The 3 Master Salvation Covenants the FRC, the CRC and the ARC
The 3 Master Salvation Covenants, the FRC, the CRC and the ARC and the 3 Blessing Covenants, the 1BC, 2BC and 3BC
In simple terms there are 3 main salvation covenants covering the 3 stages of progression for a spiritual person. We start with Faith, then we progress to joining a true chruch and finally we are born again. The 3 covenants cover those with faith, those in a true church and those who are born again as angels. Then there are 3 systems that mankind has existed in since Adam. These are the pre-flood system, the immediate post flood system of Noah and the final Abrahamic system. These 3 systems are the 3 stages of progress of mankind as a whole. And each system has system wide subcovenants of the 3 main salvation covenants, the Faith covenant, the Church covenant and the Born Again covenant.
9 Oh Israel [those in the true religion], trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.
10 Oh house of Aaron [saints], put your trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.
11 you that fear Jehovah [those with faith], trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield (Psalm 115).
6 Just as David also speaks of the happiness of the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 Happy are those whose lawless deeds have been pardoned [sons of the church] and whose sins have been covered [sons of faith];
8 happy is the man whose sin Jehovah will by no means take into account [sons of God, saints].
9 Does this happiness, then, come upon circumcised people or also upon uncircumcised people? For we say: His faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
10 Under what circumstances, then, was it counted? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received a sign, namely, circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness by the faith he had while in his uncircumcised state, that he might be the father of all those having faith while in uncircumcision, in order for righteousness to be counted to them;
12 and a father of circumcised offspring, not only to those who adhere to circumcision, but also to those who walk orderly in the footsteps of that faith while in the uncircumcised state which our father Abraham had (Romans 4).
So here we are as a race, condemned to death, and dying in our hundreds of thousands daily all due to one little mistake of Adam. How can this be fair? How can age and all these deaths result from the actions of a just and loving God? Why is Adam's mistake even relevant to modern day man and to modern day woman? Who can believe in this fairy story?
Men and Women
Well, for men, the trouble all started when God gave us fertile women. And for women the trouble all started when God introduced them to fertile men. The pre-adamic humans, who were sexual and had children, but could not themselves reproduce sexually and did not get married - see I5,.did not fight wars. They did not build huge cities. They did not strive to impress anyone with fantastic technology, or with their brilliant ability to hurt or humiliate their brother. It took them more than a million years to domesticate the sheep, as if that was a hard thing to do! They appear to have lived a fairly carefree life. But no-one's life is carefree once marriage and sexual reproduction appear. For when sexual reproduction occurs, and when a man marries a woman, the two are said to become one flesh...
5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh'
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart (Matthew 19).
They effectively become one body, with the man as its head. The bible then says:
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to [his] wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the
brother; otherwise, your children would really be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving one proceeds to depart, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not in servitude under such circumstances, but God has called you to peace (1 Corinthians 7).
The sanctification is a cleanness of the flesh here. Since the husband and the wife are one in flesh, whilst they are married and both alive (although they are not one in spirit), then baptising the flesh of the one baptises the flesh of the other. Likewise the children, assuming they are born after the marriage (as Paul would have assumed), having come from two clean bodies, are born in a clean body. For the parents pass on to their children the fleshly life condition that they themselves have. Although two born again parents do not produce a born again child by sexual reproduction, which is a reproduction of the flesh, not of the spirit. This inheritance of the fleshly body type of our parents is why we all die, since Adam and Eve have passed on his ageing flesh to the lot of us.
But those of us who lose our partner for whatever reason are called to peace. Well that was true in the first century, but it is not so true today. The single man in the west is faced with so much pressure in the form of internet inappropriate contentography, obscene junk emails, half naked women walking past him him on a daily basis, thrusting their naked belly buttons into his field of vision, saying, hey look! my womb is empty! He is faced with pictures and news items and videos and movies of more than half naked women, which invade his life whether he asks for them or not. And as if that was not enough he can go to the look but do not touch bars that are all the rage. Why he would want such a thing has always been a mystery to the writer, who would much prefer to go to a touch but do not look bar. But that might actually be satisfactory, so it is not available in this corrupt and destructive system that enflames all the wrong desires and satisfies very few people very infrequently.
The writer is sure that things are equally hard for women but is unable quite to see how, being a man. Actually no, we all reap what we sow, women will pay the same price that men are paying. The price being a lack of emotional security, which is genuine unfailing love.
So let us examine this sin of Adam. God commanded Adam as follows...
16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man [before he created the woman]: From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.
17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die/dying you will die (Genesis 2).
The above is of course not only a law but also a prophecy. The scripture does not say: If you eat you will die, it says: In the day you eat from it you will die. But God said to Eve, through Adam, who was her priest, as follows...
2 At this the woman said to the serpent: Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat.
3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, you [plural] must not eat from it, no you [plural] must not touch it that you [plural] do not die (Genesis 3).
So Adam himself was to die in the day of eating from the tree. Whereas the pair of them were to die if they touched the tree or ate from it, but this death was not said to be in the day of eating.
Now the word 'day' takes a specific meaning in the account in Genesis 2 starting with the words...
4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven (Genesis 2).
So the 'day' that Jehovah made earth and heaven is defined as 'the time of their being created'. So a 'day' here means the time period covering the event or events being considered, which in the case of the creation of the earth and the heavens is in fact the whole time period of the first 6 creative 'days' of Genesis 1. Likewise these 6 creative days themselves are not literal days, but again are the periods of the events under consideration. However each creative day of Genesis 1 is the same length, for this is the symbolism of the 7 days of the week.
This metaphorical usage of 'day' is the usage that modern man makes of the word 'day' in the phrase 'in my day'. So given this usage we can see that Adam himself 'died' in the 6th creative day after having eaten and before that day ended. But of course he did not die physically at that time. So we deduce that he died judicially, losing his associated angel. He became un-born again if you like. Whereas the pair of them died physically as a result of eating the fruit but not in that creative day. Not in fact for hundreds of years after the meal. That is the meaning of the penalty that Eve referred to in Genesis 3. Unlike Adam, Eve herself did not die judicially when she ate the fruit because she did not sin with her spirit, since she was actually deceived by Satan.
14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression (1 Timothy 2).
Adam was not deceived and so did sin with his spirit and so lost his associated angelic soul. But the reader may be thinking at this point. Wait a minute, God had control of everything in the Garden, how can this have been Adam's fault? Well, Adam did have the capability to say no, but he did not have the emotional or spiritual maturity or wisdom to exert his will power and actually say it. So God permitted Satan to test him through Eve with a test that he was not mature enough to pass. So yes God, knew he would fail and yes God deliberately set him a task that was too hard for him. God prophesied Adam's failure again when he introduced him to Eve saying:
24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh (Genesis 2).
Adam did leave his father, God, and his mother, the holy spirit He chose to stick to Eve rather than to God's law. So these words are also a prophesy that Adam and Eve were to get married after their sin, which sin amounted to or involved a marriage proposition and some kind of sexual activity, which lead them to become ashamed of their nakedness - see U41.
25 And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his woman, and yet they did not become ashamed (Genesis 2).
6 Consequently the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes, yes, the tree was desirable to look upon. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward she gave some also to her husband when with her and he began eating it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them became opened and they began to realize that they were naked. Hence they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves (Genesis 3).
Prior to this eating of the fruit 'when with her' Adam was like a pre-pubescent schoolboy. Using the parallel of Jesus life with Adam's - see U41, one can deduce that Adam resisted Eve for 3½ days before the poor guy was slaughtered! This resistance period ended when they become sexually active, immediately prior to or during or immediately after their sin. So that they associated the sin with the sexual activity so that sex became a shameful thing to them. Alternatively perhaps they just realized the power of these parts around the time of their sin and so decided to give these parts some kind of protection at that time. The contemporaneousness of their sexual awakening and their sin against God leaves little doubt that Eve used Adam's sexual desire for her to entice him to sin as regards eating the fruit of the tree. Just as Satan used Eve's desire for status, to entice her to sin and eat the fruit first. Eve herself was not the forbidden fruit however.
But really the test on Adam was a side show, it was a bluff, he was never going to resist a gorgeous naked woman, in circumstances where there were no other women around and he had no experience of good and bad other than this one command not to eat from a tree. The real test was on Satan. He easily had enough experience to know good from bad and right from wrong. So he was exposed as a murderer for the first time, when he deceived Eve into killing herself and her husband...
44 You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began [as a serpent], an he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie] (John 8).
