The Three Great Covenants, Part 1

Comments 0 Comment

A covenant is a ratified, unalterable agreement. God has made many covenants with man. (Gen 6:18; Jer 33:20 and etc.)  Three, however, stand out very prominently, as in them have been bound up all the best interests of mankind. FIRST: The Covenant of God to Abraham. This covenant seems to comprehend and include a blessing on the natural fleshly descendants, as well as upon the higher, spiritual, seed, “which seed is Christ; and if ye be Christ’s (body), then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs…

Again, we have found the word to teach that the Jewish age was given as a pattern, or shadow, or illustration of the Gospel age, and we have found it so. The latter being on a higher plane than the former, but otherwise its exact counterpart. It was 1840½ years from the beginning of the age to their harvest when Jesus was present in the flesh to that fleshly house. And it was 1841½ years from the commencement of our Gospel age at Pentecost…

W. Now we will glance hurriedly at some of the evidences that we are NOW in “the days of the Son of Man.” I will not attempt to prove the points of time. Q. I have followed you so far, and can agree with your position fully, but when you come to prove that Jesus is now present and ask me to believe it without any sight evidence, I am afraid I have not strong enough faith to believe it. W….

“THIS SAME JESUS SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER.” Q. Now with regard to Jesus’ second coming, does not this text, ‘You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven’ Acts 1:11, teach that when he comes, he will be seen by his watching disciples? Will he not appear in the flesh to prove…

Q. If Jesus after his resurrection was a glorious spiritual body, how was it that the disciples never saw his glorious body? Why did he appear to them as he had done before his death? W. If Jesus had appeared to them and shown his glory, they would probably have been so alarmed as to be unable to receive instructions; besides if they had gone forth saying the Lord arose and appeared to us in glory, they would have been…

A dialogue between brethren. Questioner. – It is some time since we have had a talk together Brother W., and I have called now to make a few inquiries.

You are aware, I presume, that I and all true Bible…

At what point will the Spirit’s work for Christians be complete? We answer, not until we are born of the Spirit. Our Head – the Lord Jesus Christ – was born of the Spirit more than 2000 years ago, and we as members of His body must and will follow Him into the same life, and by the same power of the Holy Spirit. The birth of the Head secures the birth of the body in due time. If as some claim…

P. 42 – “Angels, or spiritual beings have the power to appear in different forms…. Hence, fallen angels can appear in the form and character of any person they choose to represent, as easily as Christ could appear as a gardener, stranger, or with pierced hands and side. It is useless to deny their wonderful developments. And that they do now materialize themselves and appear in actual likeness of the person they choose to represent, is placed beyond all reasonable…

That the Jews will remember and turn unto the Lord, after their restoration, is clearly taught in both Old and New Testament prophecies. The Hebrew word translated heathen; like the Greek word rendered Gentile, means nation. “But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went….And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen nations shall know that…

“For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? Rom 11:15 Bible students of the past, as well as those of the present day, have noticed that the dispersion, and ultimate restoration of the Jewish nation – literal Israel – is the subject of considerable portions of both old and New Testament prophecies. As prophecy cannot be understood with any great degree of clearness until about the time of its fulfillment;…
