Both. But that has nothing to do with signs.

If as you claim that you are a teacher of the Scriptures, then you would known that Jesus was referring to the covenant that has been present since the time of Adam, a very ancient covenant, which has been in play every since.

But the Ten Commandments was a covenant by itself, and had its own sign. What was it?
I imagine either the tablets or the Ark of the Covenant, ...probably both, as the tablets were the tangible witness to the commandments, and the ark's sole purpose was to house the tablets. ...which then raises the question about the tabernacle, ...and the sacrificial system...?
My final answer, the Ark of the Covenant?

He's talking about the end of the age when both those who were believing for the Messiah, the seed of the woman, when they died, including Adam and Noah and Abraham and Moses and David, etc., and those who believed on His name in the New Covenant. He's talking about people from both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Read Exodus 31:13 remembering that the covenant was the Ten Commandments. Something about them, specifically, was its sign.

When the covenant comes to an end and is replaced by a New Covenant, the sign ends to, and the new sign of the New Covenant takes over.

What? You are not making any sense. What are you smoking?

Interesting about the jewelry. Is that in the Bible or in the Quran?

its in the bible, I think iver in genesis or kings and regarding quran possibly coz I do see a number of muslims who like 2 show off their jewellery speshly at speakers corner coz they wanna be like Ishmael and his colony, and also wearing jewellery has a long pagan tradition!! and beyond dat has a dark connotation and history!! actual demons are said 2 wear jewellery speshly (rings) out of pride 2 glorify themselves infront of satan.

You are right on the New Covenant, except it was only one of the elements. It was His blood that took away our sin. So the cup of the New Covenant is the sign of the New Covenant. Good job!

The sign of the Old Covenant of the Ten Commandments is the Sabbath. Exodus 31:13. It, along with all the other holy convocations of Leviticus 23 are being fulfilled in Christ.

So you got that right, and I finished this question, so you get to ask another question to keep this thread going. The if fun.

who was rahab?

who was rahab?

Rahab, was the Harlot who lived on the wall of Jericho: -

Josh 2:1-2: - 2:1 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho."
So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country."

Josh 6:17: - 17 Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

Josh 6:22-25: - 22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her." 23 And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. 24 But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father's household, and all that she had. So she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.​

Rahab is also mentioned in the Genealogy of Christ: -

Ruth 4:18-22: - 18 Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron; 19 Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; 20 Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon; 21 Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; 22 Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.

Matt 1:2-6: - 2 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and Jesse begot David the king.​

Hope that helps.

Shalom

It was also a sign of the Law. Surely you see circumcision mentioned dozens of times throughout the Law....

Genesis 17:10-12 (Covenant between God and Abraham)
10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.

Exodus 31:13
13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

Go read the verse in context.

The only context I see is that you have no understanding of the significance of this one verse: -

Matt 13:51-52: - 51 Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?"

They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

52 Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old."
What I am suggesting is that you have no understanding of the Greek words, "καινὰ," "kaina" and "παλαιά", "palaia" and their implication in the context in which this verse was stated by Christ.

What was brought out of the householder's treasure?

Matthew 13:
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?”

They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

52 Then He said to them, “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”

You may be looking so closely at the trees, you can't see the forest. It is plain as day.

Yes I am fully aware of the Mosaic Covenant and the Abrahamic Covenant. The Mosaic Covenant was an extension of the Abrahamic Covenant spelling out how the Covenant would fully work within the Hebrew children. So circumcision and the sabbath are both signs of the Old Covenant. Notice too that circumcision is the sign of the old covenant that is discussed in the new testament. That is the one that Paul keeps referring back to in multiple epistles to give the comparison from the way things were to the way things are.

Really, perhaps it is you who is complicating things because you certainly are not the plain things that Jesus spoke. You have allowed the trees to grow around and thereby creating your own forest that you cannot see through.
