Abraham’s Covenant/Israel’s Passover

Will we believe and obey the voice of God?

Fred R. Coulter—March 4, 2023

There’s more confusion about the Passover than anything else in the Bible. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that it is central to what God did with Abraham, Israel, and with the Church.

With the Church, it’s the New Covenant. A lot of people get mixed up between a covenant and a testimony. The King James has testimony rather than covenant in the book of Heb. 8 & 9.

· testament or testimony—like a last will and testament—you can change it at any time you want before your die

· covenant—the exact opposite—you pledge your death if you don’t keep it from the beginning; you can’t change it; it’s unchangeable

That’s the difference between a covenant and a testimony.

There’s also something to remember. Today we’re going to get a bit technical. So, listen up! Here’s the way that God operates

· First, the promise

· Next, the covenant declaration and the sacrifices

That’s exactly how it works! The covenant is binding when the sacrifices have been completed, and you can’t change it! I want you to think about that in relation to the Sabbath Day because keeping the commandments is part of the New Covenant. So if you keep Sunday, you are changing the Law and the covenant!

When we come to Gen. 12, this has to do with Abram before his name was changed to Abraham, and here we have first the promise! This is not the covenant. This is the promise!

Genesis 12:1: “And the LORD said...
