Lesson Thirteen - Page 4

Here are examples of other Bible Covenants:

The Adamic Covenant: Unconditional. Given after “the fall.” It contains the first promise of the Redeemer. Genesis 3:14-18

God’s Determinate Covenant: with every living thing. Unconditional. It is a divinely given assurance which guarantees against world-wide destruction. It is not to be confused with the covenant with Noah which follows immediately. Genesis 8:20-22

The Covenant with Noah: This is assurance against any world-wide destruction by flood. The rainbow is a token of this covenant. Genesis 9:1-17

The Great Abrahamic Covenant: This is the covenant we spent some time with in the beginning of this lesson. This covenant was made with Abraham after he met certain conditions. This covenant was passed on unconditionally to his descendants as we illustrated in questions 6 - 11. This great promise offered material and spiritual blessings to Israel and through them to the rest of the world. This covenant was to have its ful fillment in the latter days. Genesis 12:1-3,7, 13:14-17, 15:1-6,18, 17:22, 18:17-19, 21:12, 22:1-2, 7-18.

(12) When starvation or natural disaster falls upon different nations, who fulfills Genesis 12:3 by sending food, “Care” packages and other forms of aid?

Willie- “Teacher says we’re here to help others.” Pa- “Of course we are.” Willie- “Well, what are the others here for?”

( ) a. Buddhist Japan. ( ) b. Atheistic Russia.

( ) e. Jewish Palestine. ( ) f. Communist China. ( ) g. Christian America.

( ) c. Black Africa.

( ) d. The oil rich Moslem Arab nations.

The Covenant with Isaac: Unconditional. It embraces all the blessings offered to Abraham plus addition al benefits. Genesis 2:40, 26:3-5, 24

The Covenant with Jacob: Unconditional. All the blessings to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are passed on to Joseph and his descendants. Some say they are to be fulfilled in the Jews in Palestine. Others say they are being fulfilled now in the White Christian race in America, England and other Christian nations. Only one people carry all marks of identification listed in these unconditional covenants. When you take time to study these covenants keep in mind this question of identity. Genesis 27:27-29, 28:3-4, 13, 22, 32:12, 28, 35:1-12, 48:3-4. The Covenant of the Sabbath: Unconditional. Not that there are no conditions laid down, for there are. But the Sabbath was given as an unconditional mark to identify Israel. Although it has been greatly cor rupted as prophesied in Isaiah 58:13-14, and we are paying dearly, the Christian nations still have a nation al day of rest. (13) We call Sunday the first day of the week. We print our calendars with Sunday as the first day of the week. Everyone says Sunday is the first day of the week. But is Sunday really the beginning of the week? If I were to write a letter telling you that I would drop by for a visit this week end, when would you expect me?

( ) Thursday or Friday. ( ) Saturday or Sunday. ( ) Monday or Tuesday.

(14) If I were to write a letter saying, “I will drop by the first of the week,” when would you expect me?

( ) Thursday or Friday. ( ) Saturday or Sunday. ( ) Monday or Tuesday.

In industry most pay periods are calculated from Monday to Sunday. Sunday being the last day of the weekly pay period. You factory workers need only look at your pay stub to verify this.
