FIRST COVENANT

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

God made a Covenant with Israel at Horeb  - the Covenant that He didn’t made with his fathers : "The Lord our God has set us a testament to Horeb; not with our fathers put Lord Covenant, but with us here today, alive" (Deut 5.2-3).

The conditions were as follows :

- Israel must be listen the voice of God: to obey the Law, that said by His voice (Ex 19.5, Deut 4.12-13, Ex 20.1-17).

- He had to maintain a Covenant - Covenant of peace, which is the sin of the human century (Ex 19.5, Rom 11.27).

God has promised that Israel will be a Kingdom of priests and a Holy nation (Ex 19.6).  Israel promised to respect it  (Ex 19.7-8).

 

After God gave the Ten commandments and statutes, that bequeathed in  Exodus 20.18-26  and chapters  21-22-23, they were given to Moses, who said them out loud, and Israel again promised to perform them  (Ex 24.3).

 

All but the Ten Commandments (in stone), was recorded in a book and is read through to Israel, and when the latter agreed to all this, the Covenant was signed and affixed with blood (Ex 24.4-8, Heb 9.18-20).

Most of Israel entered into this Covenant as non-turned, because of this he has become a burden and yoke, and they soon had violated it, have given way to idolatry  (Gal 4.24, Jer 31.31-34, Ex 32.1-8).

Therefore God promised a New Testament (Covenant) with Israel (Jer 31.31-34).
