The 5 Jewish
Covenants – Part 2 (Davidic, New)
Simple Bible Timeline of the 5 Jewish Covenants
4) The Davidic Covenant - Amplifies the Nation Promise of the
Abrahamic Covenant, Unconditional
a. Background Is David’s Desire to Build the Temple
2 Samuel 7:1-11.
And it came to pass,
when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him
rest round about from all his enemies; 2 that the king said
unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of
cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. 3 And
Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart;
for the Lord is with thee.4 And it came to pass that night,
that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, 5 Go and
tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build
me an house for me to dwell in? 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in
any house since the time that I brought up the children of
Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a
tent and in a tabernacle. 7 In all the places wherein I have
walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any
of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people
Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? 8 Now
therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith
the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from
following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
... 11b Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an
house.
b. 2 Samuel - House, Kingdom, Throne of Solomon
(House=Dynasty, Kingdom=Nation, Throne=Kingship), Eternal
2 Samuel 7:11b-16.
Also the Lord telleth
thee that he will make thee an house. 12 And when thy
days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I
will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of
thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He
shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the
throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his father,
and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten
him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children
of men: 15 but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I
took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 16 And thine
house and thy kingdom shall be established for
ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for
ever.
c. 1 Chronicles - House, Kingdom, Throne of Messiah, Eternal
1 Chronicles 17:1-2,10b-15.
Furthermore
I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house. 11
And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou
must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed
after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his
kingdom. 12 He shall build me an house, and I will
stablish his throne for ever. 13 I will be his father,
and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from
him, as I took it from him that was before thee: 14 but I will
settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for
ever: and his throne shall be established for
evermore.
d. The Kingdom Will Be the Kingdom of the God of Heaven
Daniel 2:44.
And in the days of these
kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall
never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
e. David Will Be King Over Israel
Jeremiah 30:9.
They shall serve the Lord
their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto
them.
f. Nothing can Prevent These Things From Happening
Jeremiah 33:14-26.
Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing
which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the
house of Judah. 15 In those days, and at that time, will I
cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and
he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. ...
17 For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to
sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18 neither shall
the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt
offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice
continually. 19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah,
saying, 20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of
the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should
not be day and night in their season; 21 then may also my
covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not
have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the
priests, my ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be
numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I
multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that
minister unto me. ... 25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant
be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the
ordinances of heaven and earth; 26 then will I cast away the
seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take
any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and
have mercy on them.
5) The New Covenant - Amplifies the Blessing Promise of the
Abrahamic Covenant, Unconditional
a. The New Covenant Is Future To Jeremiah
Jeremiah 31:31.
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.
b. It Is Different From the
Mosaic Covenant, The Law, Because It Will Be Unconditional
Jeremiah 31:31.
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
c. Israel Did Not Keep The Law
Jeremiah 31:31.
... which my
covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them,
saith the Lord.
d. There Will Be a National
Regeneration
Jeremiah 31:31.
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.
e. This National Regeneration Will Occur In the Future When
All Nations Lay Seige To Jerusalem
Zechariah 12:1, 9-13:1, 14:2-3.
Behold,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people
round about, when they shall be in the siege both against
Judah and against Jerusalem. ... 9 And it shall come to pass
in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations
that come against Jerusalem. 10 And I will pour upon the house
of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of
grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom
they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one
mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him,
as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 11 In that day
shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning
of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12 And the land
shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house
of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of
the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 13
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives
apart; the family of Shimei (Shammua?) apart, and
their wives apart; 14 all the families that remain, every
family apart, and their wives apart. 13:1 In that day there
shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. ... 14:2
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the
city. 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his
feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives
shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward
the west, and there shall be a very great valley.
f. This National Regeneration Will Be Corporate Like Nineveh’s
But Different In That It Will Be Genuine For Every Person and
Result in Recieving the Spirit of God.
Jonah 3:4-10.
And Jonah began to enter into the
city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 So the people of Nineveh
believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth,
from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For
word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his
throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with
sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be
proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the
king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd
nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink
water: 8 but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and
cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his
evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who
can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his
fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works,
that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the
evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did
it not.
g. A Prayer For National Regeneration
Psalm 80:1-19.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest
between the cherubims, shine forth. 2 Before Ephraim and
Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save
us. 3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved. ... 17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy
right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for
thyself. 18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and
we will call upon thy name. 19 Turn us again, O Lord God of
hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved
.
h. The National Regeneration Will Result in the People Having
the Spirit of God Come Upon Them
Joel 2:28-32.
And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the
servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out
my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in
the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun
shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before
the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in
Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in
the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
i. Nothing Can Prevent These Things From Happening
Jeremiah 31:35-37.
Thus saith the Lord
, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the
ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,
which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The
Lord of hosts is
his name: 36 if those ordinances depart from
before me, saith the Lord,
then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation
before me for ever. 37 Thus saith the Lord
; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of
the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the
seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
