Interesting question if I might say so. We have thus far seen that the Covenants of God are "eternal" and that even the word Jeremiah used for "new" meant repaired, renewed, restores, rebuilt and not "replaced". Over and over again we have witness to the fact that the Words of God are eternal and must agree with Yeshua when he said:
Matt 5:18
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (KJV)
Let us say again that it is this "Law" which is composed of Covenant stipulations from both the Covenant of Noah and the Covenant of Moses which are themselves comprised of individual laws and Commandments for both non-Jew and Jew. This is a fact I have demonstrated to you beyond any doubt so we must deal with it even if it opposes our current Christian belief system.
Now let us look at a recurrent truths throughout the Bible that attests to the fact that God's Word and His Covenants are eternal. Here are some verse which show that the covenant of God will never end no matter who interprets the New Testament in English thereby misunderstanding the Greek under the English or regardless of Catholic Church Councils and their perverted doctrines which have been handed down to us today as "Protestant" doctrines. I challenge you to read the following verses and then answer them with "no that is not true!"
(Ecc 13:14)"Whatever God decrees shall be forever; nothing shall be added to it nothing shall be taken away."
(Is 40:18)" The word of the L-rd shall stand firm forever"
(Num 19:21) "and it shall be law for all time"
(Num 15:14)". . .There shall be one law for you and for the Ger (Convert), it shall be a law for all time throughout the ages."
(Num 15:21) "You shall make a gift to the L-rd from the first yield of your baking, throughout the ages"
(Ex 31:16) "The Israelites people shall keep the Shabbat, observing the Shabbat throughout the ages as a covenant fro all time."
(Dt 4:2) "Every word which the I command you. You shall observe and do Thou shalt not add unto it nor diminish it"
(Ps 119)…"The whole psalm"
(Dt 4:40) "Observe His laws and commandments, which I enjoin upon you this day, that it may go well with you and your children after you and you may live in the land that the L-rd your God is assigning to you for all time."
(Num 15:23) "All that the L-rd commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that the L-rd gave commandments and onward throughout your generations."
(Ex 12:17) "And you shall observe the (commandment of) Unleavened bread . . .you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an ordinance forever."
(Is 49:14) " But Zion says, The L-rd has forsaken me, and my L-rd has forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, even they may forget, but I will not forget you".
(Mal 3:6) "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
Answer for yourself: Were you able to answer "no that is not true" to any of the above passages?
Answer for yourself: Did you notice what all the above passages had in common? Well if you did not let me tell you that each one stressed the "eternalness" of God's Word which changes not. When God makes a Covenant He makes a Covenant forever. This is seen in Acts 15 when the followers of Yeshua made reference to the Laws of Noah for the non-Jews where were becoming to faith in God through the ministry of Paul who was preaching "Christ crucified". Twenty-five years after the death of Yeshua his followers were still appealing to the Laws of Noah for non-Jewish believers. Evidently the Pastor of Yeshua's church and his other followers they did not believe Yeshua's death or resurrection changed anything let alone the Covenants of God. These believers in Acts 21:21 were yet zealous for the Law and the Covenant stipulations long after Yeshua's death. Notice they did not have a belief in Pauline theology that they were no longer under the law but under grace. Let us face it; these first Jewish follower of Yeshua knew him and his teaching much better than Paul who never met him and only referred to just 2 of Yeshua's teachings in all of his epistles.
Answer for yourself: Now, in light of these passages don't you think, as a "New" Testament Christian you better begin a diligent study of your Covenant or lack of one and finally be able to know the truth from error…especially before you die and meet your Covenant maker?
More to come….Shalom.
