The New Covenant

Ask any Judeo-Christian the following: what is the New Covenant, and to whom was it given? You will see a confused look, and - if you get an answer at all - you will likely receive an answer something like: "The New Covenant is the forgiveness of our sins through Grace, and it was given to all believing Christians who have accepted Christ."

Like their inability to define the Kingdom, Judeo-Christianity is (amazingly) oblivious to what the New Covenant actually is, and to whom it applies. They believe they are in the New Covenant, but are ill-equipped to define it, or prove that it is actually in place now.

 What is the New Covenant?

The New Covenant is the writing of the Law on the hearts and minds of the Covenant people, Israel.

The writer of Hebrews quoted the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 31:33) and applied the New Covenant promise to the people to whom he was writing:

For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people (Hebrews 8:10 )

Jeremiah specified to whom the New Covenant promises were given:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD... (Jeremiah 31:32)

Only Israel were led by Yahweh out of Egypt. Only Israel broke the the Covenant with their husband, Yahweh, and only Israel were under the Law. Therefore, the promise of the writing of the Law on the hearts and minds was specific to one people: the Covenant People.

When did the New Covenant Arrive?

We are living in the New Covenant now.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:18 )

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (Matt 24:34)

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (Matt 16:28 )

Very simply: either these things have happened, or our Savior failed to do what He came to do.

Where do We Find Promise of the New Covenant Fulfilled Today?

Israelites today will be characterized by the writing of His Laws on their hearts and minds:

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel , my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last. (Isaiah 48:12)

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel ; I [am] the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldest go. (Isaiah 48:17)

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. (Eze 11:19-20)
