The thought here, Izzy, seems to be that there are only two covenants.. the "Old" and the "New." I think this is wrong. When God makes a covenant, it's a permanent thing. There are no "ifs." People speak of an Adamic covenant. Is that one gone now that we have the Noachide covenant? Is the Noachide covenant dead now that God made a covenant with Avraham? Is Avraham's covenant dead now that He gave a covenant to Moshe/Moses? Get my point?   Please look up the words used for "new" in reference to "new covenant" in Jeremiah 31. Please know that it is the word "Rosh" which means to "make afresh." We celebrate Rosh Chodesh which is not a "new" moon, because it is the same old moon. It, instead, a "renewing moon..." a moon that is returning to full brightness... much like this "new covenant" (I say this because under the covenantal conditions of Jeremiah's Renewed covenant, Torah is a condition (it will be written on our hearts), Ezekiel tells us that the Spirit will be given so that we CAN obey Torah, and (according to Jeremiah) we will not have to go to our neighbor and say "Know YHVH" (i.e., evangelize) because we ALL will know YHVH. Therefore, according to Jeremiah 31 (and reiterated in Hebrews), we have not seen the absolute fulfillment of the "new Covenant."   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Sent: Tuesday, 29 June, 2004 07:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Prayer Request I would love to hear Slade’s response to this post.
