Hello @GerhardEbersehn,
I am sorry to have caused you such consternation. There is only one point that I feel it necessary to comment on and that is, reply#173, concerning the absence of the word, 'everlasting' in relation to the covenant made by God, with Israel, at Sinai.
* The covenants which are called, 'everlasting covenants' in the Old Testament were made with :-
- Noah - Genesis 9:9-17
- Abraham - Genesis 17:1-8; Genesis 17:9-14; 1 Chronicles 16:7-18
- Israel - Leviticus 24:5-8
- David - 2 Samuel 23:1-5 - (broken in Isaiah 24:5; Repeated in Isaiah 55:3; Repeated in Isaiah 61:8
- Israel (regathered from Babylon) - Jeremiah 32:40
- Israel (in line with Leviticus 26:42) - Ezekiel 16:60
- houses of Israel and Judah (rejoined) - Ezekiel 37:26
* Where the word 'everlasting' is not in evidence, the context makes it plain.
* The Old Covenant made at Sinai, which the New Covenant will replace, was not spoken of as everlasting.
Thank you
Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
Our Lord and Head.
