Davidic Covenant
The Davidic Covenant refers to God’s promises to David through Nathan the prophet and is found in2 Samuel 7 and later summarized in 1 Chronicles 17:11–14 and 2 Chronicles 6:16. This is an unconditional covenant made between God and David through which God promises David and Israel that the Messiah (Jesus Christ) would come from the lineage of David and the tribe of Judah and would establish a kingdom that would endure forever. The Davidic Covenant is unconditional because God does not place any conditions of obedience upon its fulfillment. The surety of the promises made rests solely on God’s faithfulness and does not depend at all on David or Israel’s

    Comparing The Holy Bible: Covenant, Sphere Sovereignty, And Social Justice

    The Bible supports social justice, as we have a covenant with God because “if he would do that us then we had better do that with one another” (Fischer, 2013) and look out for one another and become accountable to each other. That is one reason that government must be limited in the amount of power they yield on making policy or decisions that will affect a person’s inalienable rights of having the ability to make their own choices as to what they feel is best for themselves. In using a form of Sphere Sovereignty, “Citizens are required to participate in the political process as a means of limiting tyranny” (Fischer, 2013, p.2) and to contribute to solving the problems. There has to be limits on the powers on government as they “ought not impose a uniform policy on all” (Monsma, 2008 p.119) as there would then be no true covenant relationship as they would not be doing what is best or fair to all, as we all have the same inalienable rights. Leviticus 24:22 “You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” (Holy Bible, ESV).…

    Notes on Dispensationalism

    The covenant theologian sees God’s revelation and man’s history as an outworking of God’s redemptive purposes for mankind, especially through Israel. It adopts the word “covenant” from the Bible but uses it in a different time framework than those covenants recorded through the Old and New Testaments. It chooses, overall, a less literal approach to Scripture interpretation, especially prophecy, and makes no clear distinction between the Israel of the Old Testament and the church of the New Testament. A modern modification is New Covenant Theology, which makes a complete disjunction between the old covenant and the new covenant. There is a modification of covenant theology based on the kingdom and its relationship to the covenants; this seeks to be a bridge between covenant and dispensational theology.…

    The Algiers Covenant

    The Lausanne Covenant starts out with the purpose of God, “who governs all things according to the purpose of his will” (page 1). It next states their position on the authority and power of the Bible, “We affirm the divine inspirations, truthfulness and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice” (page 2). Next is the uniqueness and universality of Christ, “We affirm that there is only one Savior and only one gospel” (page 2). Next they touch on the nature of evangelism, “To evangelize is to spread the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead according to the Scriptures,…

    Final Paper

    The Old Testament ending leaves the reader very unsatisfied as the resolution to much of the issues, suffering and discomfort of God’s people was not resolved. It is not until the death of Christ in the New Testament that the reader can understand the significance of God’s sovereignty in these times of seemingly unfulfilled promises. Most of the Old Testament covenants that remained unfulfilled or only partially fulfilled were those in regards to David. In the book of Jeremiah it is written: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely.” (23:5-6). David is promised that from his line a king will reign over all people. David is also promised that the Messiah would come from his line so it is understandable why the Jews living around Jesus were so shocked to discover that he would not be overthrowing…

    The Half Way Covenant

    The Halfway Covenant was a form of partial church membership created by New England Puritans in 1662. It was promoted in particular by the Reverend Solomon Stoddard, who felt that the people of the English colonies were drifting away from their original religious purpose. First-generation settlers were beginning to die out, while their children and grandchildren often expressed less religious piety, and more desire for material wealth.…

    Essay On Ancient Egyptian Religion

    Hebrew religion consisted of a single omnipotent god, Yahweh, while the Mesopotamians and Egyptians had multiple gods who each controlled their own section in nature. This means that the Hebrews only had to follow orders from one god, whereas Mesopotamians and Egyptians had to work hard to keep all of the gods happy. If what one god’s orders conflicted with another god’s orders, the people were forced to take sides, and unity would break. This could cause disputes amongst the two sides, and war could potentially break out. Alongside monotheism, the covenant also plays a major role in the structure of Hebrew religion. It is a pact that Abraham made with Yahweh, which both Yahweh and the Hebrew people had to follow. In exchange for land, a great nation, and guidance, the people had to worship Yahweh as their only god. This covenant keeps the Hebrews united, all following one god and one message, instead of listening to a whole pantheon of gods, all with different…

    The covenant of Madinah

    The covenant of Madinah that was established by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) him self was the first of its kind in history. Justly, and faithfully this constitution reflected pluralistic views like never before. The Prophet (PBUH) created a pact that treated all the civilians equally. This constitution created stability, safety and last but least it created a community. Looking at this remarkable trademark that the Prophet (PBUH) created, is just a small percentage that gives you a sense that this man had god with him through all the steps he took to achieve what wasn’t imagined off those days.…
