Eve (rib) was taken from the body of the first Adam to be prepared and presented as a Bride to take dominion together.
Why does is the Church world keep separating the Jew and the Gentile in to two separate Covenants?
The Covenants
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There are several covenants that God made with the forefather's (Rom.11:28, 15:8, 1Cor.10:1-3) which are all
incorporated and confirmed in their reality (fulfillment in Christ(Dan.9:27, Gal.3:1-29 NOTE:v.16-17, Matt.5:17-19)
into the New Covenant. When Paul wrote, "to them pertaineth (pertains) the covenants" (Rom.9:4) he was saying that they (the Jews / Daniel's people) were given the covenants firstto bring them to Christ. (Rom.9:1-5; 1o:1,9,13; 11:14,26, Gal.3:24) WhenJESUS / MESSIAH / THE WORD MADE FLESH (John.1:1-14) came, He came unto His own (The House
of Judah / Jews) to "confirm the promises[0] made to the fathers" (Rom.15:8, Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-5) which includes the Jew and the Gentile together as one new man according to the "the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ" (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)"To the intent (purpose) that [in order that, so that] now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the Church[0](Matt.16:18, John.2:18-21; Mark.14:57-58, Acts.7:47-48; 17:24, Eph.2:1-22, 1Peter.2:5)NOTE: This is the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Eph.3:12)

1. He (Jesus / the last Adam 1Cor.15:45-46)"came unto His own"
a. Notice how God (The Father) is confirming all these covenants with JESUS THE LAST ADAM
b. In the "figure" (Rom.5:14) of the first Adam and Eve, is a picture of the overall Redemptive
Purpose and Plan. (See Home Page)
2. He (Jesus / the last Adam said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill / confirm[0] (The Law and the Prophets and all these
Covenants that I have made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Moses, and David) NOTE: The "simplicity" (singleness) of Christ(2Cor.11:1-3)
a. What is the Law?
(1)
(2) .?
b. Who are the Prophets?
(1) .
(2) .
B. The Promise(Matt.26:26-29, Heb.8-9, Jer.31:31-34, Isa.42:6; 49:8, Rom.15:8, Gal.3:18)
C. The Blood of the Covenant (Matt.26:26, John.19:34, 35, 1John.1:7, Rev.12:11, Heb.9, Heb.13:20,
1Peter.1:18-20, Acts,20:28)

IX. To summarize all these Covenants
All these Covenants are built upon each other[0] and are consistent with God's "intent" (Purpose) from the
beginning of the world (Gen.1:1, 1 Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-2 / Acts.3:21, Rev.10:7; 11:15) That "intent"
was that Christ was to be manifest as the Lamb of God (Messiah, the last Adam1Cor.15:45-46, Rom.5:14) in
these last times. (NOTE: Not only is JESUS called the last Adam, Paul also compares"Eve" to the Church.
(Gen.2:7-25, 2Cor.11:1-7, Eph.3:5; 5:21-32, Gal.1:11-12) To confirm this, the apostle Paul interprets the first Adam
is "a figure[0] of Himthat was to come"[Jesus][0]NOW we have pattern (in the first Adam and Eve) to teach
us how Christ will build His Church. (See Home Page)
This "intent" was (and still is to make in Himself of the twain (two) JEW and GENTILE, ONE NEW MAN.
(Gen.12:1-2 / John.8:56, 1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.2:15-22; 3:1-12; 4:11-16, 1Cor.13:9-12, Gal.3:1-29, Col.1:13-26 /
1Cor.12:12-27) This "ONE MAN" / THE CHURCH IN CHRIST Eph.2:1-22, 2Cor.5:7-8 / THE LAST ADAMGen.1:1,
John.1:1-14, Rom.5:14, 1Cor.15:45-46) is to grow (be built / formed Eph.4:11-16) as Eve was PRESENTED
COMPLETED / FINISHED / MATURE / PERFECTED (Gen.2:22-25, Eph.5:25-33) to the first Adam. "A figure[0] of
Him (Jesus)[0] that was to come" (Rom.5:14)
The apostle Paul told the Ephesian Church "I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
"This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." (Gen.1:1 / John.1:1-14, Gen.1:26-31; 2:1-25,
Acts.20:27, Eph.5:21-33)
A. The NEW Testament (covenant) is not new in the sense of starting over. It is a NEW AND LIVING WAY which
fulfills the Old covenant in Christ.(Matt.5:17-19) Paul writes, "do we then make void the Old Testament law
through faith? (The New Testament) God forbid: yea, we establish(Gen.41:32, Deut.17:6; 19:15, Eccl.4:12,
2Cor.13:1) the law." (Exod.19-39, Lev.1-27, Rom.3:21-31, NOTE: v.31 / Gal.1:11-12)
1. Here is an example of the New and Living way(Heb.10:19-20) for the Jew and the Gentile
together as ONE NEW MAN(Eph.2:1-22) "fellow citizens with the saints" / "for there is...neither
Jew nor Greek...bond or free...male nor female: for ye (you Jew and Gentile) are all ONE (MAN) in Christ
Jesus." Now (in the New (and Living way) Covenant we have"boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. (Lev.16:1-2,
Heb.10:19)
a. Having therefore, brethren, (The Church / redeemed) Lev.16:1-2,Heb.10:19-20
(1) First the natural: Underthe Old Covenantthe Church in the wilderness had its beginning with
Abraham, Isaac. [Review: PHASE 2, Page.0] and Jacob. Their descendants were part of the Covenants
of promises,
(a) Strangers were not permitted to approach the Tabernacle (Num.3:38-39)
(b)
(2) Then the spiritual: Under the New Covenant the Church, the Body of Christ begins with the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost and have been "grafted into" (made nigh by the blood of Christ,
and "blessed with faithful Abraham (Rom.11:, Eph.2:1-19) Brethren meaning the Church / Family of /
Household of faith.
(a) We are no more stangers
(b) God still requires the same pattern / it is NOT abolished. The ONLY thing that is abolished
is the animal sacrifices. A stranger (is a Gentile, heathen, unsaved, unjust, not born again
(Not home born / Someone that is outside the covenants of promise (Exod.12:43-48, Eph.2:1-22)
b. Boldness (Strong's NT#3954 - frankness, bluntness, publicity; by implication, assurance
(1) This is only because we are in Christ (NOTE: Isaiah was undone / Gentile should learn from the
"serveity" of God Rom.11:10-25, Heb.10:29 fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God)
(2) Christ our High Priest (after the order of Melchisedec is still following according to the pattern
of the Tabernacle of Moses and we are the Priesthood. This pattern has NOT changed!
(a) The
(b) The order of Melchisedec
c. To enter into the holiest /
(1) The "holiest" is the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle of Moses
(2) The reality of the "holiest of all" is in the true Tabernacle that the Lord pitched and not man
in heaven (Heavenly places)
(3) This is the place (the Tabernacle) where Jesus atoned for our sin (The "new and living way"
has NO change in the pattern)
(4) By the blood of Jesus
(a) Because we are in Christ our high Priest
(b) Blood is still required (Lev.17:11, Heb)
(5) There is a Priesthood
b. Heb.9:7-8 Holy Ghost signifying with Aaron / Vail
NOTE: So far we have been showing how God is faithfully the shadow which gives us confidence
that when God moves again He will be faithful to the shadows that have not been fulfilled yet
Look at what JESUS taught Paul (Gal.1:11-12, Eph.3:5)
1. Summarizing the covenant made with Abraham
The Promise (Gen.12:1-3; 15; 17; 22, 26:2-4; 28:3-14, Gal.3:1-29) The Blood (Gen.15:1-22, Gen.3:1-24; 4:1-4;
8:20, Exod., Lev.17:11, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25)The Seal / circumcision (Gen.17:1-14, Rom.4:11 / Col.2:11-12,
Rom.6:1-14, Matt.28:19)
a. Abraham rejoiced to see this ONE MAN (The Jew and the Gentile together) Christ / Messiah) "manifest
in these last times" (John.1:1-14, 1Peter.1:18-2-John.8:12-56,v.56, Gen.1:1, Eph.1:4, Acts.3:21, Rev.11:8; 17:18,
Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)
(1) This promise continued through Isaac and Jacob. (Gen.12:1-2;
(2) A prophetic picture of the Godhead (The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost)
(Review: PHASE.2, Page.1 / Page.2)
b. Paul says, "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; (Gal.3:14-17)
(1) NOTE: That we (the CHURCH) might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak
after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man
disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
(2) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
(a) If you are Christ's then are you are Abraham's seed (offspring)
(b) THEN are you you (CHURCH / ONE MAN), and heirs according to the promise (Gen.12:1-2
Gen.15:1-22, Gal.4:21-31)
c. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ."
(Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-22, 17:1-15, Gal.3:15-17; 4:21-31) "...if you are Christ's (in Christ / Born Again) THEN are
you Abraham's (Star Seed)
(1) Abraham had a star seed
(2) Abraham had a "sand seed"
(3) Also Abraham had a "dust" seed
2. Summarizing the covenant made with Moses- A prophet shall the Lord raise like unto me, (JESUS) Him shall you hear / Christ came to fulfill the Law
a. This is consistent with God's purpose "hid in God before the foundation (beginning) of the World.
(Gen.1:1, John.1:1-14, 1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12)
b.
NOTE: The prophets "witnessed by the prophets (Rom.3:21)
c. Mystery of God in the scriptures of the prophets (Rom.16:25-26)
B. Christ was manifestin these last times for you. (1Peter.1:18-20)
1. In the beginning there was the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost (1John.5:7-8, John.1:1-14)
2. It was the Word, that came and dwelt among us (John.1:14-18)
a. The Word overshadowed Mary and she brought forth he FIRSTBORN son and Joseph
called Him JESUS. (Firstborn / virgin born Matt.., Luke)
b. And Jesus came unto His own (the House of Judah / Jews) as Daniel prophesied (Dan.9:26, John.1:11)
with the SAME intent to "confirm" these covenants that had been "hid in God" since the world / earth
began. (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.3:5, Rom.16:25-26)
3. .
4. .
5. Yes, God still has a hand upon Israel and will deal with them as a nation in the last day, BECAUSE OF
COVENANT. (Rom.9-11) They will be "grafted" back in again IF THEY ABIDE NOT IN UNBELIEF. Unbelief in
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE MESSIAH.
C. Christ came to confirm - To "seal" these covenants.
1. Seal
a. Strong's Con. / Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend) σφραγίς sphragís, sfrag-ece';
probably strengthened from G5420; a signet (as fencing in or protecting from misappropriation); by
implication, the stamp impressed (as a mark of privacy, or genuineness), literally or figuratively:—seal.
b. That by which anything is confirmed, proved, authenticated, as by a seal (a token or proof): Romans
4:11; 1 Corinthians 9:2. (Cf. BB. DD. under the word .)

...
Notice howJesus is following according to the pattern foreshadowed for us in the Tabernacle. Why then do people say that pattern is abolished / done away / it been done away with
"Forasmuch as ye
know that ye were
notredeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you."
(1Peter.1:18-20
NOTE:
Abraham also "looked for a City
(the beloved city / The Bride) whose builder and maker is God. ("Without hands")
All the "blood" in these Covenants point to The Lord Jesus Christ. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you" (1Peter.1:18-20)
Bibleteachingonline101.net PHASE 5 / Other subjects / The Covenants
This is the purpose "hid in God" from the beginning of the world.
COULD NEVER TAKE AWAY SIN
Some think that the Law has being
"abolished"
It is the penalty of the Law that we are free from because we are in Christ who fulfilled all the Law. God has NOT changed His mind
built according to the Blueprint
NOTE: The "simplicity" (singleness) of Christ (2Cor.11:1-3, Col.1:16-18)
This is the Blueprint This is the building
Why has God's Redemptive plan taken approximately 4,000 years to unfold the Covenants?
The Answer is because one day is as a 1,000 years. (Psa.84:10; 90:4, 1Peter.24-25 / Psa.90:10, 2Peter.3:1-9, Rev.20::4)
Paul is writing to THE CHURCH
of Ephesus (Eph.1:1)
