“Days Are Coming: New Covenant”

Blessings folk!

Can you believe the amount of information the Lord has given us related to Melchizedek-Abram-priests?

There is more.

We pick up Hebrews 8…

Heb 8:6-9

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

For finding fault with them, He says,
“BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD,
WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS
ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND
TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT;
FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT,
AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.


Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry.
How?
He is the mediator of a better covenant.
This better covenant has been enacted on better promises.

What promises?

We will look at them…starting today.

Note how some of the above passage is “all-caps”.
This tells us that it is a quote from the Old Testament - the Old Covenant.
This passage is from Jeremiah 31.

The Lord had told His people that a day is coming where there will be a new covenant.

What do we learn of the new covenant?

  • with the house of Israel and House Judah
  • not like the covenant which God made with their father
    • fathers that He led from the land of Egypt
    • they did not continue in the covenant
    • therefore God did not care for them.

The previous covenant is the old covenant.

The writer of Hebrews is giving a hint, at this point, of the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31 by quoting it here…to be continued…

Live the life of the New Covenant!
