Abraham | From Abraham to Christ: The Covenant That Shaped Redemption

Abraham | From Abraham to Christ: The Covenant That Shaped Redemption

Episode 2.33


Father of Faith: The Life and Legacy of Abraham – Episode 4


The Abrahamic Covenant isn’t just ancient history—it’s the backbone of redemptive history. In this episode, Zach and Michael trace the stunning promises God gave to Abraham—land, offspring, and blessing to the nations—and how they stretch all the way to Jesus Christ. From Genesis 12 to Galatians 3, we unpack how God’s unilateral covenant, formalized through land grants and sealed with circumcision, finds ultimate fulfillment in the gospel. How do the promises to Abraham shape our hope today? What’s the connection between circumcision and Christ? And why does God swearing an oath by Himself matter for our assurance?

00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360
Michael, do you know my Saturday
morning rituals?

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,240
I believe you go play that.
That's.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,920
What I was taught, Yeah, you
nailed it.

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,200
What sport?
He's inviting it accurately.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,200
But he doesn't know the name.
Off the top of his head, I want

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,040
to say frisbee golf.
It's not frisbee golf.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,880
It's close.
Wow, we should just sit here.

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,800
Great, sit here until I can get
it.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,520
Yeah, you go play it's.
Really good.

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,080
It's like supreme ultimate
ultimate.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,240
Yeah, Yeah, great.
Ultimate Frisbee.

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680
You know, it's only recently
that it can be called ultimate

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,560
Frisbee.
Like like the actual league I

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,960
think Frisbee.
Oh, Frisbee is a trademark name.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,720
Exactly, I think now they got it
or it became unprotected or

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,840
something.
So now it's ultimate frisbee

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,240
like, but used to just be
ultimate.

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,520
Ultimate.
Yeah, it's like you.

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,640
It was like the professional
level where.

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,480
It was like it was implied that
what it was.

21
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:52,440
Yeah.
You just said ultimate.

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,640
There are a lot of names.
Maybe this is the banter.

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,840
I don't know where you're going.
OK, OK.

24
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Yeah, Yeah.
But there are a lot of names

25
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,240
that were trademarked.
Oh, yeah.

26
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,960
And then went into unprotected
aspirin.

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Aspirin.
Yeah, dumpster.

28
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,200
It was trademarked.
Google of course is, but you use

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,160
it, you know.
Hey I googled something so

30
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,160
probably Coke in the South.
Probably, probably.

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,760
So that's great.
That's a great direction.

32
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,160
I was going to say I got into
this is like it was a great

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,840
weather for Frisby, who thought
that like August, it's like 80.

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,440
It's like, wonderful.
You know, this, again, don't

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,600
know where you're going with
this, this banter, but I thought

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,480
about discussing as a banter.
Like if someone had said that

37
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,000
someone is altering our climate,
I would say, yeah, probably

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,760
because it has been such a weird
summer.

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
It's crazy rain, crazy rain,
crazy rain.

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Lightning.
OK.

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Were you there when we were
talking about lightning?

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Two, maybe two nights ago,
probably Tuesday night, I was

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,680
outside.
I saw the whole light, the whole

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400
sky light up as if it were
daytime.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Like I could see everything.
I was like, holy moly, and but

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760
no lightning.
And what I was doing was we had

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,520
scraps.
They're like fat and stuff.

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,720
We put those up the edge of our
tree line.

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240
There's some animal that eats
that don't want to put those

50
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,800
down the drain and stuff.
And I was headed towards the

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,000
wood line.
Oh boy.

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,840
And all of a sudden the craziest
lightning sound.

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
It wasn't just like loud
lightning sound.

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Cause we've all heard that, that
instant crack loud lightning.

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,560
And we, we know what it's like.
This sounded like a cosmic sized

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,280
deep oil fryer lightning going
off like bubbles of lightning.

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,720
And it was so the weirdest
noises from my sky I've heard in

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,640
my life.
And it probably is totally

59
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,800
derailing your that's.
Fine, this is good, this is

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,480
great 'cause it has been weird.
Like even looking at the sky,

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,320
I've seen so many more, like
even weird lightning strikes,

62
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,080
like just horizontal lightning,
like not just striking down,

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,000
just going across the sky.
It's weird.

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,800
Immediately after this lightning
I'm not done with.

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,040
My story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,160
People on our community Facebook
group all were like, what was

67
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,040
that?
What's going on?

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,680
What's going on?
I kind of described the

69
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080
phenomenon to chat, like what
was this?

70
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,520
And it says that it was likely a
positive lightning strike, which

71
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,240
I guess most of them are
negative.

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,960
I don't.
I'm trying to think through what

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440
that means because I know for
positive that means I got to

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,480
have alpha particles instead of
electrons going on.

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,680
But it said that those are the
types of like if it was a

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960
positive lightning strike,
that's the type that can trigger

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,440
a Sprite.
Have you ever heard of what a

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Sprite is?
I'm more of a coat guy, but

79
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,280
yeah, that's right, yeah.
So Sprite is this electrical

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,560
discharge in the upper upper
upper atmospheres.

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Like you couldn't even see it
from here.

82
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Like, but we have like the
International Space Station has

83
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,680
caught them like they look
almost like an upside down golf

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040
tee and they're like pink and
they're like just like they kind

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280
of come at a point and it's like
could could have triggered one

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,960
of those So crazy.
It was the craziest.

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,920
All right, so.
No, honestly, it has been super

88
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,160
weird weather.
It's like it was super hot.

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
We've been having lightning and
storms like all the time.

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,560
This feels really nice.
So got I was checking my my

91
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200
watch six got over 6 miles
ultimate frisbee like it when it

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,400
was when it was like 95.
I was getting like 3 miles like

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,680
I was like it just zaps you.
Today, Like I'm not running

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,240
today.
Oh.

95
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,200
Man it just like instantly you
just like have no energy.

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,680
It was like today could run
forever collided with a guy got

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,120
a like a knot on the old head my
and it hurt like I was like

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,400
dizzy.
So that's why you're kind of

99
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,480
little bit not with it on some
of the podcasts, like kind of

100
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,880
see you just kind of daze in
this this this eye pupil's a

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,840
little bit more.
Maybe so.

102
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,720
I don't think I had a
concussion, but I I was like

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800
dizzy for like not a long time,
like 15 seconds, then it went

104
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,160
away.
And what?

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,120
We call a bell ringer in
football.

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,520
My back of my head hit.
I collided with a guy hit him

107
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,200
like right here.
He got like a gash on his right

108
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:23,040
of his eye gash here.
Not it wasn't too bad.

109
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,160
I mean we'll it started hit.
I mean, I think it's going to

110
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,160
swell up pretty bad, but it
wasn't like profuse blood or

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,760
anything.
Just a little bit of blood, but

112
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,720
man.
No fisticuffs.

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,240
You know, I, I laid on the
smack.

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,560
I was like, hey, don't get near
me again, OK?

115
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,560
No, I'm just kidding.
I was total.

116
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,440
The sad thing was we were on the
same team.

117
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,600
We were making a defensive play
and the other team caught it

118
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,840
'cause we like ran into each
other.

119
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,240
We both missed the disc, hit
each other.

120
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Oh, man.
So I, I was gonna, we just be,

121
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,840
we don't think I was gonna say
sports injuries, you know, have

122
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:52,640
you had any with all of your
football and stuff?

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Any significant sports injuries.
No significant sports injuries,

124
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,840
which was crazy.
I, I think, you know, I think

125
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:03,360
I've told my story about playing
football and then dropping out

126
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200
and then playing later.
And maybe I missed that time

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,280
when the men's joints loosen up
and you get a lot of those

128
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,600
entries.
In the ninth grade, we were

129
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,200
lifting weights after school.
This is probably January.

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,880
Basketball season is, is afoot.
And me and this other football

131
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,160
player like, let's go lift
weights.

132
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,880
The guy that went to my church
and someone had stacked you ever

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,240
seen those plates are like the
size of like a 45 LB plate?

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,680
OK, but they're like 5 lbs.
Oh yeah, And there are four

135
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,560
floor exercises just to get the
bar off.

136
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Yeah, someone had stacked like
four of those on each side to

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360
make it look cool.
On a bench like I'm more than a

138
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,440
ton.
And I, I pulled all of them off

139
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:47,680
and one of them fell and hit my
4th metatarsal and it was just

140
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960
sore.
Just sore, kind of naggy sore.

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,880
I was in offseason and so maybe
this was after basketball

142
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,200
season, 'cause I wasn't
offseason, so basketball had

143
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720
must have been over.
I remember doing, did you ever

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280
do the dot drills?
Like it's like, you know, I do a

145
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:03,400
lot.
But I know them.

146
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I was doing those and like

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,960
one of those is like where
you're on your right foot and

148
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,120
you're doing a pattern.
I was like, man, my foot is

149
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,240
really sore.
Played basketball maybe a week

150
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:19,240
later, jumped up, came down, and
you got the ending break of that

151
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,240
4th metatarsal.
So but it it came back together,

152
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,720
got an X-ray.
Like, yeah, I can see it's

153
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,720
broken.
But really, we do not recommend

154
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,720
a cast like it back.
You know, this was in back in

155
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,160
those days.
Yeah, this is in the early 90s.

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,360
He's like back in the 70s.
We casted everything.

157
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,680
But we.
You don't need to cast this, but

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,600
you can't do anything that puts
extra pressure on there.

159
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,960
So this is, yeah, this was after
basketball season.

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,680
So I had to tell my coaches no
shot put, no discus.

161
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,920
I can't bench.
I mean, I can't squat.

162
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,280
I can't do dead bis, I can't do
power cleans.

163
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400
So that was my really only, but
nothing from like actually

164
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,520
getting hit or anything.
It's from a weight falling on my

165
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,680
foot.
Man, you got the 4th metatarsal?

166
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,520
I did fracture my 5th metacarpal
a basketball game one time.

167
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160
A classic.
They call it a boxer fracture.

168
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,040
A lot of people get it from like
banging their fist down, which I

169
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,680
wasn't doing.
It was in a basketball game.

170
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,120
It was a very unusual way to
break it.

171
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Not get into my senior year
basketball.

172
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,400
I was bummed.
Soccer 8th grade playing.

173
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080
I went to a small school like
Northside, so as a 8th grader I

174
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,120
was playing on the varsity team
because our varsity was not very

175
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,200
good.
It's actually it was great for

176
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,840
me.
Can you, I don't know if you can

177
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,240
imagine how my weight and my
height in 8th grade.

178
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,159
I can't because even Northwood,
as big as it is, we did have an

179
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:40,720
eighth grader playing on the
varsity team.

180
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,280
He was just it.
Does that I was I wouldn't I was

181
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,560
I would say like obviously I was
I was I was great little

182
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,640
starting to get these little
shots.

183
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,960
I wasn't like kicking from half
field or anything but I was like

184
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520
sneaking in there and someone
went up for a 5050 ball.

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,480
Someone came down on my left.
Videla fractured that's it was

186
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,200
going to Westminster
Presbyterian School, Baptist

187
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Presbyterian School.
That was like our biggest rival.

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,640
It was great.
And then I broke, broke a nose,

189
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,520
broke, broke my nose playing
basketball.

190
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,920
I got elbowed in the face.
That was not good.

191
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,560
I I tried to wear one of those
masks to play basketball and

192
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,760
that was not working.
Well, there was who was there

193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,240
was some professional on the
Bulls or something that wore

194
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,480
that?
There there from time to time,

195
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,160
like RIP Hamilton wore all the
time.

196
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,920
He played for the Pistons but
then later for the Bulls.

197
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520
There was like Kyrie wore, Kobe
wore it for a little bit some

198
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,440
players, but RIP Hamilton, look,
that guy, Richard Hamilton, he

199
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,040
wore it like all the time.
Once I think he, you know,

200
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480
messed up his nose one time.
I think those were my biggest

201
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,960
injuries.
But yeah, you know, weather,

202
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,560
lightning, injuries, I.
Probably told this story too,

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,000
but I had caused injuries.
I got called out in this.

204
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,760
It wasn't exactly Oklahoma, but
it was something similar to

205
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,320
that.
I was an eighth grader.

206
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,120
In this 9th grader I was like I
won big mod.

207
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,160
Oh, he did, I got.
Him and it hurt his back for he

208
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,440
didn't play football after that.
Like he walked and stuff, but

209
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,560
he's just like his parents are.
Probably like yeah, you don't

210
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,040
need, you're done with.
With with this.

211
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,280
Back entry, I will say, I know
we're like running along on this

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,920
bench, but one, this is great
'cause this just gives you

213
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,240
insight to my pettiness and, you
know, passive aggressiveness.

214
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Basketball game, basketball
practice.

215
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,480
Loved my JV coach.
He was great.

216
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,880
We all love I did because
varsity coach did not get along

217
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000
with him as well.
Great guy, great guy just did

218
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,840
not like resonate with like my
class as much.

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,960
And I, we were like walking
through different plays.

220
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,920
We had like a huge playbook,
which I was like, why aren't we

221
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,400
just scrimmaging?
Why are we going through so many

222
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,920
like formal plays in basketball?
And I made a pass during like a

223
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,440
scrimmage, like we were just
walking through it.

224
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,480
Someone picked it off and he was
like, hail can't be throwing

225
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360
those Sissy passes.
And I was like, we're just like

226
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,280
learning this play.
Next pass I made was like the

227
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,400
hardest chess pass I ever made.
Threw it to my it went through

228
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,360
his hands, hit another guy in
the face, bloody nose.

229
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,720
And he was like.
Hey, wasn't a Sissy pass.

230
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,320
It was great.
I did not get along with my

231
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920
junior high basketball coach.
Turns out he was addicted to

232
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,640
pain meds literally doctor
Jekyll Mr. Hyde like really cool

233
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,640
some days other days just would
like scream about his headache

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,360
and yell at us and like cut us
down like turns out you were

235
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,160
like on with with withdrawal
some.

236
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Oxy just takes the edge off, you
know what I mean?

237
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240
After a long day of teaching,
time to coach.

238
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:36,960
Oh man, that guy.
Well, from Oxy to Abraham, we're

239
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,240
talking covenants.
Get get excited Abraham.

240
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,400
This is our 4th episode in this
series.

241
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:52,280
Let's go ahead and take it to
the next level from the hearts

242
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,680
of the low country in South
Carolina.

243
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:00,000
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

244
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,320
level.
All right, so we kind of, we

245
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,160
read.
Through.

246
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,440
That's right, yeah.
In chapter 12, but I thought

247
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,960
maybe we should have an episode
and I think we've covered the

248
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160
covenants maybe as a series
before, but maybe just do a

249
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,480
quick look at the Abrahamic
covenant and then we'll kind of

250
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
cover, you know, if we're kind
of going through the life of

251
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Abraham future times, we'll kind
of brush over those two because

252
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,280
this covenant gets repeated
multiple times and there's like

253
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,080
some slight variations in it as
it's told different.

254
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,160
Are you saying the Abraham
covenant is important?

255
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,920
I would say the Abrahamic
covenant is the most important

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,880
covenant, and I would say that
because it is what gives life to

257
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
the new covenant.
You know, it's out of, you know,

258
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,000
the new covenant finds its roots
in the Abrahamic covenant.

259
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,320
So in one sense, we only have
the new covenant because of the

260
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Abrahamic covenant.
Abrahamic Covenant foreshadows

261
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640
the Messiah who's coming.
It's like all these covenants

262
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,920
just get like narrower or
narrower shit.

263
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Got Abraham and then it like
kind of like funnels down.

264
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,320
OK, we start getting a nation
with Moses and then like with

265
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,000
David, OK, now it's it's like
you start getting like these

266
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,560
clues and these hints and it's
Oh, it's so great.

267
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,600
Like looking back on it.
I I know it probably well, it,

268
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,040
it probably was great for them
as well.

269
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,640
But it's like being able to see
like all of this, like unravel

270
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,040
or come together is a better way
to put it than unravel.

271
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,680
Everything just really come to
fruition.

272
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,520
So because really I like this
main point.

273
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,040
Everything from Israel's history
to the arrival of Christ and the

274
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,680
inclusion of the Gentiles hinges
on this promise and all that's

275
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,400
like baked in there and in more
shadowy form.

276
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,520
But that's great that it's there
from the beginning.

277
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:42,680
It is from the beginning and and
you wonder how how the Jews

278
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,680
missed it, How you know?
Yeah, yeah, 'cause it's there,

279
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,800
yeah.
It's there and and the first

280
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,960
time that Jesus there was an
assassination attempt on him was

281
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,520
because he's mentioning the
Gentiles and how they're going

282
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,640
to be welcomed in.
And yeah.

283
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,120
That's what that's what they got
and.

284
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,960
He was.
He was using Scripture.

285
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,960
Yeah, I think he.
Was he?

286
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Yeah, he was like he was using
Scripture.

287
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,480
That.
That, that, yeah, that that is

288
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040
insane.
All right, so we kind of read

289
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,400
through these verses already,
Genesis 12, but we'll let's

290
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,000
quickly review them.
Go forth from your country and

291
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
from your relatives and from
your father's house to land.

292
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,320
I will show you, now here's
where we get the covenant, and I

293
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680
will make you a great nation.
I will bless you.

294
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,280
I will make your name great, and
so you shall be a blessing.

295
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,800
I will bless those who bless
you, and the one who curses you

296
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,000
I will curse.
And in you all the families of

297
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,600
the earth will be blessed.
Man, lot, lot of good stuff in

298
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,160
there, a lot of blessing
happening, a lot of greatness,

299
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920
all these things.
Acts 7 Stephen preaching

300
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,760
preaching this this sermon is
mentioning Abraham, Abraham and

301
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760
he says starting in verse 2 of
Chapter 7.

302
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,280
And he said, hear me, brethren
and fathers, the God of glory

303
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,640
appeared to our father Abraham
when he was in Mesopotamia

304
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,960
before he lived in Haran and
said to him, leave your country

305
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760
and your relatives and come into
the land that I will show you.

306
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Then he left the land of the
Chaldeans and settled in Haran.

307
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,040
From there, after his father
died, God had him move to this

308
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,200
country in which you are now
living all.

309
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Right.
So we see this repeat of this

310
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,880
calling out of Abraham and the
specific and and really there

311
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,720
are some covenants that precede
this.

312
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,800
OK.
Yeah, that's right.

313
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,680
Depends on how you chop them up.
You might say the Edenic

314
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,120
covenant.
There you go.

315
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,080
The adenic covenant boom, you
might say the noaic covenant,

316
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,120
but really those were to
everyone alive on the earth at

317
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,200
that point in time.
They there was not nation

318
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,560
specific and as you said, this
is going to get very so now I

319
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,520
have a nation, then we're going
to get to David and his line and

320
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,760
then it's going to get to Jesus.
But it's almost like an

321
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
hourglass because it's through
Jesus now.

322
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,720
Bronze back.
Out bronze, back out to the

323
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,040
whole earth.
So specific things we see in

324
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,080
this.
We see a land promise,

325
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,080
nationhood.
Yeah.

326
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Blessings that he will be a
blessing that he'll his name

327
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,160
will be great, and all the
people will be blessed through

328
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,680
him.
And that, that is good.

329
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,320
All those things are very, very
important.

330
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,280
And God kind of comes through
with all these areas.

331
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600
It's not like you have to like
pigeonhole and say, this is how

332
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,840
we read it.
It's like, man, all of these

333
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,560
things so great.
Of utmost importance is God is

334
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,280
saying, hey, this is what I'm
doing.

335
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,200
It's not saying, hey, work
really hard.

336
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Abraham, you got this.
It's like unilateral initially

337
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,080
making it happen.
Yeah.

338
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,400
And when I taught this one time,
there was a person in the class

339
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,200
that said, if this is
unconditional, why does it skip

340
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,040
over Ishmael and Esau?
And I was so puzzled because it

341
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,320
was such a weird take.
I was like trying to think about

342
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,840
how to answer it, but I think I
came up with the right answer.

343
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,080
It was just like such a left
field question.

344
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,400
I was like, well, the
unconditionality is that through

345
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Abraham's descendants, he's
bringing about this promise.

346
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,440
Oh, 'cause he's saying like,
hey, that that was blessings for

347
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,800
everybody, right?
OK, Gotcha.

348
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,359
I was like, yeah, but it's
honestly yeah, yeah.

349
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,319
Yeah, anyway, yeah, but his
through his ascendance, he's

350
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,599
going to bless all the nations.
Like that's not going to stop.

351
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:20,160
So you want to be a bad actor,
You want to be a bad actor,

352
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,520
that's fine.
You you can step yourself

353
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,440
outside the of the the goodness
here.

354
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,960
But through this is it's going
to still happen.

355
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,760
And you look at Ishmael was
blessed.

356
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,280
No, that I was gonna say that
too.

357
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,520
It's like he was prolific with
his.

358
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,840
I mean, obviously you know his
line.

359
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,920
He had a great nation.
He saw became a great nation.

360
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:41,560
That's.
Right.

361
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,320
Yeah, eventually they were cut
off because of how they treated

362
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,240
Israel.
But yeah, All right.

363
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,840
So we do get a little smidgen of
this repeated in Genesis 13.

364
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,640
We didn't do we didn't spend a
lot of time on Genesis 13, but

365
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,600
but after they split apart, God
tells this in verse 14.

366
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,760
He says the Lord said to Abram
after Lot had separated from

367
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,240
him.
Now lift up your eyes and look

368
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,480
from the place where you are
northward, southward, eastward,

369
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,320
and westward, for all the land
you see.

370
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,200
I will give it to you and your
descendants forever.

371
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,360
I will make your descendants as
the dust of the earth, so that

372
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,280
if anyone can number the dust of
the earth, then your descendants

373
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,360
can be numbered.
Arise, walk about the land

374
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,080
through its length and breadth,
for I will give it to you.

375
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,280
I love it.
There's like this tangible

376
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
reality to it where he's like,
hey, just look as far as you can

377
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,520
every which way.
Walk it up and down.

378
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,280
This, I, I'm giving this to you
and we mentioned this before.

379
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,240
He's been walking through some
different, you know, city states

380
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,080
along the way and stuff.
He's like, you know, it's like

381
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,800
there's all these people.
Yeah.

382
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,320
And then, and so you mentioned
the Mosaic covenant.

383
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,680
Throughout the Mosaic covenant
there are always these, there

384
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,760
are all these if thens, if you
obey me this, but if you disobey

385
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,400
me this.
And if you there's no ifs here

386
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,440
like so we would say this is an
unconditional covenant that's

387
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,200
going to be backed up by our
next section in Genesis 15.

388
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,200
I don't know if you want.
Do you have anything else to say

389
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,440
about?
No, I think I think that's

390
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,600
great.
I will jump in at verse 18 of

391
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,520
chapter 15.
On that day the Lord made a

392
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,840
covenant with Abram saying to
your descendants, I have given

393
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,440
this land from the river of
Egypt as far as the great river,

394
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,000
the river Euphrates, the Kinite
and the Kinozite and the

395
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,200
Cabinite and the Hittite and the
Perizzite and the Raphaim and

396
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,280
the Amorite and the Canaanite
and the Gurdushite and the

397
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Jebusite.
Got all the all the sites in

398
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,920
there.
What's interesting here is the

399
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,280
river of Egypt.
Yeah.

400
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,920
And the river Euphrates.
That's that's pretty large.

401
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,720
That's.
Huge.

402
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Now there is debate about what
is the river of Egypt.

403
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Some people are like, oh, it's
not the Nile, it's this other

404
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,840
river.
But you know, even it was the

405
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,640
other river, it's big.
But if it's the Nile, that's a

406
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,600
huge swath of land.
And and this is different too,

407
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,680
but it's interesting.
I don't know everything on top

408
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,840
of my head, but in like, like
when you read Joshua, like the

409
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,960
land they're supposed to take
and divvy up doesn't really it

410
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,240
it doesn't it doesn't match up
exactly what they do.

411
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800
It's supposed to be actually a
little bit bigger.

412
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,040
You know, it's interesting
where, you know, maybe they

413
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800
don't.
Not realize now we're in, you

414
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,360
know, they didn't come through
with different things down down

415
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,000
the road.
But what's important about this,

416
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,040
I think is that it is like like
before we were saying it's like

417
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:25,160
a real place.
It's like it's defined.

418
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Yeah, and I want to pull up
Genesis 15 because that passage

419
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,840
doesn't have everything.
So if you read through, let's

420
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,960
just find this.
Oh.

421
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,560
Yeah.
Yeah, so God tells Abraham to

422
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,320
get all these animals.
Oh yeah.

423
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Cut them in half.
And this was a way of making a

424
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:59,240
contract back then.
And so like you and I might sign

425
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,400
a paper and it gets notarized
and that's a contract here.

426
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,600
They would get some animals, cut
them in half, and then two

427
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,800
people walk down the middle of
the animals and basically

428
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,880
they're saying, hey, if I don't
keep my side of the bargain, let

429
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,680
me be done as these animals just
cut in half.

430
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,680
I love that picture because it
it.

431
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,320
Maybe you know, that's why
things aren't so binding today.

432
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Just signing your signature, who
cares?

433
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,120
But it says in verse 12 Now when
the sun was going down, a deep

434
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,920
sleep fell upon Abram, and
behold, terror and great

435
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,120
darkness fell upon them.
God said to Abram, Know for

436
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,520
certain that your descendants
will be strangers in a land that

437
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,840
is not theirs, where they will
be enslaved and oppressed 400

438
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,440
years.
But I will also judge the nation

439
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,400
whom they serve.
And afterward they will come out

440
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,920
with many possessions.
As for you, you shall go to your

441
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,160
father's in peace.
You will be buried at a good old

442
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,960
age.
Then the 4th generation, they

443
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,160
will return here, for the
iniquity of the Amorite is not

444
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,920
yet complete.
It came about when the sun had

445
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,400
set, that it was very dark, and
behold, there appeared a smoking

446
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,080
oven and a flaming torch which
passed between these pieces of

447
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,600
animals.
And so and then with the work,

448
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,040
the verses that you just read.
So what we have here is God, or

449
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,160
at least the manifestation of
God, walking through and making

450
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,600
this covenant with Himself.
Yeah, Abraham also is

451
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,960
significant.
Yeah, Abraham was put to sleep,

452
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,120
put, you know, some, some type
of trance where he can't

453
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,280
participate.
And God's like I, I'm doing this

454
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,960
myself.
You're not going to be able to

455
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,600
keep it.
I'm going to keep it.

456
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,400
I'm I'm going to hold myself to
this covenant.

457
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,360
And that's so good.
It reminds me of Hebrews where,

458
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:37,640
you know, God swears by, you
can't swear by a great neighbor

459
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,880
to God.
It's like, you know, he's going

460
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,520
to pat pass through these pieces
alone.

461
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,320
Yeah, that is.
And I love everything about it.

462
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,480
It's like this dreadful tear.
It's like such a vivid picture.

463
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,600
And so we keep going a couple
chapters later to Genesis 17,

464
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:01,040
one through 14 as we continue to
read about this this covenant.

465
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,040
I'll I'll start reading in verse
one.

466
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,640
It says now when Abram was 99
years old, the Lord appeared to

467
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,920
Abram and said to him, so let's
let's do the math real quick.

468
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,080
And we've done this in the past.
Yeah.

469
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Previously we read that he was
75.

470
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560
When he left Haran.
When he left Haran. 24 years

471
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,520
later. 24 years later, the Lord
appeared to Abram and said to

472
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,840
him, I am God Almighty, walk
before me and be blameless.

473
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,440
I will establish my covenant
between me and you, and I will

474
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,080
multiply you exceedingly.
Abram fell on his face and got

475
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,560
talked with him, saying, As for
me, behold, my covenant is with

476
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,280
you, and you will be the father
of a multitude of nations.

477
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,440
No longer shall your name be
called Abram, but your name

478
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,600
shall be Abraham.
For I have made you the father

479
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,960
of a multitude of nations.
I will make you exceedingly

480
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,320
fruitful, and I will make
nations of you.

481
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,400
The kings will come forth from
you.

482
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,440
I will establish my covenant
between me and yours, and you

483
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,600
and your descendants after you
throughout their generations,

484
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,880
for an everlasting covenant to
be God to you, unto your

485
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,240
descendants after you.
I will give to you unto your

486
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,240
descendants after you the land
of your sojournings called the

487
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,760
land of Canaan, for an
everlasting possession, and I

488
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,640
will be their God.
God said further to Abraham, Now

489
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,720
it's for you.
You shall keep my covenant, you

490
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,160
and your descendants after you,
throughout their generations.

491
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,880
This is my covenant which you
shall keep between me and you

492
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,720
and your descendants after you.
Every male among you shall be

493
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,080
circumcised, and you shall be
circumcised in the flesh of your

494
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,160
foreskin, and it shall be the
sign of the covenant between me

495
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,960
and you and you.
And every male among you who is

496
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,880
8 days old shall be circumcised
throughout your generations.

497
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,960
A servant who was born in the
house, who was bought with money

498
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,800
from any foreigner who is not of
your descendants, A servant who

499
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,320
was born in your house or is
bought with your money, shall

500
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,160
surely be circumcised.
Thus shall my covenant be in

501
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,800
your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.

502
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,560
But an uncircumcised male who
was not circumcised in the flesh

503
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,120
of his forest, and that person
shall be cut off from his

504
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:52,040
people.
He has broken my covenants.

505
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,400
Very good, I'll take the
probably similar as long of a

506
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,880
read.
Galatians 316 Now the promises

507
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,800
were spoken to Abraham into his
seed.

508
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,280
He does not say and to seeds as
referring to many, but rather to

509
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,720
1 and to your seed that is
Christ.

510
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,600
And I heard recently a podcaster
talking about this in the plural

511
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,040
versus singular.
And it's like clearly, you know,

512
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,800
the seed is one of those words
like sheep.

513
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,360
And so you it could be singular
or plural.

514
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:23,280
And I guess it was that way in
the original language.

515
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,520
I'd have to look at it in the
original language to know.

516
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,360
I'd be curious to see if it's
it's that way, but the point

517
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,800
that was being made here was
Paul's making a theological

518
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,560
point that ultimately is
fulfilled in one seed, but the

519
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080
but there was a way of
understanding it to his

520
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,160
descendants as well, right?
It's to all of his descendants,

521
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,120
but ultimately it is.
The promises are yes in Jesus

522
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:48,160
Christ.
That's right.

523
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
And and of note too, it's like
man, this, this sign of the

524
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,560
covenant circumcision, it lines
up with that to seed.

525
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,640
You know, it's like this is this
is, this is what's going to

526
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,200
happen.
All right, so content of this is

527
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,720
his promises of many nations and
kings from Abraham that we've

528
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,600
been calling Abraham.
Abraham really all along.

529
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,400
We've slipped in a few Abrams
every now and then.

530
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,600
We don't have to do that anymore
because now his name has changed

531
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,600
to Abraham.
Yeah.

532
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,760
And then we see the seed
promised.

533
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,320
You mentioned circumcision.
Probably should do a deep dive

534
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,440
on that sometime.
I know people.

535
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Will do that.
I would have to do an 8 part

536
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,240
series, yeah.
And there is, it is conditional

537
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,840
element.
So we do see like, hey, if you

538
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,720
want to be kind of a part of
this covenant, circumcision is

539
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,960
the sign of that, of that.
That's right, yeah.

540
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Physical covenant.
We had a question recently on

541
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,720
one of our shorts about the will
of God, and the question was

542
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:54,160
like how could Moses be the
chosen leader through God's

543
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,560
will, but then he's almost
killed.

544
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,400
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, what a crazy passage.

545
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,840
Right, right.
And I was like, and my response

546
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,200
was basically, I think this
demonstrates sovereign will and

547
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,600
moral will to AT God's sovereign
will, Moses is going to lead the

548
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,240
people out.
God's moral will.

549
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
You're going to follow the
covenant.

550
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,880
And if you don't, you can choose
to not follow it, but that's

551
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,280
going to come with consequences.
And it's not really clear to me

552
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,240
whether it was Zipporah or
Moses, like, which one of them

553
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,240
chose not to.
Like Zipporah finally does the

554
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,640
circumcision and like, throws
the foreskins at them and is

555
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,280
like you're, you know, your
bloody husband to me or

556
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,600
something like that.
Yeah, that it's, there's some

557
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,800
like idiom, I don't know.
There's something that's like

558
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320
hard to really understand there
that that is very interesting.

559
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Great.
So we keep going.

560
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,600
I just, it's like, you can't,
you can't miss it.

561
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,280
You know what I mean?
It's like, hey, if you forgot,

562
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,960
just keep reading for two
chapters or three and you're

563
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:59,600
going to hit it again, right?
Genesis 2215 through 18 He goes.

564
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Then the Angel of the Lord
called to Abraham a second time

565
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,720
from heaven, and said, by
myself, I have sworn, declares

566
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,120
the Lord, because you have done
this thing, and have not

567
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,440
withheld your son, your only
son.

568
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,120
Indeed, I will greatly bless
you, and I will greatly multiply

569
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,960
your seed as the stars of the
heavens, as the sand which is on

570
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,120
the seashore, and your seed
shall possess the gate of their

571
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,560
enemies.
In your seed, all the nations of

572
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,440
the earth shall be blessed,
because you have obeyed my

573
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,240
voice.
This is coming off the heels of

574
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,120
Isaac.
Maybe sacrifice.

575
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,160
This ramp shows up.
So that's what's going on here.

576
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
And if you read that in the the
part that these verses weren't

577
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600
there.
But if you read the verses in

578
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,560
King James, it says, and God
will provide himself a lamb.

579
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,040
And it's like it's, I don't, you
know, it's hard to know whether

580
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,800
that's in the original language,
but it's in, it's in the

581
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,400
authorized version that God will
provide himself a lamb.

582
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,280
So there's kind of a double
entendre there.

583
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,480
Hebrews 613 through 18.
Did you have anything else to

584
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,880
say about justice for when God
made the promise to Abraham,

585
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,800
since he could swear by no one
greater?

586
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,880
That's what you mentioned
earlier.

587
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,760
He swore by himself, saying, I
will surely bless you, and I

588
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,640
will surely multiply you.
And so, having patiently waited,

589
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,000
He obtained the promise.
For men swear by one greater

590
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,040
than themselves, and with them
an oath given as confirmation,

591
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,160
as an end of every dispute.
In the same way, God, desiring

592
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,400
even more to show to the heirs
of the promise the

593
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,240
unchangeableness of His purpose,
interpose with an oath, so that

594
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,080
by two unchangeable things in
which it is impossible for God

595
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,000
to lie, we who have taken
refuge, who have strong

596
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,080
encouragement to take hope hold
of the hope set before us.

597
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Man, I'm, I'm aren't you so glad
Hebrews was written?

598
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,240
It's like Hebrews does such a
good job, just like driving

599
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320
these points home.
And so so we read this Genesis

600
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,080
passage.
After offering Isaac, God swears

601
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,480
by himself and throws in some of
this with the with the promise

602
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,200
offspring numerous as the stars
in the sand.

603
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,520
Offspring will possess the gates
of their enemies, and through

604
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,280
offspring all nations will be
blessed.

605
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,720
A lot of good stuff.
Yeah.

606
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,400
So if you take all of those, we
see some recurring themes land

607
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,760
it's given.
So we have a physical

608
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,840
inheritance for Abrahams
descendants and I think This is

609
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,480
why you have to be some type.
Oh yeah.

610
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,320
I think you got to.
Well, yeah, this is a good thing

611
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,360
to talk about because the the
tricky thing is it has the these

612
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,440
words everlasting like tied a
lot to some of this this land

613
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,280
stuff.
But why couldn't, I mean, why

614
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:52,280
couldn't it just be, you know, a
physical land in the future

615
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,640
that's just like different than
you think that just is like

616
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840
greater fulfilled.
It's like it's it is Israel, but

617
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,320
in a different way.
That's much better.

618
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,560
That's not you know what I mean?
Yeah.

619
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,840
So I, I, I think I know what you
mean.

620
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:09,160
So what you mean is Jesus, a
Jew, is going to come down and

621
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,120
rule from Jerusalem, and maybe
his immediate capital of the

622
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,040
whole world is going to stretch
from the Nile to Euphrates and

623
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,120
he'll rule the whole world from
there.

624
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,160
And but it's even bigger than
that because that's the capital

625
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,880
and he's the king of the world.
Not to quote Leonardo DiCaprio.

626
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,320
Maybe because I'm trying to
think like so nice and I don't

627
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,360
want to I don't want to de
relative.

628
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,840
This is better for a different
time.

629
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,640
If we've got too much to get
through, but you know, looking

630
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,200
at Amil or looking, would they
be like, Oh, no, Jesus, he's not

631
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,600
Jewish and not going to be a
king.

632
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:45,440
And you know, you know what I'm
saying?

633
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,320
Like, I don't think they, I
don't think that's what they I

634
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,080
think they would.
I mean, maybe they're

635
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,560
spiritualizing it by, you know,
not having the millennial reign.

636
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,000
But I But wouldn't they say he
it will reign over the whole new

637
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,040
heavens and new earth?
Or they would say no?

638
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Will Jesus reign over all the
new heavens and new earth?

639
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,520
Yeah, yeah.
OK.

640
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,200
Yeah.
So that's why I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm

641
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,880
missing like what the like,
other than it being the

642
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,760
millennial reign physically
before that, but you know, like,

643
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,720
what's the, what's the
difference?

644
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,080
That's what I don't understand
what you're saying.

645
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,600
Like, what's their qualms?
This could be fulfilled in

646
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,320
eternity rather than in the
millennial reign.

647
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,800
Correct.
Yeah.

648
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,760
I mean, would that is that what
they I mean I don't know.

649
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:33,080
Potentially, but it seems like
in eternity you only have saved

650
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,200
people there.
So it's like it's kind of a

651
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:41,520
given.
Like to me it seems somewhat

652
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,880
anti climatic for this.
And what if we were to look at

653
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,280
the Davidic covenant?
Hey, you're going to have

654
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,640
someone who reigns on the throne
forever.

655
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,520
Because So what you're saying is
pre meal, I mean there's going

656
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,360
to be like death.
He's I mean, there's going to be

657
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,360
sinners.
And that's like more compelling

658
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,640
because of this.
It's like when he reigns,

659
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,840
there's going to be some bad
stuff going on, and that's just

660
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,440
like, you know.
He will reign and set the world

661
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,360
to straight.
Yeah, He'll be a benevolent

662
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:15,440
dictator, the best form of
government, a, you know,

663
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,960
perfect, perfectly dictator.
And there will be people who

664
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,680
will rebel.
But they will.

665
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,600
You know, face, they'll face
justice.

666
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,680
The justice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

667
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:30,320
And so it's so essentially that
that's the biggest difference

668
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,720
between that's what I always
hear.

669
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,720
It's like, oh, this everlasting
land that Amil like

670
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,720
spiritualizes it versus
physical.

671
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,080
But but I would feel like they
would.

672
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,320
They would think the new heavens
and new earth is like a physical

673
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,160
place too.
But.

674
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,600
Yeah, I do think new Heavens and
New Earth is physical.

675
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,680
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that that's what I always get

676
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,560
confused about 'cause then it
would be everlasting.

677
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
I don't know, I or you know,
it's you know what I'm saying.

678
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,440
So anyway these.
Are the these thoughts I just?

679
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,360
But but then it's the whole
world, so why would you say the

680
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,720
Jews have this?
So in eternity all the Jews have

681
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,400
to stay here and the goyim get
to go get the run of the rest of

682
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,680
the place.
Kid everywhere.

683
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Else, yeah, I don't, I don't
know how all of that that is

684
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,000
going to be interesting just
with, you know.

685
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,880
And it's Will the new heavens
and the earth have the same

686
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,840
geography?
Right, right, right, right.

687
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:18,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, That's, that's
a good point.

688
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,440
Yeah.
Unanswerable.

689
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,000
Land.
Land.

690
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,239
All right.
And C yes, seed want to fly land

691
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,719
to it by seed.
Sorry.

692
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,840
So there's going to be both
physical descendants of Israel

693
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,920
and then there's the singular
seed of Christ and then the

694
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,040
blessing to all the nations.
Gospel is going to go the

695
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,480
Gentiles.
We see that clearly in Galatians

696
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,280
3/8.
The scripture foreseen that God

697
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,040
would justify the Gentiles by
faith.

698
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,639
Preach the gospel beforehand to
Abraham, saying all the nations

699
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,840
will be blessed to you.
So those are the three kind of

700
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,840
big bucket buckets for this
land, descendants and blessings

701
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,560
to the nations through Jesus.
Great.

702
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,120
And so if we're, you know, doing
a little sneak peek ahead,

703
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,240
trying to connect this to the
Davidic covenant, which is this

704
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,920
is always interesting.
You know, in Second Samuel 7

705
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,960
word covenants not used.
We do read covenant in Saul in

706
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,760
the book of Psalms, but you know
you can have a covenant without.

707
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,400
Just like anything else, you
don't need some people.

708
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,600
A verbal contract is a contract
even if you don't say this is a

709
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,360
verbal.
Contract.

710
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,080
That's right.
Just just you know, so you'll

711
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
look at the David, the Davidic
covenant, and look at the the

712
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,080
promises.
There's a perpetual dynasty, OK?

713
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,080
He's gonna have a son who's
gonna build God's house, and

714
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,800
there'll be a throne that's not
just any throne, but an eternal

715
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,200
throne.
And you think this son who will

716
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,240
build God's house is a double
entendre?

717
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,320
I mean, yeah, seems like yeah.
Yeah, with a with a close hand

718
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,680
and then all.
The yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

719
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,080
I like that.
Connection.

720
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,040
The kings promise to Abraham are
narrowed to the line of David

721
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,760
and Messian Messianna.
Expectation is sharpened.

722
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,200
I mean, isn't that crazy?
Like everyone from the nuns,

723
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,360
like I'm under people like, yes,
I'm on the Trabajuda.

724
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,440
Like this is, this is like the
this is, you know?

725
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,240
Yeah.
Like, oh damn.

726
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,480
Oh, come on, I.
Think you know the best?

727
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,520
You know, you have all these
movies about the life of Christ.

728
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:21,160
If you had a movie that kind of
started with this devout Jewish

729
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,680
guy, maybe a grandfather
teaching his grandson, you know,

730
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,800
all of this stuff and they don't
know Jesus is on the scene yet.

731
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,720
And then you start seeing Jesus
and and like all the.

732
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,680
Stuff your.
Grandfather is was had taught

733
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,560
their son is like now being seen
in Jesus of Galilee and he's

734
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,360
like grandfather is this the
Messiah.

735
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,080
You know that would be a good
that would be a good life of

736
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,440
Jesus movie.
So for all those.

737
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,520
Now you told the world.
Now they're going to take your

738
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,160
idea.
All right, New covenant first

739
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,320
mentioned in Jeremiah 3131.
So we are like fast forwarding

740
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,800
past the Kingdom, you know, the
judges, the conquest, all of

741
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,920
that stuff, the divided Kingdom.
Israel has been scattered by

742
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,440
Assyria.
Judah is about to be taken

743
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,000
captive.
That's what's going on.

744
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,080
And we're going to get Jeremiah
3131.

745
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,680
That's something.
Read that.

746
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,360
I'm not necessarily going to say
the listener.

747
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,800
Read that because you'll see,
you know, Jeremiah is basically

748
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,320
saying, hey, this Mosaic
covenant, you've broken it.

749
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,880
Yeah.
This it's, it's no longer, you

750
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,880
know.
This is, to me, the most

751
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:37,600
compelling reason where there's
a little bit less continuity

752
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,520
than maybe like, Presbyterian
Brothers would say.

753
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,000
It's like, this just seems
different, you know what I mean?

754
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,680
Like it dramatically.
Right, right.

755
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,040
Yeah.
And even when Moses is giving

756
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,600
the Jews the Mosaic covenant
that God gave him, he basically

757
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,640
says, you break this covenant,
I'm going to do all these

758
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,240
horrible things and accept
because I'm going to remember

759
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,520
Jacob and Isaac and Abraham, I
would utterly destroy you.

760
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,440
But it's because of the
Abrahamic covenant back there

761
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,720
that I'm going to have mercy on
you.

762
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,720
And so we kind of see that
happening, but through the the

763
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:15,800
new covenant.
And and this is mentioned lots

764
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,800
of different places.
Jeremiah 3131, Luke 168 through

765
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,680
73 Galatians 326 through 29.
We're going to see that the land

766
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,200
and now this is going to say new
heavens and new earth.

767
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,680
Thanks Chad for summarizing that
force.

768
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,240
See Christ in him all believe in
blessing, forgiveness of sin and

769
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,520
spiritual indwelling.
So.

770
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:45,800
So Chad is not a dis be.
Luke 1 makes this connection the

771
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,120
coming of Jesus directly, like
you were saying to God

772
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,960
remembering his oath with
Abraham.

773
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,720
Gentiles grafted in heirs
according to the promise Paul

774
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:57,920
writes about in Galatians 3.
And Romans 10.

775
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,160
And Romans 10, Yeah, I think, I
think you're in right there.

776
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,800
So let's let's start moving
towards wrapping this up.

777
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,400
I just said there's some
discontinuity, but there is

778
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,760
obviously continuity where where
these these are, these are not

779
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,400
totally just that's where you go
wrong with the old school

780
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,840
dispensationalism where it's
like totally broken up, right?

781
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,520
No, no, there's more connection
than that.

782
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So kind of talked about it, even

783
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,040
if you get a broader picture, AB
and Eve, hey.

784
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:29,280
Multiply.
Yeah.

785
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:32,040
You know, do good things, do
this work.

786
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,840
They broke that, he says.
He's still going to say, you

787
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,920
know, go do the.
He may not say, multiply a

788
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,960
second time.
Oh yeah, that's interesting.

789
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Yeah.
Yeah, right, right.

790
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,920
Yeah.
Noah, he's going to, he is going

791
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,200
to say go multiply.
And he gives them rules about

792
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,200
eating meat with blood.
Man sheds man by his, you know,

793
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,000
by man his blood will be shed.
So those are kind of those big

794
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,800
things.
Now we neck down to Abrahamic

795
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,120
covenant and then to the Davidic
covenant, then the New Covenant,

796
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,040
and they form this continuous
kind of redemptive thread.

797
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,400
So Abraham going to bless all
the nations through your seed,

798
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,720
Davidic.
The seed will be a king on an

799
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:13,200
eternal throne.
The New Covenant King Jesus

800
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,680
reigns, blessings all nations
through salvation.

801
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,760
Man, so good.
So that I, man, I love all of

802
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,720
these covenants.
Yeah.

803
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,240
You've taught the Covenant class
about a bajillion times, you

804
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:29,000
know, so.
I think it's because once you

805
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,560
have, once you kind of have an
understanding of the covenants

806
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,200
and a general history of the Old
Testament, it really, I think it

807
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:42,000
helps give you an interpretive
framework that you can go read a

808
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,720
book in the Old Testament and
kind of understand what's going

809
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,600
on.
Why are these people doing what

810
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,280
they're doing So.
Great.

811
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,320
Last question, are you part of
the people of the Promise?

812
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,200
It's a big question.
It is a good question.

813
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,120
With very big consequences.
Based on what?

814
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,680
Your answer is eternal
consequences.

815
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:05,360
Yeah, yeah.
I like these Abraham.

816
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,880
This is #4. #4 got it done,
probably got about 20 more to

817
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,240
go, I don't know.
Hope you love Abraham.

818
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,520
This is great.
I love it.

819
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,640
Anything else about the
Abrahamic covenant, my friend?

820
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,520
No, nothing.
Awesome.
