Part 6: The Covenants of Promise

RLJ-2041 -- NOVEMBER 16, 2025

THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
Part 6: The Covenants of Promise

Jesus established a national covenant with Israel at Mount Sinai after the exodus from Egypt. Acting as mediator, Moses recorded the commandments, built an altar with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes, and sealed the covenant with sacrificial blood sprinkled on the people. The Israelites pledged obedience and God accepted them as His covenant nation. The First Covenant included two major components: atonement and the Promised Land. The atonement aspect pointed forward to the coming Redeemer. The land component was conditional upon Israel's obedience. Even the disciples misunderstood this fact when they asked Jesus if He would restore the kingdom to Israel. The First Covenant relied on priests entering an earthly tabernacle year after year with the blood of animals and the faithfulness of the people. This is why the First Covenant was temporary and incomplete because it depended upon fallible human beings.
