BOB: The Messianic Covenant

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship


In this review of Born of the Blood, we will look at the Messianic Covenant.  Covenants are the instruments that God uses to define our relationship with Him. The most basic of all covenants is the Messianic Covenant.  Through Yeshua/Jesus' Atonement, Death and Resurrection all Mankind is redeemed from the transgression of Adam and Eve and the resultant eternal physical and spiritual death.  Here we will call this sin by Adam and Eve a "Universal Sin" since all of humanity is subject to it.

​The Messianic Covenant
The Messianic Covenant is a grant covenant. A grant covenant is when the obligation to perform the terms of the covenant is borne by one party or is a unilateral agreement.  Yeshua fulfilled His obligations under the Messianic Covenant through His Atonement, Death and Resurrection. Yeshua, through His Atonement, Death and Resurrection, reversed the consequences of Adam and Eve’s transgression, which brought eternal physical and spiritual death to them and their posterity.  All humanity became subject to this “Universal Sin”.  We see these concepts expressed at 1 Corinthians 15:21,22.

“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

​Three Types of Sin
In the scriptures, we see three types of sin – Universal Sin, Personal Sin and Inherited Sin. Those who take upon them name of Messiah as their savior are redeemed from “Universal Sin”.

​Universal Sin and Redemption
Redemption from Universal Sin has both a physical and spiritual component.
 
Physical Salvation
As we saw in the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians, all men will be saved from physical death or resurrected. This physical salvation came because of Yeshua’s death and resurrection.
 
Spiritual Salvation
All men, also, receive the Light of Messiah that helps them to know right from wrong, which occurs with feelings and thoughts of guilt – John 1:9. Those who respond to the Light of Messiah receive the influence of the Holy Spirit but not the presence of the Son or the Father in eternity. For those who don’t respond to the Messiah’s Light in mortality and commit wrongful acts, they will suffer commensurate with their wrongful actions in hell until they are resurrected. Moreover, we can link the Noahide Laws to Light of Messiah.
 
Finally, as we saw in the last chapter, that through Yeshua's Atonement, God will compensate for all of the wrongful and unjust injuries to humanity.



​Yeshua’s Nail Prints – the Covenant Sign
All of God's covenants have a covenant sign, which is an ongoing witness that we are actively in a covenant with God.  For instance, the sign of the Sinai Covenant is the seventh-day sabbath. Here, with the Messianic Covenant, the covenant sign is the nail prints in Yeshua's hands and feet

​Receiving the Presence of the Son
Since God is just, those who respond to the Messiah’s Light in mortality will receive an opportunity to accept the conditions to receive the presence of the Son in the spirit realm before the resurrection – 1 Peter 3:18,19.
