    “The Mediator and the New Covenant” Part 7

    HOW WE (THE CHURCH) ARE JOINED TO THE TESTATOR The very first difficulty encountered is that we, unlike him, have not perfect bodies that we could give as perfect sacrifices; hence God's arrangement for those who have this sacrificing attitude of mind is that they may be dealt with by the Lord...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 11

    We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students in respects to the Church. Seventh Day Adventist say: The church is God’s family; adopted by Him as children, its members live on the basis of the new covenant. We will not go into detail here on this...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 12

    Will the ancient worthies be in relationship with God during the millennial age? “Yes, the ancient worthies will be in covenant relationship with God through the New Covenant, through the Mediator of the New Covenant, throughout the millennial age; but they will not be in any personal, direct...

    Were the Ancient Worthies on trial for life? “The Ancient Worthies were not on trial for life or death; they were never brought to that condition of intelligent opportunity for eternal life which would make them amenable to a sentence of death. Such a condition of knowledge and opportunity did...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 10

    Now from our previous post we understand that the nation of Israel is to be God’s specially chosen agency through whom the rest of the world may receive restituional blessings, but whom precisely will govern? Who will be the Lord’s earthly representatives, the ones speaking for the Lord...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 9

    How exactly will the other nations who survived Armageddon receive the same blessing as the “holy remnant” of Israel is receiving? “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS (when the earthly phase of the kingdom is established) ten men (representing all other nations of the earth that will...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 8

    As you recall in Part 6 of our study it was suggested that: “Restitution blessings (the restoring of all things, Acts 3:19-21) will begin with the generation living at the time of the inauguration of the Mediator's Kingdom. Who specifically will these consist of? This would encompass all who...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 7

    Heavens first law is order “For as all in Adam die, even so shall all in Christ be made alive, but each one in his own order: Christ the first-fruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming (parousia: presence).” 1 Cor 15:22, 23 As ALL of Adam’s posterity were counted in as sharers in...

    MUST ADAM FIRST BE REDEEMED? Accepting the Scriptural presentation that "By one man's disobedience sin entered into the world, and death as a result of sin, and thus death passed upon all men, for that all are sinners" (Rom. 5:12-19); accepting also the declaration of Scripture, "As by man came...

    BAPTIZED INTO MOSES--BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST If the Church is to be members of the great Mediator, why is not Israel, who was baptized into Moses, (1 Cor. 10:1, 2) thus, made members of the Mediator of the Law Covenant? The Divine arrangement which used Moses, Aaron, the tribe of Levi and all...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 4

    The same expression, "after those days," mentioned in Jeremiah’s prophecy (31:33), occurs in connection with Joel's prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through him the Lord declares the ultimate pouring out of the Divine blessing, the Holy Spirit, upon all flesh; but he informs us...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 3

    "AFTER THOSE DAYS I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT" In Jeremiah 31:33 we read, "After those days," as setting a date for the New Covenant. Why is this? And what "days" must precede the making of the New Covenant? God foretold that if Israel would be faithful he would bless them in every sense of...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 2

    “Hearken again to the Apostle’s discussion of the matter with the Galatians. He says, "This I say, that the [Abrahamic] Covenant, that was confirmed ("previously ratified"--Strong's Lexicon) before of God in Christ, the Law [Covenant], which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot...

    What answer should be given to those who endeavor to "teach" that the Abrahamic Covenant, which had no mediator, was merely a promise on God's part and not a Covenant at all? They claim that God's promise to Abraham was merely a preliminary statement and that the New Covenant was sealed and...

    “A few additional thoughts concerning the Abrahamic Covenant as mentioned in our last post under which the "Seed" is developed. Note this particular statement of Psa 50:5, "Those who have made a covenant with me." Here Jehovah intimates that those who have presented their bodies a living...

    IN Christ Jesus, Part 7

    Our Covenant is: “A Covenant by Sacrifice NOT the New Covenant” From our studies thus far we have learned that the New Covenant is to become fully operational by the close of this Gospel Age, when once the Mediator (the Christ, Head and Body) is made complete, and that it is this covenant under...

    Questions on “The Mediator and the New Covenant”

    The following are some interesting questions asked by a member of the forum in response to our study of the Mediator and the New Covenant. I'm curious as to why you think the new covenant is not already in place? In Reply, The New Covenant cannot go into place (become operative) until the...

    “Behold the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they...

    “The Mediator and the New Covenant” Part 8

    “The Mediator and the New Covenant” Part 6

    We continue once again with our forth question, who specifically is the Mediator? In this study we would like to take a quick look at the “Testator” to see how this is related to the Mediator. Testator: a person who has made a will or given a legacy. “And for this reason he is the Mediator of...
