Did you know the Seven Holy Covenants?

[Elias]

THE SEVEN HOLY COVENANTS According to the long and living Ethiopian Tradition, there are Seven Covenants, as enshrined in the Scriptures, that God made with humanity ever since Creation. The first of these Covenants is signified and eternalized by the Matrimony of Adam and Eve (Gen. 2/21-25, Mt. 19/4-6); the second, by the Rainbow of Noah (Gen. 9/8-17); the third, by the Bread and Wine Offering of Melchizedek (Gen. 14/18-20); the fourth, by the Circumcision of Abraham (Gen. 17/1-14); the fifth, by the Ark of Moses (Deut. 5); the sixth, by the Throne of David (2Sam. 7/8-16); the seventh and the last, by the Crucified Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary (Mt. 26/26-29). The Covenants, as described above and each symbolized by real signs, are personified by humble individuals who pleased God with their true love for Him. These persons became unique and parties of their respective Covenants with God following their singular triumphs over great trials of various physical and spiritual dimensions. And these trials were meant to test the truthfulness of their love for God before each one of them actually won His favor to be chosen as a representative party for the specific Divine Covenant. These Seven Holy Covenants constitute ETHIOPIA or THE ETHIOPIAN. In other words, Ethiopia or the Ethiopian is these Seven Covenants, and these Seven Covenants are Ethiopia or the Ethiopian. Devoid of them, or outside the context and realm of these Seven Covenants, there is no Ethiopia nor the Ethiopian. As a matter of fact, the Biblical Testimony or the Truth of the Old and the New Testaments endorses and identifies Ethiopia conclusively as the True Israel, and the Ethiopians as the True Israelites. Hence, the existence of Ethiopia and the life of the Ethiopian are both based on and intertwined by these Seven Covenants. Not only do the religious, the cultural and the social fabrics of the Ethiopians' lives, but also their educational, economic and political principles emanate from these Covenants. This is ETHIOPIANHOOD. The above testimony is spelled out in the book entitled Ethiopia: The Classic Case in greater detail.

Between Denver saying Eve had sex with satan and now this thread saying Israel are black people, I don't know whether I am going to survive Christianity Board Christian Forum.I like the theology and discussions of the seven Spirits of God. It is a body of knowledge which never ceases to grow. My interest in that subject made me curious about this message board. It's a great insight. Wow. But to say that the Israelites are black people is bizarre. :naughty:

Father of all EthiopiansAccording to our Ethiopian Tradition, Melke-Zedeq and N'guse-Salem are dual TITLES each with two combined Ge'ez words whose meaning is: The True King or The Righteous King, and King of Peace or The King of Jerusalem, bestowed upon the Priest of God whose name was "Ethiopis", our First Atsie, i.e. Elect of God, from whose name the designation of "Ethiopia" and Ethiopian" derived. (Ge'ez, claimed to be the dialect of Adam and Eve, is our original and primordial, classical and liturgical language still effectively in use by Ethiopians.)The Three distinguished Melke-Zedeqs mentioned in the Ethiopian Tradition and in Scriptures are: The First One was the contemporary of Noah from whom he, i.e., the First Melke-Zedeq inherited personally the Sacred Heritage of the Holy Covenants that Adam and Eve as well as that which Noah himself had made with God, and who became the first Ethiopian custodian of the same, and the Founder and Sovereign of the City of Jerusalem; The Intermediate One was the contemporary of Abraham by whom the latter (Abraham) was blessed; And The Last and The Eternal one was Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, whose predecessors including the above two were all about whom the Psalmist of Ps. 110 and the Writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews chapters 5-7 related.It is narrated in the Bible that the three sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth along with their respective offspring partitioned the Earth, separated themselves from each other and were dispersed throughout its expanses. This process developed to such an extent that it finally culminated in classifying each one of the three sons of Noah, as the ancestor and father of the branch of humanity whose descendants, in their racial identity and skin colour, became to be known: those of Shem, as Semites and "Reds" or "Yellows", those of Ham, as Hamites and "Blacks", and those of Japheth, as Japhetites and "Whites" respectively. (Gen. 10)While this reality still remains the actual state of affairs of human experiences even today, the Divine Will to preserve the unity of humanity and the assurance of its continuity after Noah was effected by the birth of Ethiopis from the fusion of the selected seeds of the three races through intermarriages of the same. With the nucleus seed of the offspring of Ham united with the seeds of the offspring of Shem and Japheth produced "Ethiopis", the First Melke-Zedeq. Here is the elaborate line and link of the tripartite racial union brought about through the intermarriage that had begotten the unique person named Ethiopis who was destined to be the precursor of Our Lord Jesus Christ, possessing the Three Graces God bestowed upon human beings He created in His Image: Divine Birth, Priesthood and Kingship: On the first lineage, one of the elder sons of Ham married one of the elder daughters of Shem, and begot sons and daughters. On the second lineage, one of the younger sons of Ham married one of the daughters of Japheth, and begot sons and daughters. On the third lineage, the eldest grand son of Ham and Shem married the eldest grand daughter of Ham and Japheth and begot a son. And that son who was begotten from these grand children of two quarters of the seed of Ham, and one quarter of that of Shem and of that of Japheth each, is Ethiopis, the First Melke-Zedeq.Let us all pray for the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit in all our individual lives, professions and ventures.N'bure-Id Ermias Kebbede Welde-Yesus,Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God.
