What are the promises? Did the Creator of the New Covenant define them for us?
Jer. 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
OK, here is the creator of the New Covenant telling what HIS New Covenant is.
After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Before these days how did men receive God's Laws? Was it not exclusively by the Levite Priests? Was there any other way to receive God's Law than through the Levitical Priesthood?
Heb. 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
So according to God what changed was the manner in which men receive His Laws? No more Levite Priests, in fact, God's Laws can be found in every motel, in every book store, on the internet. Where is the implication that Jesus was to "take God's Laws out of the way? It's just the opposite according to the Creator of the New Covenant.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
How were sins forgiven in the first covenant? Were we not required by Law to take an animal as a sin offering to the Levite Priest who would then perform "Works or Deeds" of the Levitical Priesthood Law for atonement? But now, according to the Creator of the New Covenant, God forgives our sins Himself. No more "works of the Law" for justification. But the Pharisees didn't believe in Jesus did they? So they were still bewitching converts with these "works of the law" for the forgiveness of sins.
So according to the Creator of the New Covenant of the Bible, 2 things changed.
#1. How God's Laws are administered.
#2. How transgressions of God's Laws are atoned for.
An New Ministry, a new and better way.
Who did God find fault with?
Mal. 2:4And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law."For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. For he finds fault with them (Levite Priests who corrupted God's Laws) when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.Shall I not also believe these Word's of God?Heb. 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
A New and Better way for atonement and receiving the instructions of God. The Priesthood changed, not the Good, Just, and Holy Laws of God, at least not according to the Holy scriptures.
YES, THIS IS THE NEW Covenant.
