Who were the covenants made with? They were between ____ & _____. Fill in the blanks. ERGO, the only way a Gentile could be saved was what? To be a part of the covenant promises. And how would he be part of the covenant promises? He either had to go through Israel and become a proselyte, bless Israel, or become God. We KNOW #3 is out (don’t we??). That leaves one or two. Or BOTH. C’mon, editor. Put on yer thinkin’ cap here.

Start with who was to obey the covenant.

Both individuals and the nation were to hold it.

Yehova works differently with individuals than he does with nations. Abraham was a good example of that principle, as was Noah.

At Sinai, he was going to do it again with Moses, when the people made the golden calf, but Moses refused.

The judgement of all individuals awaits the last trump, but nations are judged constantly.

For the alien, the covenant was between him and Yehova.
