Post 10
Perhaps, it is time to list the covenants and categorize them as either conditional or unconditional.
Looking forward to the response.
God made 3 Covenants with Abraham
#1 to make of them a great nation Gen. 15, fulfilled in the founding of Israel by Moses Ex. 24;2
# 2 to make of them a great kingdom Gen. 17, initially fulfilled in David and his royal descendants
Samuel 16
#3 to make of them a universal blessing Gen. 22 fulfilled in Jesus Christ Luke 1:26-33; Matt. 28:18-20
The 3rd Covenant was made at the Last Supper and was complete at Pentecost in which the Kingdom of God began.
What is this 3rd covenant? John 6:53-58
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. 58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
I can place myself at the time of Christ and see it was a ‘hard saying’ but then I see how many Christians in this day and age find it a ‘hard saying’.
Exodus 12:23 For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you.
About that Rapture thing...
Buy a book on it or hire a clerk. I don't have time.
