The Mosaic Covenant: Page 20


19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 
 
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 
 
21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 
 
27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 
 
28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 
 
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste (Leviticus 26:3-7, 14-21, 27-28, 33).
 
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 
 
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 
 
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee (Deuteronomy 28: 1-2, 15).
 
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen (Deuteronomy 27:26).
 
While in the wilderness, four hundred and thirty years after God had established the Abrahamic Covenant, Moses received from God ,the Old Mosaic Covenant, an extensive list of moral and civil laws, two tables of testimony, the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18; Deuteronomy 4:13; Acts 7:38) and a tabernacle design (Exodus 25:9, 40; Acts 7:44), a foreshadowing of when Christ will be the true climactic high priest from heaven (Hebrews 8:2-5, 9:2-26) and ceremonial aspects for means of atonement, including a blood sacrificial system (Leviticus 1-17).

[LISTEN]   This study was requested by and prepared for Gloria Pierce, founder and leader of our neighborhood ladies Bible study, and Rob Strom, both dear friends, as well as those who are seeking knowledge in Dispensational Theology and The Mystery.    Much appreciated is the encouragement I’ve received from Sharon Marosi, someone who challenged me to continue working on this study long after our neighborhood ladies had finished reading the incomplete original rough draft.   I would also like to thank my son-in-law, Jeremy Lucas, for helping to prepare the material for publication. Most of the content in this study is a reflection of the study, meditation, teachings, writings, podcasts, and prayers of the pastors of Fellowship Bible Church, Orlando: Fred Bekemeyer—Gracious, Teacher, Lover of Genesis and Romans, Holding fast that all believers in all dispensations are saved by faith and have eternal security, “God’s Victory Program of Grace” and that “we are living i...

[LISTEN]   To fully understand God’s entire plan for bringing order back in both the earth and in the heavens and back under His supreme authority, one must study all the scriptures.   The faith of the Lord Jesus Christ and the faith of man are required for man’s redemption in two programs—the Prophecy Program for the restoration of the earth and the Mystery Program for the restoration of the heavens.    Being grounded and settled in the covenants God made with the Nation of Israel, and knowing the distinctions between the Law/Prophecy program and the Grace/Mystery program enhances the spiritual growth and faith of all believers.   In every dispensation, Man has resisted following God’s instruction, have sinned.    Before receiving God’s judgment, God has always offered to man a way to be redeemed though faith.    It is not God’s will that anyone should perish.    His desire is to restore His relationship with all those ...

[LISTEN]   In the Bible, a dispensation is a unique administration; a stage in the outworking of God’s plan throughout history during which man is tested in respect of obedience to a specific revelation of the will of God.    It concerns the accountability, responsibility, and faithfulness of man to that revealed will of God, and is incorporated into a literal interpretation of prophecy and mystery in the Bible.    When we study in a dispensational manner, we can more easily see which of the scriptures are written specifically to us.    These dispensations, labeled in the book of Ephesians, are TIME PAST, BUT NOW, and the AGES TO O COME, which is concluded with the FULLNESS OF TIMES.   Satan’s activity will not be addressed again in this study and it is not the intent to focus on him, but to concentrate on God’s purposes and His great love for mankind.    Satan has only limited authority and is under the sovereign will and power of God....
