Covenant history of mankind
Posted by admin on Jun 24th, 2009
The covenants have five common characteristics;
-the mediator
-the promises
-the curses
-the memorial
-the form the people of God take on as a result of the covenant
Each one follows this pattern and in it we can see God’s plan for mankind develop as we track the form;
Adam & Eve – the marriage bond, husband and wife
Noah – the extended family bond
Abraham – the form is of a tribe
Moses – the form is the holy nation of priests
David – a national kingdom
Jesus – the worldwide kingdom, Jesus’ Church
This then is the real history of mankind, despite all of the history that we think that we create and is so important. And it is the summary and thread of the entire Bible.
