We just celebrated Shavuot, "The Giving of the Law". It was the time when Yahweh gave the Law to his people. Many covenants that are one Like Yahweh is one (echad)
- Adam - Take care of what I give you, and be fruitful (have children).
- Noah - I will not flood the whole earth again be fruitful and spread out
- Abraham - The Land is yours, and Your decedents would be to many to count.
- Moses - Here is my Laws and Statues
- Yeshua - Right of return
Deuteronomy 29:1-28 talk about the giving of the Law and the dangers of breaking it. Verse 29 is clear as to the secreat thing of Yahweh. "The secret [things belong] unto the LORD (YHVH) our God (Elohim): but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law."
The New Covenant; Did you know it was mentioned twice in the so called "Old Testement" (really it all one testement).
Deuteronomy 30:1-3
"And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2) And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3)That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee."
This is about the new covenant also mention in Jeremiah
Jeremiah 31:31-33
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.
Also in Hebrews
Hebrews 8:8-10
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10)For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
