What is the New Covenant?

Well-known member
Simply put, it is the Mosaic Covenant fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil., Matthew 5:17.

Here, Jesus declares He came to fulfill the Mosaic Covenant.

Jeremiah prophesies a New Covenant, but he does not describe anything about this covenant other than this:

31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, That I will make a new covenant With the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; Which my covenant they brake, Although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: For they shall all know me, From the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: For I will forgive their iniquity, And I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:31–34.

#1. The New Covenant will not be like or according to the [Mosaic] covenant God made after He took them "by the hand" out of Egypt.

#2. The New Covenant will be recognized by the sending of His Spirit (which He Promised to Israel ONLY - Joel 2:28-32), which, if you understand the type and shadow that is the Mosaic Covenant clearly identifies the Law of Moses as type and shadow of the Holy Spirit whom God Promised to put in their (Israel's) inward parts.

#3. The New Covenant declares the Israel will be God's people, and God will be the God of Israel. There is no mention of Gentiles in this covenant.)

#4. The New Covenant will evidence that no more will Israel say to others among the tribes ("his neighbor") to "know the Lord" because the indwelling Holy Spirit will make that knowledge known to every member of the twelve tribes of Israel. It is an intimate knowledge of Person to person from the greatest of them to the least of them.

#5. The New Covenant includes the provision that God will forgive all their (Israel's) iniquities and remember their (Israel's) sin no more (speaking of the doctrine of justification and sanctification.)

Jeremiah prophesies to Israel as did all the prophets God sent to His people. This prophesy of a New Covenant is addressed to the twelve tribes of Israel. There are no Gentiles mentioned or named in this covenant.

Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses and at the last Passover Jesus institutes a new covenant in His body and in His blood. This He does to and for His covenant people Israel. Jesus Christ, the Prophet like unto Moses, is Promised to the children of Israel. John declares that the Lamb of God "appeared" and was "manifest to (and for) Israel:

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. John 1:31.

The angel Gabriel declares that the child she will bear will save "His people from their sins" (His people being the children of Israel.)

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21.

Jesus Christ Himself declares the scope of the salvation He came to provide to the children of Israel:

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24.

This salvation Jesus brought with Him, a salvation in which God will forgive the iniquities of the children of Israel and remember their sins no more in wrapped up in Jesus Christ fulfilling the Law of Moses in which a lamb is slain for the sins of the children of Israel. This lamb God sent to die for the sins of the children of Israel. This New Covenant began on the Day of the Feast of Harvest when three thousand Jews were born-again, and the Church Christ Promised to build was first and lastly populated by Jews on the day. Acts 2:47 states that Christ added to His Church [thousands] daily such as should be saved. The scope of this atonement by the Lamb of God was to atone for the sins of the children of Israel, a people who are ordained by God to salvation through covenant promises to saved beginning with Abraham, continuing with Moses, and fulfilled by Jesus Christ, and since that day is applied at their appointed times tpo and for the children of Israel.

Everything in Scripture points to God's Chosen people Israel who are the seed of Abraham. So, the New Covenant is only the Mosaic Covenant fulfilled by Jesus Christ. There are no non-Hebrew Gentiles in any of the three Hebrew Covenants. None.

All He desires and which He has been

Q: What did Jesus Christ do with regard to the Law of Moses and the Ceremonial requirement set by God concerning the sacrifice of an animal by which He would pardon His people of their sin, the very thing that Jeremiah said would occur in God forgiving their iniquities and remembering their sin no more?

A: Jesus Christ was identified by John the Baptist who would take away the sins of the Hebrew people, His people (Matt. 1:21), through His sacrifice on a cross as foreshadowed by the lifting up the "detestable thing" on a pole by Moses which was a serpent that if the covenant people would upon to would be healed of their sins.

Jesus Christ Himself states that it would be His body and His blood in which the New Covenant would be established.

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matt. 26:26–28.

Can anyone deny this is the case? What Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God did, was sacrifice Himself that cleared the way for God to forgive their (Israel's) iniquities thus establishing the New Covenant in His body and blood as says the Scripture?

For many months I have challenged anyone to provide from the Hebrew Scripture any passage that includes non-Hebrew Gentiles in the Abraham Covenant where that covenant was established by God with Abraham in Genesis 12, 15, and 17, and no one has been able to do this. The reason why is because there is no such covenant in the Hebrew Scripture in Genesis 12, 15, and 17 where the Abraham Covenant was recorded and made that teaches an inclusion of non-Hebrews in the Hebrew Covenant. So, absent the Scripture of non-Hebrew inclusion into the Abraham Covenant then the conclusion can only be made that God made no covenant with non-Hebrews in the Hebrew Scripture. If there is no Old Testament precedent, then there can be no New Testament reality. Type and shadow. From the Tabernacle and all its implements within its walls to the actual fulfilling of every shadow represented in the Tabernacle, Jesus Christ came and was the reality of its prophetic design, from the candlestick to being the Light of the world, to the shewbread and Christ being the Bread of Life, there is only One Person who fulfilled perfectly the type and shadow of the very existence of the Tabernacle and all its implements to a tee.
God required a sacrifice, and God provided that sacrifice:

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:5–10.

The New Covenant is established by the Son, and the New Covenant is applied by the Holy Spirit baptizing everyone named in the book of life into the body of Christ.
 
Addressing the OP,
when a contract is fulfilled then it's NO MORE. Hebrews 7:11 "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?" Hebrews 7:12 "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." and what change is that? Hebrews 8:13 "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."

Hebrews 7:18 "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof." Hebrews 7:19 "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God." Hebrews 7:20 "And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:" Hebrews 7:21 "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)" Hebrews 7:22 "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."

It is "ready to vanish away" but it hasn't yet because the Law still applies to Israel. As a matter of fact Jesus directed Jews to obey the Law of Moses, and that born-again Jews were justified as having obeyed every aspect of the Law when they became born-again which is today true as it was in the past. If the Law "vanished" or was "abolished" why does Saul instruct born-again Jews to obey the Law of Moses in his letter to Timothy? He said, "All Scripture - the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets - are inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine, etc...

God uses the Law to lead His people the Jews to Christ and if the Law was "vanished" or "abolished" then God cannot lead Jews to Christ. It's that simple.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Ga 3:23–24.

It's that simple.

no, only to the GOATS, for one will be JUDGE by the Law if not in CHRIST JESUS. sorry... :mad: YIKES, listen, Romans 2:12 "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;" Romans 2:13 "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." Romans 2:14 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:" Romans 2:15 "Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" Romans 2:16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

now if you're RIGHTIOUS, then there is no Law for US who are in Christ Jesus. Listen, 1 Timothy 1:9 "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers," 1 Timothy 1:10 "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"

so, are you saying Israel falls into these categories?

Israel is confined to their Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, it all applies to them.

Nope, but this is the weakest excuse you gave to date, and it's to IGNORANT to address. but from Genesis to Revelation is for all people.

now, if you cannot produce substantial scripture to the discussion, do not reply. for a discussion is for those who are on meat, and not on milk.

I'm not going to do your bible study. It's all there in Scripture. If you are honest with Scripture, you will give God the credit for the things He built. Oh, and He also built the universe and everything in it.

I know there was the Word and the Lamb before God created heaven, earth, and man, and that it was the Word and the Lamb who created all things, even the reprobate for destruction.
Rev, 13: 8; Romans 9:21ff.

(smile), do you understand prophecy? a lamb is a creation of God, (WHICH WAS TO COME) ... hello ...... do 101G need to say anything else? THINK man.

my God, it's just unbelievable how this generation is so ignorant, and on top of that supposed to be God's people ..... how can this be. Oh well,

yes, very IGNORANT, because the Word and the Lamb is the same one PERSON, personified in "TIME", "PLACE", ORDER", and "RANK", just as the Hebrew term "beginning" clearly states, Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Beginning: H7225 רֵאשִׁית re'shiyth (ray-sheeth') n-f.
1. the first, in place, time, order or rank.
2. (specifically) a firstfruit.
[from the same as H7218]
KJV: beginning, chief(-est), first(-fruits, part, time), principal thing.
Root(s): H7218

definition #1 is what you're IGNORANT of.
