DO YOU KNOW SHINCHONJI EXACTLY?-7

Hi~

Today let me explain 'Two Covenants'

(Hebrews 8:, 9:)

God said to the Hebrews (Israelite people) who came out of Egypt, through Moses, “If you keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Ex.19:5-6). But they neither trusted in God, nor obeyed him by the Jordan River. (Exodus 32, Dt.9:11-24, Hebrews 3)
 
So God said in Jeremiah 31, he would make a new covenant because they broke the first covenant (Jer.31:31-32, Heb.8:7-13), and made the new covenant in the blood of Jesus after about 600 years. (Mt.26:26-29, Lk.22:14-20, Heb.9:13-15)  This new covenant is the New Testament, which main point is the promise of Revelation. Those who keep this covenant will be forgiven for their sins and become a kingdom of God and priests, and a holy nation, that is, the people of Heaven. (Rv.1:5-6, Heb.9:24-28)
 
They were the covenant through Moses, and the New Covenant through Jesus. Today, those who keep the New Covenant will be blessed as promised. What we should trust and obey are the word of promise (prophecy) and its fulfillment in the New Testament.
 
The affairs in the past (at the time of Moses) are the examples then, and what appear in the mirror are their faces (appearances). Today, we look in the mirror glass, which is far more transparent like pure gold. (Rv.21:21) As this mirror is the everlasting word like gold, everyone will be judged according to his deed as recorded in the Bible. (Rv.20:12)
