GOD'S COVENANTS WITH ISRAEL

TABLE OF CONTENTS

I) ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

A) IN THE PROMISED LAND, THE LORD WILL MAKE ABRAM A GREAT NATION (LONGEVITY AND MANY DESCENDANTS), MAKE ABRAM’S NAME GREAT THROUGHOUT THE EARTH FOR ALL HISTORY, AND IN ABRAM WILL ALL MANKIND THROUGHOUT HISTORY BE BLESSED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ETERNAL LIFE VIA A MESSIAH SAVIOR DESCENDANT

B) GENESIS CHAPTER 3 DECLARES GOD'S PLAN FOR THE ETERNAL RECONCILIATION OF MAN TO GOD AND THE RESTORATION OF MANKIND'S SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE EARTH THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL DESCENDANT OF EVE WHICH CHAPTER 12 IMPLIES WILL BE FULFILLED THROUGH THE LORD'S MAKING ABRAM A GREAT NATION AND A GREAT NAME AND IN ABRAM THROUGH HIS SEED WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ETERNAL LIFE AND BLESSING FOR ALL MANKIND THROUGHOUT THE AGES

1) [GEN 3:14 NKJV]:

a) FOR DECEIVING EVE AND CAUSING HER AND ADAM TO SIN, THE LORD GOD CURSED THE SERPENT WHO WAS POSSESSED BY SATAN, GOD'S ADVERSARY, MORE THAN ANY OTHER CREATURE, RELEGATING SERPENTS NOW TO CRAWL ON THEIR BELLIES, EATING DUST AS A SIGN OF JUDGMENT UPON SATAN'S REBELLION

2) [GEN 3:15]:

a) TWO SPIRITUAL (NOT BIOLOGICAL) SEEDS ARE IN VIEW:

i) THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO FOLLOW SATAN IN SPIRITUAL REBELLION ARE DECLARED SEED OF SATAN - ANGELS AND HUMANS ALIKE. THEY ARE FURTHER DECLARED BY GOD TO BE AT ENMITY WITH THE WOMAN, EVE, AND HER SEED:

ii) A SEED, WHICH BIOLOGICALLY COMES FROM THE MALE, IN ORDER TO BE THE SEED OF THE WOMAN, HAD TO BE PRODUCED INTO A FEMALE PHYSICAL DESCENDANT OF THE WOMAN SUPERNATURALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BY GOD TO RESULT IN AN INDIVIDUAL MALE DESCENDANT TO REPRESENT THE HUMAN RACE - A MESSIAH-SAVIOR - IN THE BATTLE WITH SATAN AND HIS SEED TO PROVIDE ETERNAL RECONCILIATION FOR HUMANITY WITH GOD AND REGAIN SOVEREIGNTY OF THE HUMAN RACE OVER THE WORLD

b) THE SEED OF THE WOMAN PORTRAYS AN INDIVIDUAL OF SUPERNATURAL BIRTH VIA A SPIRITUALLY PROVIDED SEED WHO WILL REPRESENT ALL OF HUMANITY IN BATTLE WITH SATAN AND HIS SEED TO REGAIN THE LOST SOVEREIGNTY OF THE HUMAN RACE OVER THE WORLD AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEING TO BE ETERNALLY RECONCILED WITH GOD RELATIVE TO SIN. THIS MESSIAH-SAVIOR WILL BRUISE SATAN'S HEAD = DELIVER A MORTAL BLOW TO DESTROY HIM, AND SATAN WILL BRUISE HIS HEEL - A NON-MORTAL BLOW

C) IN THE TIME FRAME OF GENESIS 15:4-6, ABRAM BEGAN BELIEVING IN GOD'S PROMISE OF INNUMERABLE DESCENDANTS THROUGH HIS SEED SUPERNATURALLY PROVIDED BY GOD AND RELATIVE TO THE LORD'S PROMISE OF INHERITING THE LAND AT WHICH TIME GOD ACCOUNTED IT TO ABRAM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE

D) THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT WAS CONFIRMED WITH ISAAC BECAUSE ABRAHAM WALKED BEFORE THE LORD AND THEREBY WAS DECLARED BLAMELESS, I.E., VIEWED AS OBEYING THE LORD'S VOICE AND KEEPING HIS CHARGE, COMMANDS, STATUTES AND LAWS
