BOB: The Messianic Covenant

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship

See our page on Spiritual Coaching.

In this review of Born of the Blood, we will look at the Messianic Covenant.  Covenants is the convention 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". But there are two other types of sin we will consider here - Personal and Inherited.

​The Process of Perfection
Our Process of Perfection looks like this:

                                                                     Individual Salvation
                                                                             Born Again
          Born of the Blood > Born of the Water > Keeps the Commandments > Born of God/Spirit

                                                                       Married Exaltation
                                                                     Going Onto Perfection
                           Becoming Perfect > Reaches the Full Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son

The Messianic Covenant
The Messianic Covenant is primarily a grant  covenant. A grant covenant is where 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”. Since all sin is connected to the Fall of Adam and Eve, the Messianic Covenant also covers Personal and Inherited Sin, which we will discuss later.

All of God's covenants have a Covenant Sign, which is an ongoing witness that we are actively in covenant with God.  For instance, the Sign of the Sinai Covenant is the Sabbath. Here, with the Messianic Covenant, the Covenant Sign is the nail prints in Yeshua's hands and feet.

Nail Prints - Sign of the Messianic Covenant

​Universal Sin
As we previously stated, Yeshua’s Atonement, Death and Resurrection reversed Adam and Eve’s transgression and redeemed man from eternal physical and spiritual death.  All who acknowledge Yeshua as the Savior of all humanity partake in this redemption. So our summary table looks like this.​

The Process of Perfection	Universal Sin	Personal Sin	Inherited Sin	Eternal Salvation
The Unjust	Redeemed	.	.	Receives God's Holy Spirit
Born Again	Redeemed	.	.	Receives the Presence of the Son
Going Onto Perfection	Redeemed	.	.	Receives the Presence of the Father

​Personal Sin
Personal Sin are transgressions that we commit for which we bear alone the responsibility and are a result of our individual fallen nature.  Those who become fully Born Again are sanctified; transformed through God’s power; are purged of their fallen nature and overcome Personal Sin.  So now our table looks like this.​

The Process of Perfection	Universal Sin	Personal Sin	Inherited Sin	Eternal Salvation
The Unjust	Redeemed	.	.	Receives God's Holy Spirit
Born Again	Redeemed	Sanctified	.	Receives the Presence of the Son
Going Onto Perfection	​Redeemed	Sanctified	.	Receives the Presence of the Father

​Inherited Sin
Inherited Sin are sins committed by ancestors that cause dysfunctional behaviors or iniquity in future generations.  In the Bible, these are referred to as the “sins of the fathers”, which are past down to future generations - Exodus 34:7.  Those future generations are not responsible for these sins, but must overcome the dysfunctional behaviors/iniquity caused by these sins - Ezekiel 18:19-20.  We can also include here behaviors that are a result of abuse. For those who Go Onto Perfection, who are Exalted and overcome these behaviors, they are “chain-breakers” of these behaviors and purify a lineage.  Now our table looks like this.​

The Process of Perfection	Universal Sin	Personal Sin	Inherited Sin	Eternal Salvation
The Unjust	Redeemed	.	.	Receives God's Holy Spirit
Born Again	Redeemed	Sanctified	.	Receives the Presence of the Son
Going Onto Perfection	Redeemed	Sanctified	Exalted	Receives the Presence of the Father
