Everlasting
Covenant:
Isaiah
42:6 “I, the Lord, have called You
in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a
covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles,
Romans
8:32 He who did not spare
His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also
freely give us all things?
Revelation
13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been
written in the Book of Life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
The
everlasting covenant or covenant of grace is that mutual agreement into which
the Father entered with His Son before the foundation of the world respecting
salvation, Christ being appointed the mediator. He willingly consented to be
their head and representative. This is what happened when there was no time, on the corner of nowhere
where there was nothing, there was a Meeting. And the Father was there, and the
Son was there, and the Holy Spirit was there, taking the minutes. The minutes
of that Meeting became the Volume of the Book. There neither has since been nor
ever shall be such a Meeting, because there is no need for one. Everything that
will ever happen in a time-space world happened in that Meeting. The works of
God were finished in that Meeting. The Lamb was slain in that Meeting. And you
and I were there in the Father’s Heart.
Covenant with
Mankind:
Gen.
1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;
fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the
birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Adamic Covenant
:
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Noahic
Covenant
Genesis
6:18
18 “But I will
establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons,
your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
Gen. 9:9 “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you
and with your descendants after you,
Abrahamic Covenant:
Genesis 17:7
“And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after
you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and
your descendants after you.
Wilderness Covenant:
Exodus
24:8
8 And Moses took
the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of
the covenant which the Lord has
made with you according to all these words.”
Leviticus
26:
Deut. 28
Davidic Covenant:
2
Chronicles 7:15-16
15 “Now My eyes
will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.16 “For
now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever;
and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
Psalm
89:3-4 3 “I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David: 4 ‘Your seed
I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations.’ ” Selah
This is the
Davidic Covenant. It is a covenant God establishes with David that the Messiah
would come from his lineage.
Covenant with Spiritual Israel :
Hebrews
8:7-13For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have
been sought for a second. 8Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold,
the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 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 did not continue in My covenant,
and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10“For this is the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write
them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11“None
of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the
Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 13In that He says, “A new covenant,” He
has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is
ready to vanish away.
2 Corinthians
3:2-6
2 You are our
epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an
epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of
the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of
the heart. 4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God.5 Not that we are
sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our
sufficiency is from God,6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new
covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.
Jeremiah
32:40-41
40 ‘And I will
make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing
them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart
from Me.41 ‘Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly
plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
