[Shincheonji God's Word] Two Covenants



Main reference : Heb 8, 9

God said to the Hebrews (Israelite people) who came out of Egypt, through Moses, “If you keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Ex 19:5-6). But they neither trusted in God, nor obeyed him by the Jordan River. (Ex 32, Dt 9:11-24, Heb 3)
So God said in Jeremiah 31, he would make a new covenant because they broke the first covenant (Jer 31:31-32, Heb 8:7-13), and made the new covenant in the blood of Jesus after about 600 years. (refer to Mt.26:26-29, Lk 22:14-20, Heb 9:13-15)  This new covenant is the New Testament, which main point is the promise of Revelation. Those who keep this covenant will be forgiven for their sins and become a kingdom of God and priests, and a holy nation, that is, the people of Heaven (Rv 1:5-6, Heb 9:24-28).

They were the covenant through Moses, and the New Covenant through Jesus. Today, those who keep the New Covenant will be blessed as promised. What we should trust and obey are the word of promise (prophecy) and its fulfillment in the New Testament.

The affairs in the past (at the time of Moses) are the examples then, and what appear in the mirror are their faces (appearances). Today, we look in the mirror glass, which is far more transparent like pure gold. (Rv 21:21) As this mirror is the everlasting word like gold, everyone will be judged according to his deed as recorded in the Bible. (Rv 20:12)

[shincheonji God's Word] QT- Hebrews 8:8-10


 

Hebrews 8:8-10
 
But God found fault with the people and said:
 
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
 when I will make a new covenant
 with the people of Israel
 and with the people of Judah.
 It will not be like the covenant
 I made with their ancestors
 when I took them by the hand
 to lead them out of Egypt,
 because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
 and I turned away from them,
 declares the Lord.
 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
 after that time, declares the Lord.
 I will put my laws in their minds
 and write them on their hearts.
 I will be their God,
 and they will be my people.”
