LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 64
THE NEW COVENANT
All right, now we’re going to get right back in where we left off in our last several programs. That is on the covenants that God has made starting with the Garden of Eden and on up through the ‘fall’ when He made another covenant with Adam. We started back here in Genesis with the covenant that God made in the Garden of Eden and the circumstances and what Adam and Eve were to do, and that’s called "The Edenic Covenant." The Adamic Covenant still holds. The Noahic Covenant still holds. The rest of the world is still under the Adamic and the Noahic covenants. But what we want to emphasize is that all these following covenants were based on the covenant that God made with Abraham, and consequently they are applicable primarily to the Nation of Israel. Israel, of course, is still the core of all of God’s dealing with the human race.
The covenant that God made with David, the King of Israel, who brings Israel, you might say, out of the doldrums of antiquity and brings them to the glory of the Kingdom and followed by his son, Solomon.
The promises about the King and the Nation of Israel are under this "Davidic Covenant," and the reason being that Christ comes from the lineage of David. He’s constantly referred to in Scripture as the ‘Son of David.’ Oh, He’s also the Son of Abraham because David follows Abraham, but we have primarily throughout Scripture the reference to Jesus Christ, the Son of David. Psalms 89:20
Well, God is. This is God speaking through the writer of this Psalm. He has found David, the King, his servant, and God is the one that anointed him as the King of Israel. All right, verse 21:
Psalms 89:21
Psalms 89:22-23
For sake of time, let’s jump up to verse 25.
Psalms 89:25
Now remember, in my last program I said that we’ve got to be careful, could David do that? Now we’re leaping the centuries, the millennia in fact, to the Son of David, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah of Israel. Now verse 27, and this couldn’t be David, so it has to be the Son of David.
Psalms 89:27
The Son of David, the Son of God, the Christ. Now verse 28, now it is back to King David himself.
Psalms 89:28-29
"My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant (this Davidic Covenant) shall stand fast with him. (Now, here comes the offspring of David) 29. Psalms 89:31-32
All right, verse 33 - but in spite of Israel’s failure, in spite of the nation’s unbelief, will God give up on Israel? Never! Never! Never will God pull away from His covenant people. All right, so He says:
34. (Now, this is God speaking again.) My covenant will I not break,…" Now verse 35:
Psalms 89:35-37
"Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. (God cannot lie. Now, that’s just God reaffirming these promises made through what we call the Davidic Covenant.
Come over with me for a moment to Isaiah chapter 9, where, again, we have David connected to the King who’ll be ruling during the millennium, that is God the Son, Jesus of Nazareth. Israel. This Son that was born in Israel.) Now, here comes the part that connects us with King David.
All right, now let’s jump all the way up, if I may, to Matthew chapter 1. David, the son of Abraham." But He’s also the Son of God. All right, he gets his voice back, and now let’s come down to verse 67.
Luke 1:67
"And his father (That is John the Baptist’s father.) Luke 1:68
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; (We’re not talking about the whole human race here. We’re talking about the covenant people, Israel.) for he hath visited and redeemed his people," Israel! Luke 1:69
"And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us (not for the whole world) in the house of his servant David;" Well, why is this all limited to David and Abraham? Because it’s the Covenant Promises! Only the Covenant People were in a relationship with Jesus in His earthly ministry, with the two exceptions. Up until that time, it’s fulfillment of the Covenants to the nation of Israel.
Romans 15:8
It was in God’s eternal blueprint. And Jesus Christ, what was the purpose?) In the Covenants!
All these Covenants, after we get past the Abrahamic Covenant, they’re all God dealing with Israel on promises and prophecy. All right, then I’m going to come down to verse 29.
Acts 2:29
according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his (David’s) throne;"
Acts 2:31
"This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses. 34. For David…" (The King David of a thousand years ago.) Jesus the Christ. God the Father said, back in Psalms 110 verse 1) Come sit at my right hand until I make thy foes thy footstool."
all the house of Israel…." All the tribes are under God’s dealing for end-time scenario.
