640 signs of the covenant

 

Scripture: HEBREWS 13

 

SYNOPSIS: What is a covenant? What is a biblical sign? How do you show that you are really a follower of Messiah and of His Father? In this Shabbat teaching we are going to be looking at covenants. We are going to be studying personal covenants and community covenants. We are going to look at friendship covenants. Most of all we are going to look at signs of the covenant that each person who desires to get into  heaven should observe.

 

THEME 1: ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE BASIS OF BG. We are going to look at four scriptures in the initial part of the teaching. Four scriptures that show beyond a shadow of a doubt. That God is always the same. God does not change. The sign of the new world. And there is nothing new under the sun. The covenant has not been changed or dismantled. Hebrews 13 the same always. MAT 5:18 does not change. Yesha’yahu (ISA) 66 STILL DOING SHABBAT. Koholet (ECC) 1:9 NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

THEME 2: WHAT IS A COVENANT: B’resheet (Gen) 6:9-18 LOFR for the word covenant. B’resheet 21:22-33 Avraham's Covenant With Avimelekh. Y’hoshua (Joshua) 25:15-27 A covenant between the people and Yehovah. 1 Sam18:1-4 David & Jonathan's Covenant Of Friendship

THEME 3: EXAMPLES OF COVENANTS BETWEEN YEHOVAH & INDIVIDUALS. B’midbar (Num) 25:1-13 the personal covenant of Shalom for standing up for the commandments. B’resheet (Gen) 17:1-7 separation and now trust gets a personal covenant. Yesha’yahu (Isa) 42:1-7 a light to am and goyim, Daniel 9:26-27 after 1260 days. D’varim (Deut) 28:1-15 the personal covenant of amazing blessing and curses and it all starts with wholeheartedness

THEME 4: SIGNS OF THE COVENANT YEHOVAH LOOKS FOR IN YOUR LIFE. B’resheet (Gen) 17:10-14 CIRCUMCISION. Sh’mot (Ex) 12:12-14 THE BLOOD Sh’mot (Ex) 31:16-17 The Shabbat. D’varim (Deut) 6:6-9 DOOR / GATES. Vayikra (Lev) 23:1-4 HOLY DAYS. B’resheet (Gen) 1:14. D’varim (Deut) 11:18. Mattiyahu (Mat) 28:19-20 teaching them to obey every sign
