The Messiah Will Establish a New Covenant, a New Testament

The Messiah will make a New Testament (Covenant) 

Jeremiah 31:31-33 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-- "not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Matt 26:28 "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Key Points:

- The Lord made a clear promise in the Old Testament of a New Covenant (Testament).

- When he says "the days are coming" it refers to the day of the Lord and when he says "after those days" he is speaking of the end of days.

- Jeremiah was known as "the weeping prophet" and was comforted with this promise.

- The old covenant was written on stone, the new one is written on the heart.

- The Lord reveals that the New Covenant would be for the house of Israel and Judah, not like the old covenant but "after those days" He would write the Law inside them.

- The writer of Hebrews reveals that this Scripture in Jeremiah is pointing to the new covenant that was poured out upon the Church at Pentecost, and also upon the nation of Israel during the time of the Second Coming of Christ and of the Millennium.

- The Jews celebrated the pouring out of the Holy Spirit during the kingdom during the feast of Tabernacles on the "great day" when they poured water on the Temple pavement.

- Hebrew 8-10 speak in detail of the old covenant laws and rituals that were passing away.

- In the old covenant when the law was broken there was a sacrifice that would be given on behalf of the guilty sinner, under the new covenant the one sacrifice, Jesus, cleanses all men of all sins to those who put their trust in Him.

- Under the old covenant the law was a curse, and its power was death. Under the new covenant the law is written on the inside and the power of sin and death are broken.

Jeremiah 31:31-33 in the Hebrew transliteration: hiNëh yämiym Bäiym n'um-y'hwäh w'khäraTiy et-Bëyt yis'räël w'et-Bëyt y'hûdäh B'riyt chádäshäh

Jeremiah here speaks of a new covenant, a new relationship with God, a declaration of a new relationship with God and God says, the days are coming, and I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel in the House of Judah and it won't be the covenant I had, it won't be the contract I made with their fathers in the day I held their hand and took him out of Egypt, because this covenant, they broke, this covenant that I will make now, I will give my words in their minds, and I will write it on their hearts, and I will be their God and they will be my people. God is not content with the current situation or the current relationship he has with his people, he feels betrayed by the Hebrews for some reason and he desires to start an open page and he even says, "baalti" like I was their husband, he says, this relationship is not working. We need to open a new page and this page has to be different, and this page I will make a covenant, but not like the last time I gave you 10 commandments on stone, which you have to learn. This time, my covenant with you, I will write on your hearts and you will know it in your mind. I will be your God and you will be my people. In a way, God is talking about other people.

Somebody else is going to join this pact, this new covenant will be something that will surround or will encompass more of his people. And in Matthew 26:28, Matthew says, Jesus says, "for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins". Meaning Jesus took the responsibility of taking this verse in Jeremiah, this prophecy, Jeremiah existed 700 years before, and he's making a declaration that now a new covenant with God is made, a true covenant and a different covenant by nature, in the meal he has with his disciples and followers. So Jeremiah's prophecy from 700 BC, or around 700 BC, takes a valid human nature, when Jesus proclaimed that now a new covenant is being made with God.

Jesus took the responsibility of making a clear cut between past and future. Jesus took the responsibility of expanding God's kingdomship and we see the New Testament is the new covenant between the gentiles and God, something that was never made, up to Jesus' coming to the world, Jesus took God and brought him to the nations making a new pact with God, but not a pact that only affects the Jews or the Hebrews, but a pact that effects the whole world, a new covenant with the entire world. A New Testament for the entire world, making past and future into one.
