36 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 4 - Book 3 - Abrahamic Covenant

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 3 ABRAHAMIC COVENANT Genesis 12:1-3 Remember we’re on the second part of this Abrahamic Covenant. Last week I think we pretty well touched a lot of the verses that dealt withthat they would become a great nation of people. Israel says, what? "It’s our land!" God has already done it. Forty miles. All right, let’s go up through Scripture now and pick out some more of the verses with regard to the Land promised. Come over with me to Deuteronomy chapter 30 and let’s start with verse 1. "…the blessings and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whether the LORD thy God hath driven thee." If you ever run into a friend who has a doubt about the veracity of the Word of God, remind them that the living proof that the Bible is true is the Jew, the Nation of Israel. The Jew has been in Russia. Deuteronomy 30:2-3 "And you shall return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all of thy heart, with all thy soul; 3. That then the LORD thy God will turn (or end) your captivity, have compassion on thee and will return and gather thee from the nations whether the LORD thy God hath scattered thee." And then come down to verse 5: Deuteronomy 30:5 "And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the (what’s the next word?) Israel hasn’t reached their place yet, but it’s getting close. Joshua 1:1-2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel." God is giving it to them. Verse 5: Ezekiel 37:5-7 "Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live; 6. Ezekiel 37:10-11a 11. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are (what?) the whole house of Israel:" Oh, in symbolic language, in a symbolic vision, he saw that Israel was out there in those Gentiles nations for hundreds, yes thousands, of years. Nationally dead. But all of a sudden, what’s God going to do? Ezekiel 37:12 "Therefore Prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold O My people, (remember he’s talking to Israel) I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel." Ezekiel 37:14a All right, now then let’s go a little further to Jeremiah 23, and let’s pick up at verse 5: Jeremiah 23:5a "Behold the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and King…" Christ! King." Jeremiah 23:6a "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely:…" Jeremiah 23:7-8 "Therefore, behold, the days come saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8. God said it and don’t you worry for a minute the nations of the world, the United Nation, the Kings and Prime Ministers can peace talk all they want – Israel is going to end up in her own land! God has His thumb on them. And God doesn’t sanction much of what they’re doing but nevertheless, they are His Covenant People and I think a lot of times people think, well if they’re the people of God, why don’t they behave like it? Well, listen they’re the people of God only by virtue of the Covenants as yet, but, when Israel becomes all that God wants them to be, as it says in chapter 31. Jeremiah 31:31a Jeremiah 31:31 The Abrahamic Covenant is still going to be fulfilled. She’s going to be a nation of people, living within their geographical area, with a super, super government – God Himself in the person of Christ the Messiah, their King and when that has become a full reality, now look at Israel’s spiritual condition. Jeremiah 31:32a What covenant was that? Law. Jeremiah 31:32b-33 "…which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 31:34a God says, the time is coming they won’t have to do that because they’ll have it inwardly. Never does the Old Testament teach a Jew dying and going to heaven. Never. The Church, the Body of Christ, is a heavenly people with heavenly promises. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
