Chapter 19: BOS: Covenants, the 613 Commands, and the Kingdom of God

​Endtime prophecy predicts the establishment of the Kingdom of God. We see the establishment of the Endtime Kingdom of God occur with three primary stages – a polarization of humanity, a return to the Law, and a restoration of Yeshua’s testimony. That being said, we’ll look at the covenants and God’s commands within this context of the establishment of the Endtime Kingdom of God for those who are Born of the Spirit/Born Again.

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

Individual Salvation

Born of the Blood Redemption ​

Born Again Sanctification Born of the Water > Born of the Spirit > Born of God

The Polarization of Humanity
Some eschatologists have suggested that the world entered into a period of transition starting with 2025. Indeed, we are seeing a global transition beginning with the election of Donald Trump. This transition period will polarize humanity. It will either draw us closer to God or away from Him. Moses predicts this transition period – Deu. 30:1.
 
“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,”
 
 
Returning to the Law
Prophecies in the Old Testament predict that some believers will return to the Law during the Endtimes. We see this with Moses’ prophecy and Malachi’s prophecy.
 
Moses Continues
“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;.” – Deu 30:2
 
Return of Elijah
We also see this turning back to the Law with Elijah or God’s Endtime Servant. Elijah is known for turning Israel back to God and His law when he called fire from heaven that consumed the altar’s of Yehovah and Baal. This is the interpretation that we should see in Malachi 4:4-6.
 
“Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
 
John the Baptist
Moreover, we also see John the Baptist commanding Judah to repent and return to the Law.
 
 
Restoring Yeshua’s Testimony
Yeshua expands on Malachi’s prophecy in the New Testament declaring that this Endtime Elijah – God’s Servant - will restore all things or Yeshua’s testimony. (This can’t be John the Baptist – as an “Elijah” - because he didn’t restore all things.) This Endtime Elijah will come first before the return of Messiah to prepare the people to receive their king - Matthew 17:11.
 
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things.”
 
 
Covenants and Commandments
Since we see returning to the Law as a critical aspect of the establishment of the Endtime Kingdom of God, we’ll review the covenants and the Torah commands here for those who are Born of the Spirit/Born Again.
