Christians are God's chosen people. The new covenant is with the church and the old covenant with Israel is gone.
...
In my next few posts I will show how the promises to Israel now belong to the church
I
nteresting yo dont mention what the covenant IS with the church
your post is good, but you ned to know what the covenant is.
The ark of the covenant is now with all those who accept Jesus as Messiah...
the NEW COVENANT IS THIS...
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
so some may argue what this means, but PAUL TELLS US WHAT IT MEANS...
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb 8:9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my covenant THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Heb 9:1
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
THE LAW OF SACRIFICES AND BURNT OFFERINGS IS FINISHED
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
NEW COVENANT
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:18 Now where DELIVERANCE FROM SINNING is, there is no more offering SACRIFICES for sin.
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest
by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Heb 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith
without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another
to provoke unto love and to good works:
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully
(STOP SINNING BY THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS)
after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
The new covenant is keeping all the commandments perfectly by the power of the Blood of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary,
the old covenant Paul says was the sanctuary sacrifices this is over
the new covenant is the power of the Blood of Jesus to keep us from breaking the commandments
covenant is DEAL
We keep his ten covenants by the power of JEsus blood and he is our God
that is the new covenant with his church
people who will keep his ten commandments by FAITH in the blood of Jesus power to write the ten commandments in or hearts
so now we understand revelation:
not by law of sacrifices
"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
