The old covenant.(contained
within the Old
Testament part of the Holy Bible).involved
physical blessings for physical obedience:.Leviticus
26:3-7.
In the Old Testament the
Creator spoke it in their ears way back when.(Deuteronomy
5:1).as
it could not come into them and through to their
heart.(Deuteronomy
5:29; Ezekiel 18:31,32;
Hosea
7:14-16).and.(?).
The heart of those in the
Old Testament was not
what it could be in New Testament times.
The Creator can change one's
heart, but usually never overrides
one's heart unless there is a greater reason to do so, as there was in
the life of ancient King Saul of the Old Testament.(1Samuel
10:6,9; 12:6).and
Paul in the New Testament. Apart from that God gave
us free choice, unless we were created to be in the category of those
to be of evil, such as was the blood line of
Esau and this was part of the great plan of God now playing out on
this stage called Earth. Those of the cabal
have come out of this bloodline and have hidden their history from us,
submerging themselves among others in order to remain undetectable. They
have now been detected. The cabal has also hidden truths of so many other
things, such as the full
Bible
and the way to health.
God could have made
each of us perfect as He did the angels at the beginning.(Ezekiel
28:14,15), but all beings have
the freedom to be curious
and inventive.(Ecclesiastes
7:29), having freedom to learn
and choose and
some
angels.chose
to leave God. If God had made humanity perfect, the opportunity to excel
in character would not have been there, nor would the opportunity for a
particular
reward for each of us. Humanity would have lacked the opportunity to gain
a solid eternal reward. So, humanity, though
created
good, came with a low consciousness nature which begins
to evidence itself about the age of 2-3. This is so we would learn
what produces ultimate
good, as opposed to the selfish temporary things we may think are good
for us:.Proverbs
14:12. And in this, parents play the major part when a child is young.
In Old Testament times, those
of humanity had strong reasons to remain close to God, as good people had
many enemies, including the thinking of those around them:.Jeremiah
44:16,17.
Some of these evil ones were
of mankind
genetics to a greater or lesser degree.
Though the people of humanity
back then agreed to the terms.(*).of
this old covenant.(a
covenant is an agreement), there was
a problem; they just didn't
have the heart to change which would lead them to believe:.Psalms
81:11-13. And this because the overall plan
of God wasn't ready for them. But for those having the gift
of belief, it was a different story. Believing
in the true and only God of all creation is important in being
aligned with God, necessary to have an ongoing
good life:.John
10:10. So those not having an affinity
for God were no better off than the mankind ones.
One lesson that came out
of the Old Testament Mosaic Law is that one
can't seek to be righteous by works of the law:.Romans
9:31,32..To
have the heart to believe, one must want his being to have the attitude
of sincere intent to change from the old low consciousness ways to the
higher consciousness ways of God:.Matthew
21:32; 2Chronicles 6:14.
Unlike those of old.(Psalms
53:1-4), Creator-God wants people
who delight in Him, in His ever so good ways:.Psalms
1; Jeremiah 6:10; 9:24.
But people need to be intelligent enough find these things out for themselves,
intelligent enought to see the ways of life and to select the way that's
best for all humanity, including himself.
Some people may come to be
at a point of change quickly. Others may take awhile longer, putting themselves
through more heartaches of life to arrive there. Yet others arrive at change
for selfish reasons and if under pressure to do so, later revert,
as Pharoah's example shows us and yet, it's all the Creator's work in letting
people know that they can trust Him. In Pharaoh's case the Creator constantly
hardened.(*).his
heart. Pharaoh became more obstinate,
requiring many negatives before he recanted,
but he was deceitful in it all allowing insincerity
by reverting
to his usual self:.Exodus
4:21; 5:1,2; 7:3,5;
11:10;
12:29-33;
14:5-7,29-31.
If an individual lacks an
open
mind, he's stuck in the
ego realm.until
someone prays for him or her.and
he or she then begins to have a concern for other than self and this will
lead to developing an intent in them to help others in some way. Because
they, way back when, lacked this attitude of concern for other than self,
they were devoid
of belief, which is an attribute
of love. So hampered
were they in life, they couldn't even wisely regulate themselves:.Romans
13:10. So the Creator, after letting them live by experience for awhile,
had to even give them the heart that would lead
them to believe. Shows how inept
we are without our Maker being part of each of us. That's why
we're here.
The Old
Testament laws were added because the people could not manage themselves
and looked only to themselves.(wanted
to be left alone with their low consciousness ego
way of relating to life:.Jeremiah
44:16,17).with
an eye to religion on the side, much as people do today; live selfishly
all week and sop
it with a little spirituality occasionally.
So the Old Testament rules
were needed to regulate physical life because the people were far from
spiritual in their hearts:.Galatians
3:19. It was soon found out that one can't
write on the heart what was written on stone. It's not any different
today. As a whole, we in society have progressed in many areas but not
spiritually. But there is a
way to fix it that you can do. |
The
new covenant.(basically
contained within the New
Testament part of the.Holy
Bible).is
a better covenant with better
promises. The drastic
difference between the Creator described in the Old Testament part of the
Bible,
compared with His description in the New Testament part, shows that what
we call God, is
an energy that is used according
to attitude; our attitude. In the New Testament one's mind is opened
by God toward a higher consciousness attitude: 1Corinthians
1:9.
In the New Testament it
was different and better.(Romans
8:2,4,5), as predicted in the Old
Testament that it would be:.Ezekiel
11:19; Jeremiah 24:7; 32:39.
The new covenant was ratified
in Christ. It involved the heart.(*),
the spirit, with things before unavailable:.1John
2:20,27:
Hebrews 8:7-10 "For
if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been
sought for the second. For finding fault with them.(Deuteronomy
5:29), he said: Behold, the days
come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant.(the
Creator saw that the old
covenant did no good for the people, so He changed things:.Jeremiah
31:31-33).with
the house of Israel.(the
house of Israel today is a spiritual house, comprised of those with the
higher consciousness of love).and
with the house of Judah.(Judah
was a part of ancient physical Israel, but basically had their own land
as they too were large in numbers),
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because
they continued not in my covenant.(the
old covenant was an external thing based upon one's performance, the people's
righteousness:.Deuteronomy
6:25; the new is based upon Christ's performance, not ours. There was
no peace with God {always a fault to be found} for one under this old covenant).and
I regarded them not, says the Lord. For this is
the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel.after
those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind and
write them in their
hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people."
Hebrews
10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those
days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into
their hearts and in their minds will I write them." Jeremiah
24:7 "And I will give them an heart to know me.(in
old covenant times the words never reached the heart, except for a few
the Creator worked especially with; God in wisdom, of course knew this
as it was all part of a great plan {Ephesians
4:13} on this world stage,
a plan first showing for history how man would become without God in his
heart, thus, showing
need for this), that I am the Lord
and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return
unto me with their whole heart."
