Covenant - Part 2 - David Emanuel

I'm so way back. Just a 1, Covenant. The kind of thing I'm going to look at another one, which is called the abrahamic Covenant. Preface in court. Now, if you going to see this, a lot of the most important in scripture? This is there's a myth somehow. People think that the further you get into Academia, the more answers you have and the most Stetson you become and it is a mess, it's a misnomer, the more you get into Academia, the more questions you get and the more you become less certain about things which is good for the extremely humbling, which is really good. You realize how much you don't know when you are you become less dogmatic about the number of things. I'm so I'm going to say the most important in scripture with a? Just oversleep all goes back to this Covenant beyond the sign. To explain God's plan for the Gentiles. This is a beginning in Genesis 15. Continued in Genesis 17 reasons as to why this Covenant is split across these chapters and the different parts we come in different ways and it repeats in different ways. I don't want to go into the question of the issues in the complexities of the Texas politics of this particular text. But we're going to find a gamekeeper. Keep you in mind of what goes into a covenant in each of these Covenants. So we've got here. I am God Almighty that for me to be able to die. I'm going to guess in this particular text, I may make my Covenant between me and you and my X. You greatly

God is extending the invitation of the Covenant and I said this usually word that implied. It at covenant has been made. Let us make it go to space. If you say, I want to make my Covenant with you to respond, very explicit terminology. I'm here about a covenant is being made, so you have to that should give you spiritual ears to see. Let me see how the company is being made. This coming again, is going to be more one-sided. God is inviting Abraham to this Covenant. He's kind of putting him into it. And saying most of the stipulations is not that so much of a two-way common and so is kind of one-sided in many ways. I'm the context of it's very important. I am the Lord who brought you out of air of the Chaldeans to give you this land to process. This is the act of Grace in the act of Mercy that God provides two conditions. I mentioned at the beginning of covenants Eve, an act of Mercy or Grace, or some kind of enmity with the new a covenant, we saw enmity between God. And man here, we see God then this is what I did for you. You made that Journey from from Earth and over here safely you begin if you must fight as well to this time so I'm going to ask for it. Good with giving it to him through his kindness. And that is what everything hinges upon. So this act of Mercy crucial in Covenant making more relevant when we get to the end and you see why I'm emphasizing them in this way. So he says it's a sacrifice. I said something has to die to bring me a three-year-old. Heifer and 30 female goats, and three-year-old ramp, and turtle doves and a young pigeon that he brought sold these to him and cut them into and ladies, half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birds and you can see hopefully in a tiny image that you can see that the animals cutting to okay and laid out on either side. The Cutting. Animals. In addition to the blood that the ceiling that the death of the ceiling by Blood. And in addition to the the meal that usually takes place it has another significance in that, it shows people usually the punishment. If you break the Covenant that's where it shows. You see this that anymore. This is what you were going to look like so that the animal is split into and usually usually what happens in this is what makes this text magnificent. You see what happens if you cut me and you split into two parts. Both parties walk between the animals bound to each other. So if you break it, that's going to happen to you if the other person breaks it, that's going to happen to you. So the punishment is binding on both people. Go to load walk through the two pots. Alone in the blazing fire. The torch he walks through the two parts. Abraham doesn't this? Covenant is binding on God Alone. That is magnificent. That is magnificent. Take him that idea. And go to say, the burden of this is on me Abraham. You don't know. You don't need to worry about it so much but the burden of this company stands on me so that the cutting symbols symbol of punishment upon himself. And this is the pts, whatever it was. This is what Abraham said, she's going through and this is a Fiat funny. It is an appearance of God to Abraham in this kind of weird deep kind of sleepy was in. So here we have a theophany ceiling the Covenant and I said that was all the time, but that was definitely a part of what's going on in this Covenant with Abraham.

We have stipulations. God has placed it upon himself to make Abraham fruitful to say, he's going to have many offspring. This is well you've got to look in context with the Garden of Eden and with no as well because what was the commands to Adam and Noah be fruitful and multiply, and this is something that God says he's going to do for Abraham in the future. He promises him. Also the land which was the land of Canaan at that time. And most importantly, most importantly, he says, the Lord will be that God. The god of Abraham's descendants. This is important because it points forward to the Exodus. The points forward to mount cyanide when the agreement is made between man. And God many Jewish exits. Exits exits study my advisor being one of them to be one of them. Cease this image of God parting going to between the other, the pillar of fire going between these and these entities as being a foreshadowing of the splitting of the Red Sea, and the Exodus of the children of Israel. Why is it a foreshadowing? Because yes, God, PA swimming. The pillar of fire. Yes. He splits the disease. Killing the Egyptians as well. And where is he brings them to Mount Sinai with the agreement takes place where he will be that God and they will be his people. We have the stipulations, we have a sign of this Covenant as well. The agreement was made something to eat that sign comes down to Abraham which is that of circumcision. It is the visible or tangible evidence that the Covenant was made and continues to be Made us. Welcome changeable. Reminder, are we also see another sign after this in that Abraham change his name? He goes from avraham to avraham, going to that. They took behind the name, but his name changes, why? Because he's in a new relationship with God and this is a sign office. So, the cabinets have something that that you can always look back on to 6 as a reminder that this thing actually happened and then Abraham has the stipulations for him. Obviously, a circumcision him all of his family and everyone in his household. And I bet you that's something he'll never forget. So, what we have is the abrahamic Covenant, that I know of summarized this various reasons but we do have an invitation to the covenants. It was made by God, we do have a sacrifice these animals into two places. We have a sign of the Covenant circumcision, we have stipulations. God has an agreement and has an agreement Abraham. We have a few outfits at the awfully, God Appears in this book and the PD that what? Whatever appears as well. Almost to seal the deal and the t, i m, m e, t some have speculated that I'm not altogether against this that the entity was created from the phone. Because what we seeing Abraham is, God, the beginning of God's Redemption of mankind. He's fixing it yet, he's fixing the bigger problem between him and Mankind, the musi obviously that works its way through time. In this particular coven though, we don't see a meal at no stage. You know, I don't know what that would have looked like, we're going to see that later but we don't actually see give me a but we have the other many of the other elements here in this cabinets Northeast and I'm going to be. I will be landing a lot of this in the last session. Later on, we come to another Covenant overlook

By most people but it does present a brilliant example of a covenant that between Jacob and Laban. Don't know if you know the story of Jacob fled from came from his family because it depending on how you redid, his brother was going to kill him and all he wanted to find a wife. So he goes up and stays in a run-in with label, he gets treated by Leigh Byrne. Tricked him into marrying Lair. Before he actually gets his wife and then Laban fleeces off the woods with the street with the sheep. And the ee be basically he's really sensitive. I'm so he sees what's going on his Floor season labor he comes home and they'd be quite as happy to see him and he's realizing something's going on I'm in danger and so K, is it? Okay, we're going to split and he takes his flocks. He takes his wife and he flees, he flees from Laban. I didn't say goodbye cuz he's scared and he knows what's going to happen. So he's pleased and in labor realize he's going to chases often. So we have this situation of conflict labeled actually was going to want to kill. Jacob was going to kill him and take his back. I understand the sentiment that told me, we have conflicts between these two people, these two almost tribes as they're growing up and so we read it. Clearly. He even said to Jacob, what have you done that? You have tricked. Me and driven away my daughters, like captives of the sword beautiful exaggeration. It wasn't quite like that, but we have a conflict between the two sides and very clean expressed here. Then we've got the invitation, very clear letter before Camp. Let's make a covenant. You and I and Let It Be A Witness between you and me, Covenant invitation. I've got make in capital letters here because it does not say make it to say which would be at the beautiful wood from make. It says not creat. Let us cut a covenant. This is how enmity is being solved. There are stipulations for both sides rules for both sides. Jacob, if you oppress my daughter's, if you take otherwise we'll do no one is with us. See, God is with this between you and me. This is a huge difference between the idea of contract. This is bringing in the device. Witness to what is going on? This keep is a witness and I will pass over this heat to you. You look passed over the heat on to me and do harm. So it's a boundary is that that's being set by. That label is not allowed to cross as Jacob goes back into the land of Canaan for both sides of the Covenant as well. Do what is witness between Hugh and me? So there's a Divine witness that you cannot get away from you. Go to think again, this is back in the day when they when everybody believed in some kind of a god of some sort. Unlike today I'm busy sign. This sheet a heap of stones like the one day and that's a a sign as Well, as a witness, something tangible that has to be in place that when it's seen, it will remind people of a covenant. Then there is the sacrifice a Jacob. Offer the sacrifice on the mounting something died. Something was was, was, was cut. And as a result of that, they can call the Brethren. They ate bread, the bread and stayed all night on the mountain. So meets was was, was killed cooked and they sat down together and they ate a meal 225. This Covenant. All of this is going to be coming up later on as well. It is important. The meal is important. We live in a society today with sitting down and eating a meal together. In a household is desperately unimportant. I would rather eat meals out of bits of plastic and cardboard box as we're driving home. Well, back in the day into eating meat with people was a really big deal. So you make a covenant with this real enemies facing each other and agreeing over a meal very, very powerful image. So that was the most that was this Covenant between I love this, because it contains just about all of the Essential Elements of Covenant in it between these two people. And as a result of this there is they live to live peaceably. They are not worried. One is going to kill the other. That one is going to do something bad. A label is taking care of his wife. Jacob is not going to take any more wives and he doesn't so he keeps that. So that's a a beautiful resolution that solves the energy to the power of Covenants. Even though I will say this, and I guarantee this is well after the Covenant was made, I promise you label did not have warm fuzzy feelings about Jacob I promise you. He didn't. He had just been fleeced, he's lost his daughters and he's going back to start again. He does not have one but fuzzy feeling which is kept and therefore they are able to live together. That's important to remember as well. We come now to the Mosaic Covenant.

Brilliant. Covenant between Man, and God.

Now.

The Mosaic Covenant. Is contained in the book of Exodus, okay? I know I'm going to stop hopping on about the book of Exodus. Some of your voice to hood view hop-on about this book. I will hop on about the book of Exodus and I will get more bubbles in the things that you say. And I said I was the most important book in the Bible Old and New Testaments. This, the book of Exodus take me to book of Exodus reference to it and you will find much of scripture will, will it would be difficult to stand. Even Jesus is controlled by his his little he he gets baptized has declared his godson and what does he do? If he goes to the Waters of baptism as well, just like the Israelites things would he do is let out into the desert, just like the Israelites that he's tested with bread. Just like the Israelites, this is not a coincidence. This is Jesus important. This was controlled by The Exodus. We even go to the book, The Dreadful Book of Revelation and how were the plagues described in the book that they described as Locust when I'm defeated. I need to plot. His name is Rich coming from coming from the book of Exodus. You cannot beat this book control The Narrative of so much. Very much controls. The idea of Covenant, the whole idea of Covenant that we need to Christians because it speaks to us about what the Covenant is all about. And so the book of Exodus contains one story which is the covenants between Israel and God one-story, it does not contain a narrative of Israel's Deliverance in chapters 1 through 20 and then a book of laws that's not what it contains which is that of the Covenant between God and Israel. Please, keep that in mind. I know. Christians love the narrative Jews. Love the Lord, but it was written at 1 to take it apart. The narrative is crucial. That Deliverance story is crucial because that's part of the Covenant. If you remember, when I spoke about the elements of the Covenant, I said that one of the conditions within the T, the other wolves, Deliverance, an act of mercy and active Grace. That is what the first 15, 20 chances of Exodus is about. It's about God, through messy to undeserved, love, saving this people who even before they get to Sinai, rebelling against him. So, which speaks of that foundation of the Covenant. God, God is basically advertising himself. Say, this is what I do. People people, I feed them in the desert. I save them from their enemies. I bring them both these, why do? And it's important to understand that in the context of the stipulations that come later on. So alphabet go to repeating himself. Then we get the actual covenants section which goes on from Exodus 20. This is what we record. A suzerain covenant with Rita and a list of party before the big city, delivering the village. This is the big God, delivering the small nation at the time. Due to one of me is different because it is not be in this. So making of the Covenant, it is a sermon on the coven's. I'll be talkin that a little bit later but it is not the initial carving of the Covenant, Exodus is where that happens. And if you take away the book of Exodus, by the way, to Troy doesn't have any legs to stand on a very little legs to stand on Exodus. Most important book and I will I'm ready to barbecue that one time until I'm tired. So it begins with this act of Deliverance. You see why did the Egypt's is advertising? How do I boil an eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Go say, hey, this is what I do now, you kind of know what you do. I Power, you know, I'm able to do okay, then it's a common invitation now before if indeed, you will obey my voice, keep my Covenant, that you will be my treasured possession among the people will be at is mine and you Selby or, but you shall be to me a kingdom of Priests of the holy nation, stipulations.

when you enter into Covenant with me, beautiful invitation that is made. He's not sing it on them. Please don't. Look at the book of Exodus of The Exodus story is God delivers his running and give him a bunch of things. I have to do what they have to do. It's a confident invitation as to what they needs to do with got a feel funny. Mount Sinai was wrapped in Smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. This is God, appearing to the Israelites to the bottom of the mountain. This seeing all of this stuff going on, it's not natural, it's an appearance of God because he wants to sign this or make this Covenant with them. There's an agreement. Then he took the book of the Covenant written in the hearing of the people and they said All that the Lord has spoken. We will do. We will obey Forest. They were introduced to God for the invitation invite him. To this Covenant. They said yes. And they joined in Israel, has a number of stipulations. They have a part. They have to play in order to keep this covenant not written here, no Ten Commandments, ten command, and they never called The Ten Commandments in the Bible that clueless are they call the 10 words, the 10 ideas to 10 principles, never The Ten Commandments and they are, they all principles they are latex founded in the rest of the law and we see them expounded in Deuteronomy as well. They are basic principles from which you live with a Timeless principles. By the way, I which like I say as time goes on these principles will adapt and they won't have it. Exacts working out in everyday. There will be alterations to them, and that's how you have to review the Note. 10 come onto written in stone when you think about this. Well, you think about the commands do not murder, you know, what does that even mean as a commandment? What does it mean? What does it mean not to murder? Does it mean? I don't take a knife and stab someone. If you hate them, is that murder what if I hire a hitman I haven't touched anybody, that's murder. We know that for me from the story of Ahab and Jezebel in the Box vineyard with Isobel. Had the book frames and killed, God spoke to a habit. He said, you have murdered I haven't touched anyone. But he was the main part in in having that person killed. So, it's the principle that you have to wait down in the expressed in different ways and societies go into that. But I will leave you with this is the 10 principles and I think it's better to think of them in that particular way. God has a responsibility as well. It's equal. It's going to be thank God. He's not going to choose another people for himself. He's going to prepare land for them. He's going to be an enemy to their enemies. Going to fight for them, he's going to bless that produce. He's going to prevent miscarriages big deal in the ancient near East for you. It's too late to to wait agreement that takes place. And then this is sacrifice and Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord Heroes early in the morning, Bilton Ulta at the foot of the mountain and set the young men of the people of Israel who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offering to God, there is a covenant, something dies. There was a sacrifice that has been made and we see it here. When you take a bigger, look at the book of Exodus. You see all of these covenants elements for you do I have to take a step back and what's going on? And then we have the most magnificent text in the book of Exodus. Listen to what this says. Ben, Moses, and Aaron the doves and I'll be home. 17th and Elvis.

They saw the god of Israel, and he didn't lay a hand on the chief man of the people of Israel, they beheld God, and they ain't and they drink. The meal. They sat down and had a real with God. That is amazing. I might come to my head over it came down.

The two sides come together, many people miss this passage, but it's crucial in the Covenant making process. And this also is a theophany. What did he look like? I am nervous, I don't know, but he was there and he ate and drank with them to steal. This continent is witness. The Divine is the witness is what is creation. Looking Exodus a symbol to me all the Elders of your tribe. You speak these words and it is and call Heaven and Earth to witness against. So the Covenant is made of before internal Witnesses heaven on Earth. The sky and the land. As long as they were round, they can testify that this Covenant was made. You look up. You be reminded of this Covenant, look down. You'll be reminded of this Covenant as well and there's a sign. Victor Moses, come up to me of the mountain and wait till that. I may give you the tablets of stone with the law and the Commandment, which I've written to the instruction. I doubt all of the logos on them. I assume two tablets were written and it wasn't five on five of these, the words on 15 on the other. That's not what it was. The please and Cecil B Demille here, but it wasn't quite like that. What you do in ancient days when you rather Covenant, is you write the Covenant in two copies, one for each party. That's why the two are written. Now it's almost 3 weeks. It's not need a reminder, I don't think so. So he still comes down with two copies and these are kept in the Ark of the Covenant, two copies of the same thing. God is not forget his part. If it was not for another party than both of them would have to Part two copies of the same thing. So they would remember what the stipulations actually are. So that explains the two stones, the two tablets of stone, they come down with Willie been ordered. I did I think the 10 principles would have been down, would have been written on it. There's always three of the obvious question, what language were they written in? But that's another, that's another thing within the different coasts of Deliverance with wonderful invitation of the covenants with sacrifices, made a meal with the two parties stipulations. The agreement to sign of the Covenant with your family. And this community is made between God and the people full-size say yes. I'm okay this is it goes at further than this and I say that this is the Holy Covenant because the Exodus demonstrates very clearly what happens when one side is Unfaithful with the golden calf it demonstrates that because it shows us as part of the Covenant one side is a faithful. God remains faithful. So that's a crucial part of Exodus as well and part of the coven profen. Another crucial part of the cow is a real people with Exodus and Covenant Arrangement. God becomes close to man says I'm exercising.

Worried and I will 12 then. That we need to keep that in mind. As part of the Covenant Pro said the New Testament, don't you know Christ in us the hope of glory, his eyes to swell with the people that he's made a covenant with as well. And that's revealed here in the book of Exodus. Exodus everything happens, I'm sorry. And I'm going to defend that. I'm good. Okay.

So we can look here at a few other Covenants. these are going to be the Lesser Covenant, so we can finish up the Old Testament and I wanted to

Important life goes on. Let me just take a quick step back here. We did the Mosaic we slide but that's okay. The other slide introduction to Some of the other left, a copy of that receipt. I do want to spend time with this too much time on this, we have here, the davidic Covenant, which is a covenant, that God makes with David, very specific covenants and enmity, so to speak. There's no real invitation doesn't say. Let me make a covenant. With you, that David needs to accept something that God benefits, that God gives to David so much of a sign. We do kind of don't have a theophany at least note to David ogogo. Can I speak to Nathan beforehand but we do have this kind of prologue important. The act of Mercy that God has shown the third party. I'm I took you from the pasture full of the seat, that you would be prints over my people. Israel, the benefits that God has provided. This is something that we see quite often. It's a one-sided. Stipulation record, establishes this. The Vedic Dynasty. I'm promised to Covenant really between the two to reset. Because this texting, I'm sick of time to 7. I would love to go into more detail with you on it, but another day, the Old Testament cover. I'm going to look at very briefly that mentioned you should all meet Joshua David and Jonathan and something called The Attic cabinets and I'm just doing that to cover all my bases. One of the things this thing is what I'm going to do now is is very important that you understand is that covenants need renewal specialist without a phone for a long time. They cannot die with Generations in. They cannot be forgotten. Ceremonies behavioural patterns, must be implemented so that the covenants renewed as they continue. That's what it's not. But it is a renewal and it takes place. 14 years off, the Spy night. He is a long time. And I think some of you can't remember what happened 40 years ago, because you're so young. But when you reach my age, I remember 40 years ago in the dim and distant past, I'm a really really long time ago. But so after 40 years, important, crucial, Covenant needs to kind of be ratified, people need to be reminded of it. Again in Futurama, take note taking the first person he says, I will do, is I do this, I do this. You do this to me, go speak to the first person in Deuteronomy. It's mostly say, Did this kid, is he did this very different. It's very, very different. This is why because you told me the first sermon, it's an exposition on the Lord, positioning movie called The covenants, code is written in the book of Exodus. So when you compare the two with all this snow could do that. Now you're going to see some similarities but you will see as well as the code. The Covenant code is slightly adapted for Israel before they enter the promised land. And so we will see extra additional laws or rules instructions. In Deuteronomy, you don't see an exodus but they still depend on the 10 principles. The focus of the Detroit McClure is that instead of Terry life when they set up societies, when they set up towns and cities, that's what the focus is. There is not a meal to ratify that particular, Covenant. It is a renewal. Covenant must be renewed, has to be refreshed in people's minds. So then we have Joshua with his later on another renewal of a covenant. After the conquest, again years many years would have passed since the renewal on Mount, Nebo, with Moses. Just like I said before acts of Salvation and deliverance, unmentioned, first of all, God did this for you foundation of the Covenant. The stipulations of the confidence of Base to be summarized. You can take a note of these texts so you can see the future self Israel. Agreed to the terms again punishment for Disobedience has mentioned. I haven't emphasized that enough. Generally in covens that will be if you disobey this is going to happen to you. That was what happens we have that in Exodus. Well, as well as rewards for obedience, they witness against themselves, the idea of witnessing once again and the words are written down. And again, things being written down as a reminder, for the future, which also serves as a witness, which works together with the stone Witch is setup the in a meal. Established. The coven is not being established. It is being renewed, it by Joshua, and it has to be in the DraStic change of circumstances.

I'm going to drink some water in case. Some of you will also send me trying to scribble down these references. So I'll give you an extra couple of moments.

Great. That was another Covenant. Again, don't go into any great detail that between David and Jonathan, bring this up to get the word, covenant does appear. That the two of them made of covenants before the Lord David I remain at Horace and Jonathan went home. So there was a covenant made between these two people, very vague connection to everything I've done. I've mentioned so far what continent is mentioned and there was a very strong agreement in which David was obviously bound to the way she treated Jonathan's descendants and he was as kind if you see David going out to me this way to be kind to join us until descendants as a result of this Covenant established, but we don't have the meal. We don't have a lot of the formal aspects of the Covenant mention. So I'm just I quickly go through that and then there's this, all a debatable dainik Covenant. Which hinges on how the world in Hosea 67. But like Adam, they the losing Kingdom transgress the Covenant there. They face to see with me this, if you are into a covenant theology, is the foundation of the first Covenant that was ever made between God and Adam and Eve. I'm only mentioning this for the sake of completion. A hundred percent sure I've not bought into this entirely as a covenant, but some recognized elements such as be fruitful and multiply and don't eat from that tree benefits of the Covenant eternal life. So long as you don't eat from that tree, punishment of death in the oldest known male missing and there's no formal invitation of a covenant as well. So I make it mentioning that Purely for the sake of completion. So now I'm going to I think I'm going to push about. Let me give me 5 minutes to begin with this new covenant. I think just to introduce you decide New Covenant again, Old Testament examples and still find one foot in the Old Testament. One in the new we have to talk about the idea of 8, New Covenant, the background to the New Covenant. The monarchy was imperfect. The davidic line was imperfect and keeping the old Covenant. They were supposed to lead the people. They didn't they transgressed and they brought the nation of Israel down to sneeze. And basically it leads to God, pulling the plug on his relationship with Israel in What's called the Exile about 580-6587 b, c. And the Babylonians came and brought the remainder of the Israelites, over to Babylon, not as slaves. But they brought them in to Babylon, so they could settle the live Big Things Remembered and they lost, they lost the covenants. All of the foundations of the old Covenant, with God. And so God knew this. And so even in the Old Testament, there are hints towards something better coming a New Covenant that's going to be established. Not but building on, remember I said covenants on eliminated they are modified as time goes on and here we've got some hints Ezekiel 34 25 of a New Covenant is history, the exiled his phone Babylon. Ezekiel wrote, I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate the hall to be single and trying in the that exact. That God was going to be writing a New Covenant. In that day, I will make a covenant with them with the beasts of the field of birds of the sky. Hosea, speaking way back in the, in the northern kingdom of a New Covenant, they were off the Way to Zion turning their faces. In this direction, they will come, that may join themselves to the Lord in an Everlasting Covenant, that will not be forgotten in the Old Testament. God is promising a new testament and it is explicit in this text Jeremiah 31:31, behold the days are coming declares the Lord. When I will cut,

A New Covenant with the house of Israel in the house of Judah. But this is a comment. I will make out my law within them and I will write it on their heart and it will be, I will be their God, they shall be my people, I will forgive their iniquity, the New Covenant spoken of in the old. And I want to make this point particularly clay. because I really want you to understand that even in

The days of just quickly, even in the to the Jewish people. They expected a New Covenant. The Jewish people back then. They expected a New Covenant waiting for a new covens and you deal with the house of Israel. I'm going to stop here on this particular Slide. The New Covenant, basically, for others. Believe it is what we see in the New Testament, and I'll be in the next session special features of this Covenant. The Lord, there is still going to be a little quiet away with that. It will still be required, but it's going to be written on our hearts. Please. Please, please, please. Please be careful here. It's going to be written on our live liver vote live heart. Not here here in a mind and I was thinking the wet hot today has the implication of emotion. It is not about emotion. It is about a faculty, our folks, our intentions, our controllable will That's where the Lord's going to come from from within us. 80. I'm going to give us Total Access to God. It is going to be between a community and got a community at Sinai was made with God and with the community because they are stipulations on the way with the community behave with each other. It's going to be based on the Forgiveness of sins. For, I will take away their iniquity. And most importantly, all of these elements that you wish people long for it. They knew it was coming and they long for it throughout the entire Testament. And at that point, I will pull us as we, we finished in Hope, like, the Jewish people and you have to wait the next 15 minutes to find out what happens after that. Music, the question.

John. John whose whose license plate is emblazoned with. Jeremiah 31:31. Abra body shop.

David a loaded question within within the context of the Year me out of the 31. And the fact that we know it is of course with the Judah and the house of Israel. The question for me is the prophetic context? Both sequentially timeline wise or is it more of a future bass situation? Are we looking when we say House of Israel more towards if Friday, evening, or we looking at coal use right out of the car. But yeah, I'm going to pull up, my say, call simply because at the time, this was written. When you see a frame by frame is a usually a synonym for the northern kingdom now. But when this was written is Jeremiah, there was no northern kingdom. There was only the remnants of the north men have been taken captive, the supposed to ten tribes many of them came down to the South and what they called you. It was a mixture of all Israel. That's why I say all. That's why I said it was a mix. It wasn't just to to Benjamin. That would have been the remnants. Come down, and they would have lived together and that was Jeremiah's, his contact social context.

I think, I think so, I relate to that. I think that that's what begins to go from saying that. I, I don't believe that Jeremiah had. This is my personal belief that any clue of how it will pan out in the future. So, yeah, I don't, but I don't think he imagined. I don't think he imagined this. That's my z, a very simple question, would probably complex answer. Can you add to the psychology of how God made the Covenant with Noah Abraham? And David like the actual process of how that happened, like, in comparison to your professors and colleagues in at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, sit, what, David conquered the city and Jerusalem in the car. That's it, you know, but how did he did he speak to the appear? How did that Covenant happen? Very simple. I don't know. Excellent answer a question like that. God, spoke to Abraham. How did he do it? I don't know. It could have been a range of different. It could be the range of different ways, and I'm even going to suggest that it may be ways that we might look at today, anything, but that was really barbaric, or it may be waiting practice. Abraham was not even though from our churches. And I say this in many places, I think if Abraham came to many of our church has, he been rejecting very quickly in the ways in which these thoughts and how we perceive the world. I think it'd be rejected incredibly quickly soak the way without heat. How God spoke to him and it processed, I don't know and it's obviously been hidden from us. Otherwise I would have said the great question. Question because these are the questions that scripture, I think the Liberty leaves out. So when we sit at the table and we can we can talk about this, we don't know if this is what this is, what we have to discuss that with with with anyone. If you like to talk to you about these things I highly recommend calm Torah study every Saturday at 9, right Genie. She's been part of that for about 30 years.

Well, that's true. Now I have a question between. Either a father or son, I'll give it to the father. So dr. Manuel I was Always. Intrigued by this Covenant with Pincus and I didn't see it in the minor Covenant. It seems like it would go in the category of like a mercy one. Right? Because there's no enmity. Well, you did a saying that was violent but he got this Covenant of peace, right? For him. And his descendants forever that God made it with him. He doesn't seem like he has stipulations attached to it from his part. So there aren't any the word is there. He gives it to him. I just always used over it because it, I don't see how it progresses Through The Years. I'll let you answer.

You mentioned a week, so it's going to be numbers because numbers I would lick that obviously, because it is recounted in the Book of Psalms 106. And it says that beautiful. It says, it says that pink did his act and it says it was accredited to him as righteousness.

That Covenant, I think it's connected to the abrahamic Covenant. That's that's bad as I see that. So I kind of see that as almost like a splinter Covenant that we have to interpret in light of the abrahamic Covenant. And that's the only way I can read it because the wording is very clear, it was a credit to him as righteousness because twice in scripture think that it occurs in very soon to contacts as well. So we don't see all of those elements in that particular, Covenant. But me, I personally map it to what happened with Abraham and maybe extrapolate from that, some of those been abrahamic benefits on Pinkett's. But it's very peculiar if it is very peculiar. Yes, I dropped out of it.

242.

I want to say thank you so much for coming out today. And for sharing, all of us Insight is such an honor to be able to ask someone who has spent so much time like immersed in this and it's so I would like to know I have always been intrigued with the way that around every Covenant. There's also an element of testing of the human involved like Noah's Covenant didn't happen until after he built that he was told to build the ark, he built the ark and then he received the Covenant Abraham's actually comes right. After the amida, an angel is sent with word from the Lord. Like that was a test. And in Moses, his Covenant comes with the second time on the mountain and God's, like Moses. I'm giving up on these folks and I'm going to make a new people out of you and Moses is like no Lord, don't do that. Like keep your Covenant with these people. Moses was tested right there and in not like with pink has to like there was a testing, their pink ice didn't have to do what he did to have. You also noticed, like can you talk to this element of testing and is that also in the Brit, you know, with us written on our hearts? Is there a testing that comes with this Covenant? I can see the influence of the testing the strength of where I'm going with this. I suppose is the clarity of the foundation of the ancient near Eastern Covenant. in which that element of testing is difficult to tease out with certainty in every case, So we won't you were suggesting I lost it was wrong by any stretch of the imagination. I'm Prime. What I'm suggesting is where I to be if I wrote this down from writing a paper and I had to defend it, I would fight it would be a little bit more difficult for me to establish, clear, testing in every case mentioned I'm out. I would put in a footnote I suppose because it is worth his worth mentioning. But I don't

I don't know how strong it is as if I can see what you're saying. I just don't want to say it but I don't have strong. It is and elements in in the other in the other place, yet, please. Why? I chose these individuals as opposed to other individuals who might have been walking around at the time? Know they always say no because that eliminates the Gracie becomes a conditional thing. God extends with Abraham Hicks extended who who's Abraham something hanging out in the expenses to him on this Earth who were the Israelites Desmond undeserved. And that's a big that's very important part of the company making process. So I think once you get into the text, it becomes it becomes a fee. And no, I didn't deserve it at all.
