Genesis to Revelation: 15 Critical Scriptures Part 5
Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. Today on Anchored by Truth we are going to continue looking at some of the key scriptures in the Bible that help trace the grand story of creation, fall, and redemption as it proceeds from Genesis to Revelation. Thus far we’ve gone over 8 of the 15 verses that we want to focus on. At this point in our journey we’ve gone past the creation, fall, and flood and we’re working our way through God’s unfolding plan of redemption. And we’ve travelled far enough along the redemptive highway that we’ve seen that God has inaugurated four covenants with specific people and we actually refer to that covenant by their names. These four covenants are the Noahic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, and the Davidic Covenant. RD, would you provide us a brief overview of these four covenants?
RD: Sure. Three of the four covenants, the Noahic, Abrahamic, and Davidic are similar in that they represent times in the history of redemption that God gave unconditional covenants to the recipient and a part of that covenant was that God used the recipient to continue the biological line that would lead to the Messiah, the Anointed One. The fourth covenant, the one with Moses, was not biological but theological. In the Mosaic covenant the Lord codified His expectations for how people were to behave with respect to God and to other people into a formal law. Part of the Mosaic system including a system of sacrifices to atone for the violations that God knew would inevitably come. Also, with the Noahic, Abrahamic, and Davidic covenants promised blessings extended to people beyond just the individual receiving the covenant. In Noah and Abraham’s case God promised that people throughout the earth would also be blessed through the covenant.
VK: One other key fact to point out about the Davidic covenant is that it was by means of this covenant that Jesus, who was the promised Messiah, derived His royal credentials. Because David was the king of Israel when God established this covenant, God committed that one of David’s distant descendants would one day possess a kingdom and a throne that would last forever. We now know that this promised has been fulfilled since after Jesus’ ascension He sat down at the right hand of God where He will rule throughout all eternity. But in our last episode of Anchored by Truth we didn’t stop with the scripture verse that established the Davidic covenant. Our 8th verse had to do with the prophet Daniel being given a vision of all the empires that would rule the region of Palestine between the Babylonian exile and the arrival of the Messiah.
This is episode 283.
