Hidden Wisdom

Covenant Ceremonies | House of Learning | Lesson 4


Listen Later

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore ancient covenant ceremonies and what covenants truly meant in biblical and Israelite culture — far beyond the modern idea of a simple two-way promise.

Using the story of David and Jonathan as a primary archetype, this lesson reveals how ancient covenants involved the merging of identity, shared inheritance, protection, loyalty, sacrifice, and sacred relationship. These covenant patterns illuminate how God relates to humanity and what it means to enter a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why ancient covenants were relational, not contractual
 ✨ How covenant ceremonies symbolized shared identity, strength, and inheritance
 ✨ The spiritual meaning of robes, weapons, and sacred exchanges
 ✨ How covenant blood symbolism points to Christ’s atonement
 ✨ Why God identifies Himself as One who keeps covenant and shows mercy
 ✨ How covenant blessings extend across generations
 ✨ What covenant faithfulness, justice, and mercy look like in real life

This episode also explores the story of the Gibeonites, the seriousness of covenant obligations, and how God honors covenant relationships even across centuries. Viewers are invited to reconsider temple covenants as sacred relationships of transformation rather than mere ritual compliance. 

If you’ve ever wondered what temple covenants truly mean, how God relates to covenant partners, or how ancient practices illuminate modern worship, this lesson provides essential spiritual foundations.
