A “covenant” is an
agreement or contract
between two or more par
ties.
From Exodus 19:5-8
we learn that Jehovah
through Moses outlined
to the people his demands,
and promised that if
they would meet these
demands they would be
his “own possession from
among all people”; and
“All that Jehovah hath
spoken will we do.”
This is plainly a
covenant, a contract,
between Jehovah and the
people, but the people at

that time did not know
the specific things which
Jehovah would require of
them—they knew only
that he expected them to
obey his voice and keep
his covenant. The details
of the covenant were
made known to them.
Two Covenants
We speak of the “Two
Covenants” byway of
contrast, for there were
others. The two great
covenants, sometimes
called “testaments,”
were the outgrowth of
two promises made to
Abraham in Genesis 12:1-
3, the first of which reads

congratulations remarks.
The affair was hosted
by the Thompson

those receiving little or no
public assistance.
The church is urging its
members and friends to
donate food, clothing
and toys to the church at
1252 Wrightsboro Road,
from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and from 2 p.m. to 5
p.m. on Dec. 17, Dec. 19

Individuals who need
food, clothing, and toys
can pick up items at the
church from 9:30 a.m. to
as follows: “And I will
make of thee a great
nation, and I will bless
thee, and make thy name
great; and be thou a
blessing and I will bless
them that bless thee, and
him that curseth thee will
I curse.”
First Covenant. The
first covenant was based
on the foregoing promise,
and related to the fleshly
descendant of Abraham,
and contained the seed of
all God’s dealings with
them.
To fulfill this promise,

necessary:
1. To give Abraham a
numerous posterity—“l
will multiply their seed as
the stars of the heavens,
and as the sand which is
upon the seashore” (Gen.
22:17).
2. To keep them
separate. To this end God
gave them the covenant
of circumcision (Gen. 17)
and prohibited inter
marriages with other
nations.
3. For them to have a
country in which to live,
and develop as a nation;
hence, God gave them the
land of Canaan (Gen.
17:8).
4. For them to have
laws or a government. No
nation can develop and

life. Without the
elevating influences of a
pure and holy religion a
nation will degenerate til
it becomes a curse to it

For these reasons
provisions were made in
the law of Moses of wor

regulations, both secular
and religious, were given
at Mount Sinai, through
Moses, and constitute
what we call the First

Jehovah, and all the or

which the people replied,
“All the words which
Jehovah hath spoken we
will do, and be obedient”
(Ex. 24:7).
Then Moses “took the
blood of the calves and
the goats, with water and
scarlet wool and hyssop,
and sprinkled both the
book itself and all the
people, saying, This is the
blood of the covenant
which God commanded
to you-ward” (Heb. 9:19;
Ex. 24:7,8). Thus the
covenant was ratified and
sealed. This covenant
Paul calls the “first
covenant” (Heb. 8:7;
9:1,18).
The Promise to Abraham
We have abundant
evidence that Jehovah
never intended that this
first covenant should be
final. In fact during its
existence the way was
being prepared for the
second.
There were types and
prophecies looking for
ward to better things.
These better things, the
