The Covenant

004 The Covenant

In this PodCast we will be discussing the Covenant between God and Israel.

What is the Covenant, who is the Covenant for and why is there a Covenant? Did you know that the Covenant is directly connected through Abraham to the stars and that those stars represent people? How about the New Covenant, did you know that God made a New Covenant with Israel after they broke the first one and that this New Covenant was to write His laws in their hearts and minds? Did you know that there is a Messenger of the Covenant prophesied to come whom Jesus said he would send? The answer to these questions and much more will be revealed in this PodCast.

John the Baptist Day – June 24th

Today, June 24th, is celebrated as St. John the Baptist Day or the Nativity of John the Baptist Day. He came to prepare the way of the Lord! In many countries it is a public holiday, tied to the Midsummer celebration of the season of summer usually held at a date around the Summer Solstice. It has pagan pre-Christian roots in Europe as a ‘good-luck’ goddess, Fortuna, day. But to followers of Christ, John was a per-curser to Christ himself, and a shadow of the Prophet Elijah prophesied to come at the end. He will baptize in the Holy Spirit and in fire! According to Jesus, there is no one greater, born of woman, than John in the Kingdom, except one.

Walk in Agreement with God

To ‘Walk with God’ is to be in agreement with Him. In these troublous times it seems that no one can agree with anyone on anything! Unity in Truth can only be found in the Word of the LORD. Truly, ‘Two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement?’

God has promised to send Messengers who will prepare the Way before Him. Seek His Face and walk with Him in agreement.

‘New Social Contract’ or ‘New Covenant’?

The rulers of this world are forging ahead to establish what they are calling a ‘Great Reset’ with a ‘New Social Contract’. It’s all about economics, employment, and a reset of currencies. The truth is, they know they have not got much time. This Age or time for the world has come to its end. The kingdoms of this world will perish while God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all that is therein, is establishing His Kingdom of Righteousness on Earth, as it is in Heaven with His New Covenant. He has a reset scheduled as well. Which one will it be for you?

Circumcision: A Cut to the Heart

Circumcision, like Baptism, has become a tradition, custom or requirement that differentiates greatly between the religions of the world. ‘Jews’ are well known adherents to a physical circumcision as a way to continue the Covenant of Circumcision between Abraham and God. Muslims consider circumcision an act of ‘purification’ and Christians are split on whether a physical circumcision is required. Catholics are against it and Orthodox Christians are for it. Many protestant Christians, like Catholics, see a water Baptism as the replacement or extension of Circumcision, but this approach varies between denominations.

Consider, as well, the discrepancies between government guidance on the issue. In the US, the government has framed circumcision as a health issue. World War II recruits were routinely circumcised. It is still a commonplace procedure for infants prior to leaving the hospital. Many parents support the practice in adherence to government health guidance. In 1965 over 85% of the US population circumcised male infants. That number has been dropping ever since. Meanwhile, several European countries have tried to outright ban the practice. With such a dizzying array of understanding and motivation for circumcision, has anyone actually cut to the heart of what God calls for?

Family Ties: A Special Relationship

There has been a “special relationship” between these two countries since their birth. They represent the two sons of Joseph, son of Israel, Ephraim and Manasseh. Family ties are hard to be broken. These two were born into Egypt in the years of plenty. Their father provided food for everyone in the time of the famine and was greatly admired. Although they’ve had their differences, like brothers, they always settle them and get along with each other in peace. This relationship is now being threatened to come to an end in hostility. It will be a time of Great Tribulation.

A Momentous Occasion – 400-Year Anniversary

It is indeed a momentous occasion for America. Four hundred years ago, on November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims came ashore on land. That is now in Provincetown on Cape Cod. The Pilgrims’ story is a central theme in the history and culture of the United States of America. The Pilgrim Fathers were that band of Puritans who founded the colony of Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.

A pilgrim is defined a person who journeys a long distance to some sacred place as an act of devotion. They were escaping religious persecution and going to the Promised Land.

The Pilgrims Landing

“PROVINCETOWN – The year 1620 is etched in the annals of world history. It is the year a group of English settlers known as the Pilgrims seeking religious freedom boarded their ship, Mayflower. They braved a hazardous trip across the Atlantic Ocean to establish a new home.”

Seeing this date etched in Plymouth Rock is like seeing the writing on the Wall. “Mene, mene, teckel, upharsin” in the time of Daniel spelled the end for the Babylonian king and the end of the Babylonian captivity. It marks an especially important date for the people of God.
