Israel Present 

The Unconditional Covenants

Although a covenant is made, signed, and sealed at a certain point of history, this does not mean that all the promises or provisions go immediately into effect.

Abrahamic Covenant Seed, Land, Blessings

Davidic Covenant Seed

Palestinian Covenant Land

New Covenant Blessings

The Church’s Relationship to the Unconditional Covenants

Physical promises limited to Israel, the church partakes of the Spiritual.Ephesians 2:11-16, 3:5-6 The Death of Jesus ratified, signed, and sealed the new covenant The provisions of the new covenant cannot be fulfilled in, by, or through the church only in, by, and through Israel. The Physical blessings belong to Israel  Church is a partaker of the Spiritual blessings of the new covenant

The blessing of SalvationThe blessing of the forgiveness of sinsThe blessing of the indwelling Holy Spirit

The Mosaic Covenant and the Law of MosesIsrael present

The unity of the Law of Moses The Bible views the Mosaic law and the Mosaic Covenant as one unit The three fold division Moral, Ceremonial, Legal (10 commandments 603 Laws) The OT word Torah, & NT Nomos (Law) is singular but contains 613 commandments

The Law of Moses has been Rendered Inoperative Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end (Telos) of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.Telos the conclusion of an act or state of termination  Gal 3:19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

The Law of Christ is our law of life today Gal 6:1-2 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Rom 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Summary and Conclusions The day of the Sabbath has never been changed

There is no obligation to keep the Sabbath today

Jewish and Gentiles are free to keep or not to keep the Sabbath

We are free to keep the Sabbath in any form you chose

The body must meet Corporately

The Sabbath

The Sabbath was the sign, seal, and token of the Mosaic covenant.

Once the Mosaic covenant became inoperative the Sabbath law ended.

There is no NT commandment for keeping the sabbath

The Sabbath was Saturday not Sunday, day of rest not corporate worship 

Israel and the ChurchA. Evidences for the distinction of Israel and the church

First the Church didn’t exist before Pentecost , entrance into the church is by Spirit Baptism.

Second Events of the Messiah were prerequisites to the establishment of the ChurchThe death of MessiahThe Resurrection of the MessiahThe Ascension of the Messiah

Third The mystery Character of the ChurchThe Mystery of the body of Christ being Jews and gentilesThe Mystery of the truth of Christ indwelling in youThe Mystery of the church being the Bride of ChristThe Mystery of the Rapture of the church

Forth The church is called the one new man Fifth Distinguished from each other in 1Cor 10:32 

Sixth The term Israel is never used of the Church

Sunday Worship Was universal by the 2nd century Pre - Constantine Sunday was a day of worshipPost- Constantine church councils to call Sunday the Sabbath applying Sabbath rules Sabbath 7th Day commemorates the Creation rest of God a finished creationSunday 1st Day commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ a finished redemption No Christian Sabbath / No Jewish Sunday
