set aside in order to
reclaim the bride of His youth and shower her with the promises that He has
extended through His ketubah:
Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the wilderness,
and shall speak to her heart, and give to her vineyards from there, and
the Valley of Akor as a door of expectation. And there she shall respond
as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the
land of Mitzrayim. And it shall be, in that day, declares YHWH, that you
call Me 'My Husband,' and no longer call Me 'My Ba'al.' And I shall
remove the names of the Ba'alim from her mouth, and they shall no
more be remembered by their name. And in that day I shall make a
covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the
heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and
sword and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down
in safety. And I shall take you as a bride unto Me forever, and take you
as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and loving-
commitment and compassion. And I shall take you as a bride unto Me in
trustworthiness, and you shall know YHWH. And it shall be in that day
that I answer, declares YHWH, that I answer the heavens, and they
answer the earth, and the earth answer the grain and the new wine and
the oil, and they answer Yizre'el. And I shall sow her for Myself in the
earth, and I shall have compassion onher who had not obtained

30. compassion. And I shall say to those who were not My people, 'You are
My people,' while they say, 'My Elohim' (Hoshea 2.14-23).
Selah...
