Definition: A covenant is an agreement between two parties.

Definition: A Mediator of a covenant with God is man/angel with whom God (directly or indirectly) has made a covenant, who subcovenants with a third party group of men/angels in order that they too may enter into a covenant with God through him.

Bible reading: Genesis 12 -15,17,22, Galatians 3, Romans 4 

The ARC the HARC and the PARC, the 3 Master Covenants

Adam's sons are born condemned to death under the death penalty passed and eventually executed on Adam. Adam can only pass on to his sons the life that he has, he cannot pass on everlasting life to them, because he himself only had a finite life. In fact really it is Eve who cannot pass on everlasting life to her sons and daughters because women give life physically, and she only had a finite life due to the death sentence on her. This reasoning is an example of what we call the 'Dirty Water Principle', which is not a principle of the bible code, but is a principle of common sense. One cannot clean anything with dirty water. Likewise a priest cannot pass on to his congregation a cleanliness that he does not himself possess. Now women are the physical priests, they give birth physically; God has chosen them to give physical life on his behalf. But men give birth spiritually; God has chosen them to give life after death on his behalf, or to give life through Armageddon. Make no mistake it is as unnatural for a woman to baptize as it is for a man to give birth. Men and women have equal value, and men and women have equal rights, but we do not have identical roles to play and we do not have equal authority. The man has authority over the woman. Men love making decisions and especially love bossing women about. Men make decisions easily, women find it harder, and love being indecisive. But men make better decisions if they listen to women who love to correct them. Women have better all round vision (rods) and men have better focus (cones). We are designed to act as a pair in making decisions. If we do act as a pair with the woman recognizing the man's better focus and the man recognizing the woman's better all round vision, then we make the best decisions we can. If we act in competition to each other recognizing nothing for ourselves but soaking up soap opera relationship values of pride and status wherein both parties wish to be the boss and two people are wrenching at the same steering wheel then we make the worst decisions we can.

Just because men make the decisions does not mean they should exclude women, on the contrary they should consult women just as the chairman of the board consults the other board members. For women are the diplomats of this world. They advise the men and can change a man's decision without having the authority to change his decision. And a woman will see the fault in any man's decision every time if she cares about him, because her peripheral vision is better than his. So if he listens to her, then his decisions will be the better for it. We two are perfect compliments for each other if we co-operate in wisdom and in love. But we destroy each other if we compete in political correctness and in blind power games. Eve of course failed to consult her husband and therefore got lead down the garden path (out of the garden). And Adam of course chose Eve over God. Women have not changed today and neither have men as regards their basic characters, but our experience if turned into wisdom through accurate knowledge of God can overcome our flawed and animalistic basic instincts. Indeed overcoming these is our work in progress as junior members of God's family.

The overwhelming majority of men today put women or a woman or being attractive to women before God as Adam did. The overwhelming majority of women today choose status over both their husband and God as did Eve.

Now both Adam and Eve had life subject to a death penalty when they had Cain. So by the dirty water principle, Eve, the physical priestess of life, was not able to pass on to her children life without a death penalty. 

5 Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains, and in sin my mother conceived me (Psalms 51).

So all of her sons and daughters likewise have life subject to the same death penalty. In fact we all exist today only due to the stay of execution granted to Adam and Eve by God, and we all die today, due to that one same penalty. This death penalty is enforced and exists only in our bodies, which age and die as a result.

God will not make a legal agreement directly with humans in this condition. For we are condemned to death and are only alive by means of a stay of execution on our sentence, so God has nothing with a future to make any agreement with. Instead he makes the effort to solve this problem whilst still obeying his own principles, by choosing one man for each covenant or subcovenant, whom he knows will turn out good, and be saved, and by lifting the death penalty on him (if necessary). Of course he cannot just lift his own death penalty. He does it on the basis that either Jesus' (Michael's) or Gabriel's or Melchizedek's ransom sacrifice is going to occur or has already occurred, depending on when this man lived (we will explain these three ransoms shortly). This person then becomes a mediator of the legal agreement, or covenant, which God wishes to make with mankind. The mediation works by God making a covenant with this person, and this person then making the same covenant with the rest of us. So that the mediator is a subcovenanter with God. Although very few men or angels covenant directly with God, because St. Paul has told us literally:

5 One for God, one and mediator of God and of men, man, Christ, Jesus (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation).

The above is a deliberately ambiguously written scripture. In the literal meaning, which applies at the time Paul wrote this scripture. The correct translation is:

5 For one God [there is], one [who is] also a mediator of God and of men, [a] man, Christ, Jesus (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

This translation is forced by the order of the words 'one and'. Nearly all bibles incorrectly translate the above as:

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2 - NWT).

The mistranslation arises from the words of Paul's statement that...

20 Now there is no mediator where only one person is concerned, but God is only one (Galatians 3).

So God cannot mediate a covenant between himself and someone (which is obvious from the definition of a mediator as being a sub covenanter).

Although the mistranslation is also contrary to the wording in Greek. For it would only be the correct translation if the Greek read 'and one' rather than 'one and'. Jesus is a God, and was of course a man, but he is not the only God, if one takes God to mean 'of divine constitution' (i.e. an angel). He is not the only angel who has mediated between Jehovah and man as we shall see. But he is presently the only angel permitted to perform such mediation, because since his death, he has been the firstborn angel of Jehovah, and so has the firstborn rights, which we call the Firstborn Master Covenant. He has also been since his death the only God requiring worship, who is also a mediator between God and man. Jesus was elevated in status from an angel, to a God requiring worship, after he died and was given the name above every other name named, which name is Jehovah.

9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name (Philippians 2).

20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come (Ephesians 1).

5 For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say: You are my son; I, today, I have become your father? And again: I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my son?
6 But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: And let all God's angels do obeisance to him.
7 Also, with reference to the angels he says: And he makes his angels spirits, and his public servants a flame of fire.
8 But with reference to the Son: God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.
9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation more than your partners (Hebrews 1).

So at the time Paul wrote to Timothy, Jesus was a Mighty God, a God requiring worship like Jehovah, but he was not Almighty God, who is Jehovah himself... 

6 For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9).

Now Jesus earned this increased status together with the rights of the firstborn angelic son of God, when he gave his life for us and to prove God correct. Satan lost these rights when he killed Adam and Eve. The right of the firstborn angelic son of God is that God will do everything through him. In fact Satan was the first angel born to God, the first angel to be created by God.  So if Satan had not lost his firstborn rights at Adam's sin, then God would not have been able to covenant directly with anyone other than Satan. But since Michael did not earn these rights for himself until he died on the stake/cross, there was a period between Adam's sin and Jesus' ransom during which God was free to covenant with any of his angels. But after Jesus died, since he then had the firstborn rights, all covenants had to be master mediated by him. This is the logic behind Paul's words to Timothy, penned after Jesus died.

5 For one God, one also a mediator of God and of men, man, Christ, Jesus.
6 The one having given himself corresponding ransom over all ones (1 Timothy 2).

The full literal meaning is therefore:

For there is one God requiring worship, one who is also a mediator (of a ransom covenant) between Jehovah and men, someone who was a man but now is an angel, and who became a God to be worshipped after he died, Jesus Christ.

The 3 Master Covenants between God and Man without using the Successive Designations Principle of the Code 

We all know about the New Covenant (1NC), that Jesus made at the last supper, and we all know about the First Abrahamic Covenant (1AC) of Genesis 12. But the angelic salvation offered by the 1NC did not just appear with Jesus. Neither did the blessing of Abraham, the benefit to the sons of the 1AC, which is the resurrection into the kingdom of God on earth, just appear with Abraham. Both of these covenants have superior covenants, which we call Master covenants. There are in fact 3 Master covenants for the salvation of our species. We discovered them by applying the bible code to the scripture that the NWT mistranslates as:

 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, [a] man, Christ, Jesus (1 Timothy 2)

This scripture has 3 successive designations for the mediator between God and men. He is called ‘[a] man’, ‘[a] Christ’, and ‘Jesus’. Using the Successive Designations Principle of the code, this means that in the word symbolic meaning, there are 3 mediators between God and men. However we have not yet covered all of the code, so we will instead deduce their existence from the literal meaning of other scriptures. 

We know from 1 Timothy 2:5 quoted above that Michael ransomed Adam in some way, so let us examine the ransoming blood of Jesus’ Master covenant, the ARC. It is not possible for Jesus to Ransom Adam and then for his blood only to apply to people who lived after Abraham. His blood must actually apply to the forefathers of Abraham as well, so there must be a covenant above any Abrahamic Covenant, which passes on the ransoming value of Jesus’ blood. Taking the argument to its limit, there must be a Master Ransom Covenant, which Abraham and the mediators of the Pre flood and peri-flood systems sit below. We call the Master Covenant between Jesus and God, the Angelic Ransom Covenant; we call the immediately inferior Universal Righteousness Covenant between Jesus and Adam, the 3rd Righteousness Covenant, the 3RC, because Jesus died to give us everlasting angelic life which is the righteous decree in the spirit from God. 

22 However, now, because you were set free from sin but became slaves to God, you are having your fruit in the way of holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6).

14 how much more will the blood of the Christ, who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to [the] living God? (Hebrews 9).

11 And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6).

The righteous decree in the spirit is the end of the spirit baptism. This is the point where one gets everlasting life - U13. So the blood of Michael gives everlasting life, which is a completed spirit baptism, which is entry into the ARC, which entry is for ever and cannot be revoked. This is how Jesus becomes our eternal father.

6 For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us, and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9).

5 For one God, one also a mediator of God and of men [i.e. between God and men], man, Christ, Jesus.
6 The one having given himself corresponding ransom over all ones,
7 which is witnessed to at its own appointed times (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation).

Jesus corresponded to Adam and ransomed him. This ransom is said to be 'over all ones'. This does not mean that Jesus' ransom of Adam covers all of Adam's genetic sons. 

28 Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many [not all, but many] (Matthew 20).

As we shall soon see in the case of the first Abrahamic covenant, covenants do not cover the mediator's genetic descendents, they cover those who enter the covenant being mediated. The 1AC does not cover to those with the genes of Abraham, but rather it covers those with the faith of Abraham, for it was a covenant given as a result of the faith of Abraham which therefore had faith as an entrance criterion. By entering the 1AC one became a son of Abraham's faith rather than a son of his loins. 

The corresponding ransom for Adam by the Master Mediator/Covenanter/Ransomer Jesus is over, it covers, all those who enter into the 3RC which Adam, his ransomee mediates. These people may be genetic sons of Adam or may be pre-adamic or non adamic! They may have lived in the pre-flood, the peri-flood or the post-flood systems. They are the men of 1 Timothy 2:5.

15 But it is not with the gift as it was with the trespass. For if by one man's trespass many died, the undeserved kindness of God and his free gift with the undeserved kindness by the one man Jesus Christ abounded much more to many.
16 Also, it is not with the free gift as it was with the way things worked through the one [man] that sinned. For the judgment resulted from one trespass in condemnation, but the gift resulted from many trespasses in a declaration of righteousness.
17 For if by the trespass of the one [man] death ruled as king through that one, much more will those who receive the abundance of the undeserved kindness and of the free gift of righteousness rule as kings in life through the one [person], Jesus Christ (Romans 5).

10 For [the death] that he died, he died with reference to sin once for all time. But [the life] that he lives, he lives with reference to God (Romans 6).

So Jesus is the Master Mediator of the ARC with God and his ransomee Adam is the Universal Mediator of the 3RC with us. 

But Paul relates Jesus, the high priest of the ARC, to Melchizedek as follows.

20 This hope we have as anchor for the soul, both sure and firm, and it enters within the curtain, where a forerunner has entered on our behalf, Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek (Hebrews 6).

But how did Jesus enter within the curtain?

11 However, when the Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to pass, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is not of this creation,
12 he entered no, not with the blood of goats, and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time, into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance (Hebrews 9).

Now if Jesus is a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek, then Melchizedek is a high priest according to the manner of Jesus. So Melchizedek also entered into some kind of holy place with his own blood and performed a ransom, which was the covenant basis of his priesthood. In other words he was also a master covenanter between God and men. But Melchizedek started life as a non adamic man, as Jared in fact, the Father of Enoch - U506. Now there were two cherubs on the Ark of the Covenant in the most holy place, not one. And Solomon himself built two huge Cherubs for the holy place where the ark was to be kept. 

23 Further, he made in the innermost room two cherubs of oil-tree wood, ten cubits being the height of each one (1 Kings 6).

But the ark itself is symbolizing the angelic body of Jesus - because this body is the validation sacrifice of the Angelic Ransom Covenant which we all are eventually saved by - U509. So neither of the two Cherubs on the ark or in the most holy place are Michael who is Jesus - U14b So who are they? Well, we know that Gabriel is one, since the two Cherubs guarding the way to the tree of life must have been Michael and Gabriel. And we know that there are three Cherubs in all from Ezekiel 10 where a Cherub who is also a man clothed with linen thrusts his hand in between the two Cherubs of the Chariot of Jehovah which has 4 wheels (One needs to read Ezekiel 10 carefully to see that there are 2 Cherubs and 4 Wheels in the chariot). So who is the third Cherub? Well since Cherubs are involved in God's interactions with man, and since Melchizedek is a high priest according to the manner of Jesus, he is the third Cherub. Having started life as a human, he is the 'most human' of the three. Satan himself used to be a Cherub...

14 You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you. On the holy mountain of God you proved to be. In the midst of fiery stones you walked about.
15 You were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created until unrighteousness was found in you (Ezekiel 28).

Satan was the firstborn angel of God - U243. God created him first. God gave him the Firstborn Master Covenant, he agreed to act only through Satan, his firstborn, this is why he was the angelic overseer of the Garden of Eden. He lost his firstborn right when he sinned, lying to Eve and deceiving her into killing Adam (who was not deceived, but who loved his wife more than he loved God's laws). At this point Satan ceased being a Cherub. So a Cherub is an angel who covenants directly with God. So Gabriel and Melchizedek must also covenant directly with God as Michael does with the ARC.

But how does Gabriel's priesthood work? Well, when Gabriel appeared to Zechariah, he was standing at the right side of the incense altar, and he said:

19 I am Gabriel, who stands near before God (Luke 1).

Now God, although he is almighty, never breaks his own laws, for he is not a hypocrite like powerful men down here. Likewise, Gabriel, the angel of the Lord, will not break God’s laws. So he had a right to be standing in the holy place. In fact ‘standing near before God’ is a euphemism for being a priest of God. Yet even Gabriel himself was not in the most holy place with the Ark. He was in the holy place with the incense altar.

So Gabriel has also entered into the first compartment of the holy place as a priest and he is sitting upon the Ark of the Covenant next to Melchizedek in the second compartment in statue. So plainly he is also a priest to God similar to Jesus. He cannot of course be a priest after the manner of Aaron, since he does not trace his genealogy to Levi. But being a cherub, and having entered himself physically into the holy place (but not the most holy place), the blood of his priesthood must also enter into the first tent but not into the second.

Now only the blood of Michael enters into the second compartment, the most holy place, to give an everlasting deliverance, since it is he who baptizes in Holy Spirit and fire, not Gabriel or Melchizedek. So the blood of Gabriel enters into the first compartment, where he stood with Zechariah. And the blood of Melchizedek enters into another holy place of some sort. It appears that Melchizedek is outside in the courtyard in this symbolism.

Now Gabriel was in John who started a water baptism - U506, and Michael was in Jesus who started a spirit baptism (by baptizing only Peter, who he renamed).  And in fact every time the three of them, Melchizedek, Gabriel and Michael appear, they perform the following baptism routine.

Melchizedek presides over the entrance of Gabriel, and then Gabriel presides over the entrance of Michael. Every time, that is, except the first time, when Melchizedek presided over the entrance of Michael and then later presided over the entrance of Gabriel - U506. And yet here is Gabriel standing by the incense altar right where Michael enters into the Most Holy.

If you put this whole Jigsaw together you have Gabriel as the master covenanter of a water baptism (the holy place), and Michael as the Master Covenanter of a spirit baptism (the most holy place). You also have Melchizedek having a covenant that must exist outside of baptism (since there are no other baptisms performed by men). This is the covenant of God’s love, the covenant of faith. For the order of progression of every Jew and every Christian, is Faith, Water, Spirit, or Faith, Spirit, Water. In other words it is Melchizedek, Gabriel, Michael, or it is Melchizedek, Michael Gabriel, the very two orders that these three Cherubs appear in when they possess humans - U506.

Now Adam lost two souls when he sinned, he lost his associated angelic soul (for he was born as both an angel and a human, he was born again when he was born if you like, since he was a son of God without sin and such sons are angels) and he lost his edenic human soul. His indefinitely lasting edenic human soul was converted into a 960 year long ageing human soul by God, as his last act of creation at the very end of the 6th creative 'day' of Genesis 1.

Well, Michael ransomed the one soul, the angelic soul, for Adam and his sons, and Gabriel ransomed the other soul, the human soul, for Adam and his sons. Melchizedek actually ransomed Adam's dad, who was obviously pre-adamic. Pre-adamics as a race were fatherless, motherless and without genealogy, like Melchizedek (who was the second incarnation of Jared and who appeared in the peri-flood system) and those of Adam's sons with faith but without water or spirit baptism, who again have no visible spiritual genealogy (no visible baptism path). For Paul says of Melchizedek...

3 In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually (Hebrews 7).

The ransom covenant for Michael, by which he becomes our angelic father, is the ARC and the universal righteousness covenant for his ransomee (the associated angel of Adam) we call the 3RC (3rd Righteousness Covenant). 

The ransom covenant for Gabriel, by which he becomes our edenic father we call the HARC (Human Adamic Ransom Covenant), and the universal righteousness covenant for his ransomee (the human soul of Adam) we call the 2RC. 

The ransom covenant for Melchizedek, by which he becomes the edenic father of the pre adamics, and the non baptized sons of Adam, we call the Pre-adamic Ransom covenant (the PARC), and the universal righteousness covenant for his ransomee, we call the 1RC (1st Righteousness Covenant). 

Melchizedek actually ransomed Adam's human 'father' U13, (in the same sense that Joseph was Jesus' father). He became the father in faith of the pre-adamics. We call this man Abadam (This is Hebrew for the father of Adam).

So now we can finally understand the deep things of Hebrews 9 that Paul was not speaking in detail about! 

2 For there was constructed a first tent in which were the lampstand and also the table and the display of the
loaves. And it is called: The Holy Place.
3 But behind the second curtain was the tent called: The Most Holy.
4 This had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which were the golden jar having the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded and the tablets of the covenant.
5 But up above it were the glorious cherubs overshadowing the propitiatory [cover]. But now is not the time to speak in detail concerning these things (Hebrews 9).

For the first compartment is the HARC, for the sons of water, and the second compartment is the ARC, and the temple courtyard is the PARC for the pre adamics, and the unbaptized sons of Adam with true faith in Jehovah (before 33Nisan16) or in Jesus and Jehovah (after 33Nisan16) or with a good conscience or with a good community conscience (sighing and groaning over the detestable things happening and translating this pain into selfless acts). For more details of the temple symbolism see - U509.

If you like, Melchizedek is the father of the orphans. He fathers those who God himself adopts, due to their faith in him or in Jesus, or due to their good conscience which is their faith in goodness, even though they never join a true religion.

15 They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts; they are being accused or even excused (Romans 2).

4 And Jehovah went on to say to him: Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and you must put a mark on the foreheads of the men that are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the midst of it (Ezekiel 9). So in summary...

All those with true faith or with a good conscience but no baptism are ransomed by Melchizedek via the PARC.
The water baptized are ransomed by Gabriel via the HARC.
The spirit baptized are ransomed by Michael via the ARC.

Let us be absolutely clear about the PARC. Christians who believe in the Trinity and Jews who do not believe in Jesus, and Kabala mystics who do not believe in Jesus, and Muslims who believe in the Koran and Hindus who believe in Brahman who is ‘more than the universe’ but not a person, and Buddhists who believe in enlightenment apart from a God etc., and the followers of the Dali Lama who believe in re-incarnation and Sheikhs who believe in one true God but not in his son, all have a worthless and misplaced faith from a salvation point of view. They have fallen for the snares of Satan, who delights in providing unseaworthy lifeboats full of gaping holes, and watching sincere people jumping into them and drowning. Many of them of course are genuine in their love for God, and would have had a true faith were they not being deceived as Eve was. However, these ones are saved, and become sons of the PARC, not because of their misplaced faith, but because of their good conscience or because of their selfless acts. 

So the sons of the PARC are in fact sons of true faith in God or sons of true faith in goodness. Incidentally we shall see later due to the wording of the first Abrahamic covenant, that anyone who changes religion because they are sincerely searching for God, is a son of the 1AC even if they change from one false religion to the next, or even if they change from a true religion to a false religion! The effort to leave the religion of your father, your family, you community or your country and to go to the land, the religious administration, that you believe God to be showing you makes you a son of Abraham by faith even if God was actually trying to show you another land entirely! 

The PARC, the HARC and the ARC, the 3 Master Covenants between God and Man, and the 1RC, the 2RC and the 3RC, the 3 Universal Righteousness Covenants from the Successive Designations Principle of the Code 

5 For one God, one also a mediator of God and of men, man, Christ, Jesus.
6 The one having given himself corresponding ransom over all ones (1 Timothy 2 - Literal translation)

The phrase: A man, Christ, Jesus is a triple successive designation, since the word 'Christ' is used here as a noun - see the Successive Designation Principle of the code. The word 'God' is repeated twice and so must take a different symbolic meaning in one of the three word symbolic threads to its literal meaning - see the Repetition Principle of the code. The 3 word symbolic meanings of Paul's words are:

Melchizedek's Ransom

For there is one angel, one who is also a mediator between Jehovah and men, a man (Melchizedek). Who gave himself a corresponding human soul ransom for Adam's father, covering all pre-adamic and adamic sons of true faith and all pre-adamic and adamic men of good conscience, without water or spirit baptisms.

By believing 'pre-adamic' humans we mean humans who lived after Adam, and heard about Jehovah through Adam's sons, and believed in true faith, but were not themselves sons of Adam. For Adam was the first human priest. It was through him that mankind, pre-adamic mankind, learned about God. This Master Covenant for the ransomer we call the PARC and this universal righteousness covenant for the ransomee we call the 1RC. Melchizedek was Jared, the father of Enoch - U506. We do not know precisely how pre-adamic man got started. Anthropology tells us it was around 2.8 million years ago. But we do believe that they had a life span similar to our 120 year maximum lifespan today - see [235]. Presumably God picked Adam's father on his good conscience. This man would be a kind of Abraham to the pre-adamics. Then Melchizedek would have ransomed him. And then all men of faith, regardless of their genealogy could come into the 1RC. What we are saying is that Adam's dad was the real, the archetypical, Abraham. He fathered everyone with a future, both quasi genetically in the case of Adam and his sons and through a covenant of faith in the case of them and the pre-adamics.

Melchizedek would not have ransomed Neanderthals, Homo Habilis or any other early type of human that had become extinct by the time of Adam, because they were not subject to any spiritual test (another way of looking at this is they had no knowledge of bad from Satan). Adam did not appear until Homo Sapiens (Cro-Magnon man) was able to think spiritually, by which we mean that he was able to discern with his mind the existence of things that he could not detect with his senses, or as an alternative definition, he was able to perform a two step thought process, he was able to walk mentally, to think logically.

3 In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually (Hebrews 7).

This description of Melchizedek's lineage, applies to a large extent to pre-adamic man as well. 7 pairs of pre-adamics (clean, i.e. baptized, non sons of Adam) came through the ark with the 8 adamic souls. These interbred with Adam's kids bringing down the lifespan of man from 960 years to 120 years. Statistically it is inordinately unlikely that any were left by the time of Jesus who had not interbred to such an extent that they were effectively adamic. But actually it does not matter whether they were or they weren't for just as in the case of Abraham, one does not have to be a son genetically to be a son by covenant. So the pre-adamics could benefit from both Gabriel’s adamic ransom and Michael's adamic ransom.

Melchizedek (his name in the peri-flood system) started life as Jared in the pre flood system - U506. Jared fathered Enoch who fathered Methuselah. Jared it was that ransomed the pre adamic humans. These humans were obviously under a death sentence (since they died like we do). But their sentence was not due to a sin, we assert, it was due to their being created as a-spiritual beings. Only when they had developed spirituality, did God introduce himself to them through Adam, and begin the process of saving them from death. Since the pre adamics were not born with judicial life, they needed to be ransomed in order to gain it. 

It is perfectly possible that there were pre-adamic men and women around at the time of King David or even at the time of the exile to Babylon, but not much later than that. They are not Neanderthals; they just have a different lineage. One thinks of Goliath and Og and Ishbi-benob for example. Adam and Eve were taken from pre-adamic man in any event in the same surrogate way that Jesus was taken from Joseph and Mary...

45 It is even so written: The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit (1 Corinthians 15).

Gabriel's Ransom

For there is one angel, one who is also a mediator between Jehovah and Adam's sons, a Christ (Gabriel). Who gave himself a corresponding human soul ransom for Adam's human soul covering all water baptized sons of Adam and all water baptized pre-adamics.

This master ransom covenant for Gabriel we call the HARC and the universal righteousness covenant of the ransomee (Adam) we could call the 2RC (This has nothing to do with Roman Catholics!) We use the acronym HARC because of a certain hymn. Gabriel did not die as an angel in this ransom, but his first human host (Methuselah) did, with Gabriel inside him at the time, in the year of the flood, 2371BC. He would have died during the 40 days of rain of the flood itself, between 2371Heshvan17 and 2371Chislev27, in order to save those from the true religion in the Great Crowd during the greater flood of Armageddon. Methuselah was non adamic - U506. He would not have died judicially during the flood; he was not in need of any judicial execution by God. The sons of the HARC have all been in a true religion, they are all priests as Adam was, they get their edenic human bodies courtesy of Gabriel through Methuselah's body, the longest living human to date (he lived 969 years). Furthermore there has never been more water around than in the flood and the HARC is entered through 'water' baptism. Pre-adamics could enter the HARC and become sons of Adam under his subcovenant of the HARC. And sons of Adam who did not get water baptized into the true religion at the time but had faith, could enter the PARC. 

In fact, let’s reboot our brains shall we? Why is it that entry to the 2AC is through water baptism? True a bath cleans away physical dirt from the past which symbolizes fleshly sins committed in the past. But surely all water baptisms point back to the flood? Surely Methuselah died by the waters of the flood so that we might live through the waters of the Jordan, the bath of the flesh. 

Michael's Ransom

For there is one angel, one who is also a mediator between Jehovah and Adam's sons, Jesus (Michael). Who gave himself a corresponding angelic soul ransom for Adam covering all spirit baptized sons of Adam and all spirit baptized pre-adamics. 

This master ransom covenant we call the Angelic Ransom Covenant (the ARC) and its universal righteousness covenant for Adam, we call the 3RC. In all three covenant explanations above, and in many places in this website and in the bible, 'sons' means 'sons and daughters'.

The three master covenants above were made after Satan sinned and so were made directly with God, without the Firstborn Master Covenant, which Satan lost when he sinned. But after Jesus' death, any new covenant made with God, must be made through Jesus, since he then became God's firstborn taking the firstborn right which is to have the Firstborn Master Covenant which stipulates that God must do everything through the firstborn. Since the word 'God' is recited twice in the scripture...

5 For one God, one also a mediator of God and of men, man, Christ, Jesus.

it must take a different meaning somewhere in the word symbolism, to the meaning it takes in the literal interpretation. This is why we take 'One God' to mean one God requiring worship in the literal meaning, and to mean 'one angel' in the word three symbolic meanings of the scripture.

The Blessings of the PARC the HARC and the ARC

Melchizedek's ransom provides a non ageing human soul for pre-adamic men and for adamic sons of true faith or good conscience in the new system. The Blessing of the PARC is a human resurrection into the Kingdom of God with a perfect edenic body. 

Gabriel's ransom provides a non ageing human soul for the pre-adamics and for Adam’s sons in the new system. The blessing of this covenant of water baptism and of true religion is that one is a priest in this system, for every Jew with faith would have evangelized about his God and could take people into his household and have them circumcised, and one is a priest in the next system, and one gets a human resurrection into the Kingdom of God with a perfect edenic body. From a salvation standpoint, the PARC and the HARC provide the same blessing. But they provide it to different groups and the HARC is a priestly covenant, a covenant for those in the true religion. A priesthood is a non genetic fathering, by providing entrance into a salvation covenant.

Michael's ransom provides an everlasting angelic body for pre-adamics and for Adam's sons in the new system. 

If Gabriel's ransom is applied during the Kingdom, which is the same statement as, if Adam is resurrected into the Kingdom of God and since the first will be last, he must be so resurrected, then those in Gehenna will not benefit from this ransom, being under the second death, and so not entitled to any body (human or angelic) at the time the ransom is carried out. This appears to mean that all those in Gehenna can never be humans again! But they can be angels again and if they are sons of Adam this will be through the ARC - U13a

Technical Note: If Abraham's ransom by the human soul of Jesus, which we look at later, was applied today, then all of his genetic descendants as well as all those in the 1AC would be resurrected (other than those in Gehenna). Gehenna is the means which prevents resurrection when ransoms are applied. Likewise when Adam is finally ransomed and thereby resurrected, all of his genetic and covenant descendents who are not in Gehenna are resurrected. This is why he is resurrected last after his sons.

Fatherhood

Before Adam died, he had an indefinitely lasting human soul and an associated angelic soul, since he was an uncondemned son of God - U190. He lost both of these when he sinned. He therefore lost the right to pass these souls to his kids through procreation. Michael ransomed Adam's angelic soul, and Gabriel (in Methuselah) ransomed his indefinitely lasting human soul. By Michael giving his angelic soul in death to God, he then liberated and actually purchased Adam's angelic soul from God. In any event this procedure gave Michael the right to father angelic sons to Adam, the right that Adam had lost. But since it was a ransom of Adam, it was Adam's re-instatement as an angelic father. So Jesus effectively gave Adam his fatherhood rights back and reclaimed the procreative capability that Adam had lost. Jesus became Adam's angelic father by covenant and he became his son in the sense that he could provide him with angelic offspring. Hence his name 'the son of man'. Gabriel on the other hand, by giving the non adamic human soul of Methuselah (with Gabriel in it at the time), took Adam's human soul as a possession, 'as his own'. He then became Adam's human soul father and purchased the rights to father Edenic human souls to Adam's sons, the other right that Adam had lost; hence he is also a 'son of man'.

So in the Kingdom of God, our edenic human bodies are thanks to Melchizedek or Gabriel and our angelic bodies are thanks to Michael, and the whole exercise is thanks to our brilliant God. A God whose mercy is a matter of heavenly legislation. Wouldst that we had such legislation in this system, but there again it has a different God, so we have cruelty as a matter of legislation instead.

Michael died as an angel in Jesus going first to Tartarus, where all the disembodied ex angelic souled spirits are - U251. Gabriel did not die as an angel but died as a human in Methuselah, Gabriel's spirit was preserved without being sent to Tartarus. It was simply transferred into his angelic vehicle, his angelic soul, when the human soul of Methuselah expired. 

So God covenanted with Michael first, when Satan sinned, and then later with Gabriel and Melchizedek. God covenants with the Angelic Master Mediator (Michael, Gabriel, Melchizedek) who then covenants with the human universal righteousness mediator (Adam or his father) who then covenants with the various system mediators (Enosh, Noah, Abraham etc) who then covenants with a submediator (Moses, Ezra, John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul, Russell, Gordon etc.) who then covenants with mankind. This arrangement of covenants reflects the role of Jesus/Michael and of the two other master mediators, making the three Cherubs. Seeing this clearly, Jesus made an agreement at the time of Adam's sin with God that he would give his soul as a ransoming sacrifice, actually his ever-living angelic soul. This was the basis of all of God's legal dealings with mankind thereafter. This was 'The Covenant', and his angelic soul is 'The Ark'. Had Jesus not made this agreement with God, then God would have been unable to make any agreement with us at all, because none of us would ever have had the capability of being his sons, because God's sons are angelic. God could not have lifted the death penalty on any of us in the absence of the ARC.

So all mediators between God and men are made possible by Jesus' master mediation which was of the agreement, the covenant that he made to come here and die for us, the ARC. It is all thanks to Jesus, the entire legal plan from God rests squarely upon his shoulders. And just as all sacrifices under the law of Moses pointed forward to his sacrifice, so all mediators of all covenants between God and his people point backwards to Jesus' agreement to mediate for all of us. He stepped in to save us from the murderous intentions of Satan at short notice when we needed him. And we still do need him. It's like the scripture says:

24 Then he favors him and says, Let him off from going down into the pit! I have found a ransom!...
29 Look! All these things God performs, 2 times, 3 times, in the case of an able-bodied man (Job 33)

These words were spoken by Elihu, Job's friend, who said that God favors man and says the above. But we deduce that this is in fact what God said when Jesus agreed to give his soul for us. And below is what Jesus said when God asked the angels who would do this for mankind:

8 And I began to hear the voice of Jehovah saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I proceeded to say: Here I am! Send me.
9 And he went on to say: Go, and you must say to this people, Hear again and again, O men, but do not understand; and see again and again, but do not get any knowledge. 
10 Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for themselves (Isaiah 6).

Isaiah is speaking as Jesus here. Jesus said: Here I am send me, to God. And when he came to visit us he quoted the rest of the scripture as prophesied (He quoted it in Greek, translated from Hebrew, and so the English translation of the Hebrew of Isaiah is not precisely the same as the English translation of the Greek translation of the Hebrew spoken by Jesus as recorded by Matthew!)

14 And toward them the prophecy of Isaiah is having fulfillment, which says: By hearing, you will hear but by no means get the sense of it; and, looking, you will look but by no means see. 
15 For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes; that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back, and I heal them (Matthew 13).

So when Jesus' parable states:

34 Then the king will say to those on his right, Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world (Matthew 25).

The preparation was his agreement to give his soul as a ransom, made at the founding of the world, which was Adam's sin. The apostle John says in Revelation, referring to the wild beast, which is the United Nations:

8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world (Revelation 13).

The lamb, Jesus, was slaughtered a long time after the founding of the world, but the agreement for his slaughter was part of that founding. The scroll of life was started at the founding of the world, which also was the beginning of death for Adam and his sons. Obviously a scroll of life is unnecessary before death becomes an issue. And this scroll was dependant on Jesus' agreement to ransom Adam. As St Paul says:

21 For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man.
22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive (1 Corinthians 15).

Moses is a typical example of how God deals with his people. When the sons of Israel agreed to obey the 10 commandments and the Law of Moses, God did not covenant directly with the sons of Israel, he covenanted with Moses, who covenanted with the sons of Israel. We are all made alive in Jesus, because all three covenants are part of the same redemption process. You may start with the PARC or the HARC, but either you end up in the ARC or you end up in Gehenna (for a long time).

System Mediators

The Master Mediators, Michael, Gabriel and Melchizedek, then form covenants with the Universal Mediators (Adam and his dad, Abadam). These then form covenants with System Mediators. A System Mediator is merely a man who makes a covenant with a Universal Mediator (in fact there are 9 System Mediators in all, 3 for each salvation covenant, and 3 for each of the pre-flood, peri-flood and post flood systems. All System Mediators need to be non adamic or need to be ransomed so as to be non adamic (actually they all need to be ransomed whether adamic or non adamic it would appear). Then the System Mediators make covenants with sub-mediators, who merely need to be born again. As regards the post flood system, the Abrahamic system, there were 9 covenants made between God and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we state these here, they are explained and proven from the scriptures later in this section:

With Abraham:
The 1AC, the 1st Abrahamic Covenant, the Abrahamic Faith Covenant, the AFC
The LCC, the Land and Circumcision Covenant
The 2AC, the 2nd Abrahamic Covenant, the Abrahamic Church Covenant, the ACC
The 3AC, the 3rd Abrahamic Covenant, the Abrahamic Angelic Covenant, the AAC

With Isaac:
The ILLC, the Isaaic Land and Circumcision Covenant
The Isaaic Church Covenant, the ICC
The Isaaic Angelic Covenant, the IAC

With Jacob:
The JLLC, the Jacobian Land and Circumcision Covenant
The Jacobian Angelic Covenant, the JAC

Abraham is the System Mediator of the PARC for the post Abrahamic system. The AFC, the covenant of Faith, the covenant of human resurrection into the kingdom of God for those who never join a true religion, is his main covenant.
Isaac is the System Mediator of the HARC for the post Abrahamic system. The ICC, the covenant of human resurrection as priests in the Kingdom of God for everyone who enters a true religion, is his main covenant.
Jacob is the System Mediator of the ARC for the post Abrahamic system. The JAC, the covenant of angelic resurrection into the Kingdom of God, is his main covenant.

One race does not need 3 fathers!

So now we finally know why one race, the Jews, needed 3 fathers. The ancestry of the Jews explains the salvation of the Christians. Abraham is the father of those with faith, Isaac is the father of those in the true religion, and Jacob is the father of those resurrected as angels. The order of progression is faith, truth, spirit. In fact the Macro Symbolism of the Patriarchs of the Jews is as follows:

Abraham

Father of all those with faith

Isaac

Father of all those with faith who get water baptized into the true religion 

Ishmael

Father of all those with faith who do not get water baptized into the true religion

Jacob

Father of all those with faith and with water baptism who get spirit baptized

Esau

Father of all those with faith and with water baptism who do not get spirit baptized

Jacob's children

The various calls into spirit baptism into the various subcovenants of the JAC

Jacob's 4 wives

Leah is the 1NC, Bilhah is the 2NCH, Zilpah is the 1NCH, Rachel is the 2NC

Isaac was non adamic - U506 and Sarah had stopped menstruating anyway. But Abraham and Jacob were adamic. In fact Abraham was ransomed by the non adamic human Jesus Christ, and Jacob was angelically ransomed by the associated angelic soul of the non adamic human John the baptist. Isaac was ransomed by the human soul of John the baptist (although we are not sure why this was necessary). 

15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death [of John the Baptist as a human, the mediator of the 1EC and the seemingly unnecessary validation sacrifice for the ICC] has occurred for [their] release by ransom [of Isaac] from the transgressions [not of the conscience but of the flesh] under the former covenant [the law subcovenant of the ICC], the ones who have been called [into the 1NC subcovenant of the JAC] might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance [this being the promise of the ARC] (Hebrews 9).

We had thought that Jesus validated the 1AC and John validated the 3AC. But one does not need two souls to ransom one man. Jesus validated the 1AC by ransoming its System Mediator, Abraham. John validated the JAC by angelically ransoming its System Mediator Jacob. John also validated the ICC by human ransoming Issac. The JAC is a main covenant and is a subcovenant of the ARC, and of the IAC which was a subcovenant of the 3AC. But the 3AC was not a subcovenant of the ARC; it was a promise that one of Abraham's seed would be a System Mediator of the ARC. Abraham was angelically ransomed by the ARC (through a system covenant with Arpachsahd presumably). In fact all of the angelic visits of Michael and Gabriel in non adamic humans, have to do with ransoming Adam or System Mediators in the pre flood system, the peri flood system, or the post flood system of Abraham. One can logically deduce that the ARC carried obligations on Michael to turn up in various non adamic bodies and die ransoming various System Mediators. And likewise the HARC did with Gabriel. Here is a diagrammatic attempt to explain the covenant tree of the ARC as it applies to the post flood system.

                        ARC (Master Covenant)
                           | 
                        3RC (Universal Righteousness Covenant)
                           | 
     3AC - IAC - JAC (System Covenant or Main Covenant)  
                           |       |       |       | 
                           |       |       |      1NC (First New Covenant - Leah - Heavenly Kings) 
                           |       |       |
                           |       |     2NCH (First New Covenant Helpers - Bilhah - Earthly Priests) 
                           |       |
                           |     1NCH (First New Covenant Helpers - Zilpah - Heavenly Priests) 
                           |
                          2NC (Second New Covenant - Rachel - Earthly Kings) 
                         

Here is an isomorphic diagrammatic representation of the Mediator family tree of the ARC as it applies to the post flood system. 

                            Michael (Master Mediator)
                                  | 
                            Adam (Universal Mediator)
                                  | 
Abraham - Isaac - Jacob (System Mediator)
                                  |       |       |      |
                                  |       |       |     Jesus (Mediator of the 1NC)
                                  |       |       |
                                  |       |      Paul (Mediator of the 2NCH)
                                  |       |
                                  |      Don't Know (Mediator of the 1NCH, possibly James the 2nd president of FDS2 - see [233])
                                  |
                                 Gordon (Mediator of the 2NC)

Please see sections [11] and [32] for a fuller explanation of these trees.

In this way every System Mediator is a new Adam, being non adamic either by birth or by an individual ransom in the form of a non adamic human validation sacrifice. He is also a 'son of man'. He is then clean to pass on the ransoming value of the ARC or the HARC to his kids by covenant. 

If a System Mediator was ransomed by the HARC directly, rather than by a personal validation sacrifice, then he would terminate that line of salvation. But being ransomed himself he can pass the salvation of the covenant on to a covenanted group, so he is the beginning of a line of salvation rather than the end of it. He is the originator of a family, rather than the last in a line of covenanted ancestors. He is a link in the chain rather than an end of the chain. Every member of the covenanted group is an end of the chain. System Mediators start a covenant for a race, just as Adam started a race. A System Mediator's salvation genealogy starts with him, not with someone above him in covenant genealogy. Abraham was ransomed by Jesus, Isaac was ransomed by John and Jacob was angelically ransomed by John, so that they could all start off their own families. Abraham started the family of all those who lived during and after him who are saved into the Kingdom of God in human bodies. Isaac started the family of true worshippers in this system who become human priests in the next. Jacob started the sub family of those of Abraham's sons who were to become heavenly kings and God's angelic sons.

The 3 Abrahamic Covenants and the Land and Circumcision Covenant (the 1AC, 2AC, 3AC and LCC)

The 4 covenants were made by God with Abraham as promises, so they are also referred to as 'the promises' in the scriptures. None of these 4 covenants can be subcovenants of each other because they all have the same mediator (Abraham). Neither are any of these 4 covenants further clauses in each other, because there must be at least three promises/covenants since St. Paul tells us...

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son] (Hebrews 11).

This shows that at least 2 promises had been made before God made the 3AC, which was made after he attempted to offer up Isaac. Since the covenants apply to 4 different groups (the genetic sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the main covenant sons of Abraham, the main covenant sons of Isaac and the main covenant sons of Jacob), there must be 4 covenants. God says as much...

24 In time God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 2).

42 And I shall indeed remember my covenant with Jacob, and even my covenant with Isaac and even my covenant with Abraham I shall remember, and the land I shall remember (Leviticus 26).

The Covenant of Exodus 2, with all three patriarchs, is the LCC, or 'the land' in the terms of Leviticus 26. 'My covenant with Jacob' is the main covenant of the JAC, 'my covenant with Isaac' is the main covenant of the ICC and 'my covenant with Abraham' is the main covenant of the AFC.

Covenants are not just boring biblical legal agreements, like the European Union regulations on cucumbers. They are the legal basis for God's dealings with mankind, which lead to his salvation, which is his resurrection into the Kingdom of God, or his survival through Armageddon (which is actually a living resurrection, called the rapture). They are the means by which God adopts us as sons, enabling us to have the two souls and the that Adam lost and his priesthood. 

We shall discover that God made a First Abrahamic Covenant (1AC), a Second Abrahamic Covenant (2AC), a Third Abrahamic Covenant (3AC) and a promised land and seed like dust of the earth and exclusivity on being God's people covenant with a circumcision obligation (LDEGPCC?), let's call this the Land and Circumcision Covenant, the LCC.

For the story of the 6 subcovenants of each of the 2AC, the 3AC, and the LCC please see section [32]. It is very important to realize that no group of men have any exclusivity on God, but the sons of the LCC were exclusively God's people for a time. One of the hardest things to get right in interpreting the scriptural statements of these covenants is the various meanings of the ambiguous phrase 'your seed'. Here are the meanings...

'Your seed' is a singular seed, such as a firstborn son to a father or a submediator to a System Mediator
'
Your seed after you' is all genetic descendants

'Your seed after you according to your generations' is the immediate descendant chain.

We must also remember that 'Abraham', to God can mean 'Abraham himself', or 'Abraham and his sons' depending on the context. 'Your seed' changes with time, being genetically Isaac, and then Jacob for example.

12 Then God said to Abraham: Do not let anything that Sarah keeps saying to you be displeasing to you about the boy and about your slave girl. Listen to her voice, because it is by means of Isaac that what will be called your seed [Jacob], will be (Genesis 21).

16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed, who is Christ (Galatians 3).

The words 'And to your seed' are in the Genesis 13 land promise to Abraham, the Genesis 26 land promise to Isaac and the Genesis 28 land promise to Jacob. So Paul is saying that the final seed as regards the land promise, the seed of Jacob as regards the land promise, is Jesus. So Jesus will be given the Promised Land. He does not have it now of course. But he is given it in 2008 after this system ends.

So here are the recitals of the patriarchal covenants in Genesis. They are understated in the extreme. They have no advanced publicity, no preceding media campaign, no fanfare, not so much as an introduction, and yet they are the foundation of the entire future of mankind. For this is the modus operandi of our God - no Oscar ceremony, no medal presentation, no orchestral chorus, no status enhancing procedure to impress women or to impress men or to impress the press, just true love:

With Abraham...
The Definition of the 1AC is simply Genesis 12:1-3, it has no additional clauses or subcovenants. 

1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Abram: Go your way out of your land (Cr)) and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the land (Cr)) that I shall show you; 
2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.
3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families
(
txp#m) of the ground/earth (hmd)) will certainly bless themselves by means of you [the 1AC] (Genesis 12).

7 Jehovah now appeared to Abram and said: To your seed [Isaac and his sons] I am going to give this land (Cr)) [under the LCC] (Genesis 12).

14 And Jehovah said to Abram after Lot had separated from him: Raise your eyes, please, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 because all the land at which you are looking, to you
[Abram and his sons] and [then] to your seed [Isaac, then Jacob, then Jesus - each new seed being defined by an LCC covenant subcovenant] I am going to give it until time indefinite.
16 And I will constitute your seed
[Isaac and his sons, then Jacob and his sons, then Jesus and his sons] like the dust particles of the earth, so that, if a man could be able to count the dust particles of the earth, then your seed could be numbered.
17 Get up, go about in the land through its length and through its breadth, because to you I am going to give it (Genesis 13).

5 Look up please to the heavens and count the stars if you are possibly able to count them. And he went on to say to him: So your seed [through the 3AC] will become (Genesis 15).

17 The sun was now setting and a dense darkness came and, look! A smoking furnace and a fiery torch that passed in between these pieces. 
18 On that day Jehovah cut/concluded/made/ratified/validated with Abram a covenant
[the LCC], saying: To your seed [Isaac and his sons, then Jacob and his sons then Jesus and his sons, each new seed being defined by an LCC subcovenant] I will give this land
(
(Cr)), from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.
19 the Kenites and the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites
20 and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Rephaim
21 and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Girgashites and the Jebusites (Genesis 15).

1 When Abram got to be 99 years old, then Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him: Walk before me and prove yourself faultless, 
2 And I will give my covenant
Every male of yours must get circumcised.
11 And you must get circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it must serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you (Genesis 17).

17 And Jehovah said: Am I keeping covered from Abraham what I am doing?
18 Why, Abraham is surely going to become a nation great and mighty [the sons of Israel], and all the
nations of the land/earth
(Cr)) must bless themselves by means of him

16 By myself I do swear, is the utterance of Jehovah, that by reason of the fact that you have done this thing and you have not withheld your son, your only one [I shall not withhold from you my son, my only one], 
17 I shall surely bless you and I shall surely multiply your seed [Isaac, then Jacob, then Jesus, then Paul, then the 1NCH mediator, then Gordon] like the stars of the heavens [3AC] and [Isaac, then Moses, then John, then Paul, then Russell, then Gordon] like the grains of sand that are on the seashore [2AC - adhere to the land, Gods true administration - 1AC has no extra clauses or subcovenants]. And your seed [each submediator of the 2AC and the 3AC] will take possession of the gate of his [singular] enemies. 
18 And by means of your seed [Isaac, Moses, John, Paul, Russell, Gordon]
all nations (
hwg) of the land/earth (Cr)) will certainly bless themselves due to the fact that you have listened to my voice

With Isaac...
3 Do not go down to Egypt. Tabernacle in the land that I designate to you. Reside as an alien in this land, and I shall continue with you and bless you, because to you (you and your sons) and to your seed (Jacob and his sons) I shall give all these lands (The whole promised land, the whole of Greater Canaan, displacing or having dominion over Ishmael and his sons who settled the place first), and I will carry out the sworn statement that I swore to Abraham your father.
4 And I will multiply your seed [of the 3AC] like the stars of the heavens. And I will give to your seed [Jacob and his sons, by displacement of dominion] all these lands [The whole promised land, the whole of Greater Canaan, displacing or having dominion over Ishmael and his sons who settled the place first and Esau and his sons who settled the place second]. And by means of your seed [Moses,
then John, then Paul, then Russell, then Gordon] all nations
(hwg) of the land/earth (Cr)) will certainly bless themselves [with the blessing of the 2AC],  
5 due to the fact that Abraham listened to my voice and continued to keep his obligations to me, my commands, my statutes, and my laws (Genesis 26).

24 And Jehovah proceeded to appear to him during that night and to say: I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, because I am with you, and I will bless you and multiply your seed on account of Abraham my servant (Genesis 26).

With Jacob...
13 I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land/earth upon which you are lying [he was at Bethel in what was to become the land of Ephraim, the son of Joseph, but this promise is for the whole promised land not just the land of Ephraim], to you [Jacob and his sons] I am going to give it and to your seed [Not Joseph, who through his son Ephraim got that particular bit of the promised land through his firstborn land inheritance, but Jesus as defined by Paul in Galatians 3, who gets it in the Kingdom of God].
14 And your seed [Jesus and his sons] will certainly become like the dust particles of the earth, and you will certainly spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south and by means of you [Jacob and his sons] and by means of your seed [Jesus and his sons] all the families
13 I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land/earth upon which you are lying [he was at Bethel in what was to become the land of Ephraim, the son of Joseph, but this promise is for the whole promised land not just the land of Ephraim], to you [Jacob and his sons] I am going to give it and to your seed [Not Joseph, who through his son Ephraim got that particular bit of the promised land through his firstborn land inheritance, but Jesus as defined by Paul in Galatians 3, who gets it in the Kingdom of God].
14 And your seed [Jesus and his sons] will certainly become like the dust particles of the earth, and you will certainly spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south and by means of you [Jacob and his sons] and by means of your seed [Jesus and his sons] all the families
13 I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land/earth upon which you are lying [he was at Bethel in what was to become the land of Ephraim, the son of Joseph, but this promise is for the whole promised land not just the land of Ephraim], to you [Jacob and his sons] I am going to give it and to your seed [Not Joseph, who through his son Ephraim got that particular bit of the promised land through his firstborn land inheritance, but Jesus as defined by Paul in Galatians 3, who gets it in the Kingdom of God].
14 And your seed
[Jesus and his sons] will certainly become like the dust particles of the earth, and you will certainly spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south and by means of you [Jacob and his sons] and by means of your seed [Jesus and his sons] all the families
(txp#m) of the ground/earth (hmd)) will certainly bless themselves [with the blessing of the 1AC due to their faith in the bible produced by the sons of Jacob and the Christian works produced by Jesus and his sons under the 3AC - this is not a subcovenant of the 1AC, the 1AC had no blessings for seed]
15 And here I am with you and I will keep you in all the way you are going and I will return you
[Jacob and his sons, but not 'your seed' which is Jesus and his sons] to this ground, because I am not going to leave you until I have actually done what I have spoken to you (Genesis 28).

10 And God went on to say to him: Your name is Jacob. No longer is your name to be called Jacob, but Israel will your name become. And he began to call his name Israel.
11 And God said further to him: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and become many. Nations
[Israel and Judah] and a congregation of nations [the sons of the 3AC] will proceed out of you, and kings will come out of your loins [the sons of the 1NC and the 2NC].
12 As for the land that I have given to Abraham and to Isaac, to you
[Jacob] I shall give it, and to your seed after you [Jacob's genetic descendants]
I shall give the land (Genesis 35).

One might think that the seed in Genesis 35 could be David, since he and Solomon became the Kings over the entire Promised Land. But the LCC provides either for displacement or total domination (slavery) by the seed and his sons over everyone else in the Promised Land. It is the case that the sons of Jacob dominated the Hivites; it is not the case the sons of David dominated the sons of Israel or displaced them:

20 As for all the people remaining over from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were no part of the sons of Israel,
21 their sons who had been left over after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had been unable to devote to destruction, Solomon kept levying them for slavish forced labor until this day.
22 And there were none of the sons of Israel that Solomon constituted slaves; for they were the warriors and his servants and his princes and his adjutants and chiefs of his charioteers and of his horsemen (1 Kings 9).

The blessing on 'all the families of the ground' through Abraham and through Jacob is the blessing of the 1AC, the AFC, the reward for true faith. The slightly less universal blessing on 'all the nations of the earth', through Abraham and through Isaac, is the blessing of the 2AC, the ACC, the blessing of all those who join a true religion, a true church. For this blessing occurred because: You/Abraham listened to my voice. And those who listen to the voice of God join the true church. And the true churches are the 'nations of the earth', where earth means God's administration. In fact, even in the literal meaning, 'earth' means 'true religious administration' in the patriarchal covenants. The salvation blessings of the 1AC and the 2AC are both a human resurrection into the Kingdom of God in an edenic (indefinitely lasting) human body. But the 2AC also provides entry to the true religion in this system and gives a priesthood in the next.

To see that the 1AC is a covenant of faith consider Paul's explanations in Galatians 3 in Romans 3 and in Romans 4. Here is Paul's explanation in Galatians 3 of the man with faith who was not said to be in a true religion:

6 Just as Abraham was faithful to the God, and it was counted to him as righteousness [this being what the PARC is all about].
7 Surely you know that those [who act] out of faith are the ones who are sons of Abraham
[through the 1AC].
8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous out of/due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: By means of you all the nations will be blessed
[paraphrased 1AC - nations are the families of the earth in a sense].
9 Consequently those [who act] out of faith are being blessed together with the faithful Abraham.
10 For all those who depend upon works of law are under a curse; for it is written: Cursed is every one that does not continue in all the things written in the scroll of the Law in order to do them.
11 Moreover, that by law no one is declared righteous with God is evident, because the righteous one will live by reason of faith.
12 Now the Law is not out of faith, but he that does them shall live by means of them.
13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.
14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham
[the blessing of the 1AC] might come to be by means of Jesus Christ [the human validation sacrifice of the 1AC] for the nations, that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.
15 Brothers, I am speaking in human terms: A validated covenant
[The 1AC validated by Jesus hanging on a stake and giving his human soul - a human illustration - a subcovenant of the PARC], though it is a man's, no one sets aside or attaches additions to it [like God did with LCC].
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed
[various individuals sequentially]. It says, not: And to seeds, as in the case of many such, but as in the case of one: And to your seed [who was Isaac in the case of Abraham and Jacob in the case of Isaac and Jesus in the case of Jacob, all relating to the LCC], who is Christ [today - Jesus gets the promised land in the next system].
17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God
[The LCC validated by the furnace and the torch in Genesis 15 before it was actually made unlike the 1AC, 2AC and 3AC which were validated after the covenant was made], the Law that has come into being 430 years later does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise [The law was a subcovenant of the 2AC. So the 2AC must have been promised to Abraham around 1943 BC. Presumably on 1943Nisan14, when he crossed the Euphrates, 430 years, Tishri to Tishri, before 1513Sivan3, when the law covenant was made].
18 For if the inheritance is due to law, it is no longer due to promise; whereas God has kindly given it to Abraham through a promise (Galatians 3).

Paul himself says in the next chapter that the law was made at Mount Sinai in Arabia (and therefore on 1513Sivan3), not in Egypt at the time of the passover (around 1513Nisan10) when the sons of Israel bowed low in acceptance of the passover festival statutes...

24 These things stand as a symbolic drama for these [women] mean two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar (Galatians 4).

Here is Paul's explanation in Romans 3:

22 Yes, God's righteousness through the faith in Jesus Christ, for all those having faith. For there is no distinction [between Jew or Greek, between true religion or false religion when it comes to faith].
23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom [paid] by Christ Jesus
[the non adamic human].
25 God set him forth as an offering for propitiation through faith in his blood
[the blood of the 1AC]. This was in order to exhibit his own righteousness, because he was forgiving the sins that occurred in the past while God was exercising forbearance,
26 so as to exhibit his own righteousness in this present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous the man that has faith in Jesus (Romans 3).


Here is Paul's explanation in Romans 4:

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 and whose sins have been covered
[under the 1AC, the AFC].
8 Happy is the man whose sin Jehovah will by no means take into account [spirit baptized into the 3AC].
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
[through the 1AC], in order for righteousness to be counted to them;
12 and a father of circumcised offspring
[through the Law into the 1AC - to get the happiness], 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.
13 For it was not through law that Abraham or his seed had the promise that he should be heir of a world, but it was through the righteousness by faith.
14 For if those who adhere to law are heirs, faith has been made useless and the promise has been abolished.
[through the 1AC],
17 just as it is written: I have appointed you a father of many nations. This was in the sight of the One in whom he had faith, even of God, who makes the dead alive and calls the things that are not as though they were.

So everyone who has true faith (or actually a good conscience) is in the AFC (the 1AC) under the PARC and has the first happiness of David through faith not works. These then are the sons of Abraham through his main covenant. Those of this group who act on true faith by joining the true congregation of God, which is the congregation of those who have gained entry to the 2AC, the ACC, through the ICC, are the sons of Isaac. They attain righteousness in the flesh through abstaining from bad works according to the rules of the true congregation. Those in the 1AC or in the 2AC can then go on to attain the second happiness of David, which is to have a clean conscience, to have all ones sins forgiven until time indefinite. Such people are born again and have gained entry into the 3AC (the AAC) through the JAC. These then are the sons of Jacob by covenant and the sons of Jesus the eternal father through the ARC. 

Just as Melchizedek presides over the entry of Gabriel into his host, who then presides over the entry of Michael into his host - U506 (although once, the first time, it went Melchizedek Michael Gabriel as it sometimes does with the PARC the ARC and the HARC). So Melchizedek mediated the master covenant of faith (PARC) and he provides entry to the true Christian congregation, who are the beneficiaries of the ransom of Gabriel, the master mediator of the covenant for all true religions (the HARC), through the main covenant of the second blessing of Abraham (the 2AC, the ACC). And the Christian congregation provides entry into God's family by being born again and gaining a new angelic body as a host for the spirit, this being the blessing of the 3AC, the AAC, through the JAC, thanks to the ransom of Michael under the ARC.

So this really is the largest understanding that the LWs have at this time. The prophetic drama enacted by Melchizedek, Gabriel and Michael, each time the three of them appear, is symbolically describing the detail of God's legal plan for man's salvation through the PARC, the HARC and the ARC or for those in the post Abrahamic system through the 1AC, the 2AC and the 3AC respectively. For example it was Simeon, who was Melchizedek, who presided over the entry of Gabriel into John the Baptist, and it was Gabriel in John's body who presided over the entrance of Michael into Jesus' body at his baptism - U506.

25 And, look! there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was righteous and reverent, waiting for Israel's consolation, and holy spirit was upon him.
26 Furthermore, it had been divinely revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Christ of Jehovah.
27 Under the power of the spirit he now came into the temple; and as the parents brought the young child Jesus in to do for it according to the customary practice of the law, 
28 he himself received it into his arms and blessed God and said... (Luke 2). 

Whereas Melchizedek said: Blessed be the most high God (Genesis 14:20).  

The 1AC covers faith outside the true religion, the 2AC covers all true religions

The Second Abrahamic Covenant, the Abrahamic Church Covenant, is the means for all men and women (who became 20 years old after the covenant came into force) officially to gain citizenship of the Kingdom of God, and is the legal basis of every true religion, from the time of Abraham until today. Abraham is effectively the Ambassador of the Kingdom of God on earth. He can grant us a visa to immigrate into that Kingdom, through his second covenant. Entrance to the 2AC (Second Abrahamic Covenant) is through baptism in water in the Christian congregation, and was through the 20th passover for the Jewish congregation. It is a cleansing of the flesh, a forgiveness of the sins in the past. This is why Genesis 24, the account of Isaac's marriage to Rebekah, and Genesis 26 which defines the ICC are all about water and wells.  'Water' is mentioned 18 times in Genesis 24 and 4 times in Genesis 26, and 'well' is mentioned twice in Genesis 24 and 7 times in Genesis 26. Paul says, referring to those in the first True Christian Congregation (TCC1)...

28 Now we, brothers, are children belonging to the promise the same as Isaac was (Galatians 4).

This promise was the 2AC, the ACC, the Abrahamic Church Covenant, that all the nations of the earth should be blessed through Abraham's seed, who was Isaac in this case. The ACC was a promise for the main covenant of Isaac, the ICC, the Isaaic Church Covenant. 

Zechariah, John’s dad, prophesied about his son saying:

70 Just as he, through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, has spoken
71 of a salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all those hating us.
72 To perform the mercy in connection with our forefathers and to call to mind his holy covenant, 
73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our forefather, 
74 to grant us, after we have been rescued from the hands of enemies, the privilege of fearlessly rendering sacred service to him 
75 with loyalty and righteousness before him all our days (Luke 1).

The holy covenant sworn to Abraham referred to here must involve 'forefathers' plural. It was the Second Abrahamic Covenant for a priesthood in the Kingdom of God (rendering sacred service fearlessly), through Isaac - U9. One cannot fearlessly render service to God in this system, because becoming a true Christian involves persecution which will of necessity involve an element of fear. Jesus confirms this saying:

38 And whoever does not accept his torture stake and follow after me is not worthy of me (Matthew 10).

Therefore this fearless service is occurring in the Kingdom of God after we have been rescued from the hands of our enemies, the chief one of whom is Satan. Our rescue from him is the battle of Armageddon, wherein Satan tries to kill us all because if he can't rule us then no one will rule us as far as he is concerned. This battle is the entrance into God’s kingdom which last’s 1,000 years during which time Satan is dead! Thank God one might say.

So the 2AC is the covenant by which the true people of God are officially given a new non ageing human body in the Kingdom of God and have a priesthood in that Kingdom under which they can render sacred service to God fearlessly. They get this honor because they render sacred service to him fearfully in this system in a true religion. So the 2AC is a subcovenant of the HARC mediated by Gabriel who 'Stands near before God' (Luke 1:19), and therefore is one serious priest!.

But in every nation on this earth there are the illegal immigrants. These people are in such a dire situation in their own nations or are so desperate, or so keen to advance themselves that they find a way into a new country without the proper papers. Nearly all the nations of this earth permit this to some extent, although it is a source of great public debate. God, who is certainly more merciful than human governments, also permits this. But of course he cannot condone unrighteousness, so there is a legal provision for these 'illegal immigrants' (illegal only in the sense that they never joined any true religion). This is actually the PARC and for the post Abrahamic system the 1AC, its subcovenant. The PARC provides entrance into the Kingdom for mislead believers, those who make themselves God's people by a sincere but misplaced or unfulfilled faith. They do want to gain entry to the Kingdom of God as all illegal immigrants do, but their faith either in humanity itself (which is a form of faith in God) which gives them a good conscience or their true faith, is not acted upon in such a way that they join a true religion if that is possible during the time that they live. Let us be clear about this, the test on mankind is a spiritual test. No one is saved who does not have some type of faith. For the existence and the development of faith is the spiritual test. For your faith reveals your hearts true desire.

These anabaptized believers are prefigured by the Sons of Israel in the LCC. Incidentally this book/site uses the term 'Jew' to mean a 'true' son of Abraham, 'true seed' through one or other of the Abrahamic covenants (as do the scriptures). Strictly a Jew is a citizen of the Southern Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of Judah, or a member of the tribes of Judah or Benjamin, the two tribes in the Southern Kingdom of Israel. 

The sons of Israel were a people all chosen by God, but they did not all get into the Kingdom of God. They were all in the LCC, but they were not all in the 2AC. Every Jew entered the 2AC at his/her 20th passover celebration. But to stay in the 2AC one had to keep the law of Moses, or at least make the right sacrifice when one did not. Most of the citizens of Israel failed to do this. But many of those who never stayed in the 2AC, by adhering to the Law of Moses as administered by the human priests in the temple, will still be saved. These ones were saved by the angels, who continually watched their faith and belief and works and permitted Satan to test them, and chose those who demonstrated the required qualities. These guys were invisibly saved. In this sense they are the illegal immigrants from the Jewish system. They were good guys but unrighteous. Good soil for hearts, good hearted, but not fine soil, which is righteous hearted - see [70]. Really they were the rough diamonds. The same is true today. The believers, who fail to join a true religion, are saved through the 1AC under the PARC. If you like, they follow after Winston Churchill, who declared himself to be more of a buttress than a pillar to the church. He supported it from the outside. No uncircumcised man could enter the 2AC until the conversion of Cornelius.

Today the 'Jew' is the believer (in God or mankind), and the 'Gentile' is the unbeliever, and the circumcision is no longer of the foreskin, but of the heart. It is as Paul said, referring to the 1AC:

25 Circumcision is, in fact, of benefit only if you practice law but if you are a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 If, therefore, an uncircumcised person keeps the righteous requirements of the Law, his uncircumcision will be counted as circumcision, will it not?
27 And the uncircumcised [person] that is such by nature will, by carrying out the Law, judge you who with its written code and circumcision are a transgressor of law.
28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written
code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God (Romans 2).

Paul wrote this after the LCC had been set aside, it had ended, in the sense that one could no longer enter it. But the 1AC did not end when circumcision ended. The LCC ended with the conversion of Cornelius, a Roman, in 36Tishri. The Law covenant ended when Jesus nailed it to the stake, in the sense Jews were no longer required to enter the Law covenant at that time, and in the sense that those in the Law could leave it through baptism into the 2AC, and in the sense the Law became a false religion. Although the Law was still in force over those circumcised ones and women who entered it before Jesus died, until the temple was destroyed in 70 CE by General Titus (unless these people chose to get baptized in the water baptism of John, which was their release from the law). After the LCC ended one could have Jehovah as one's God officially, without actually being a Jew, and the Jews lost their right to the promised land. Actually they were denied occupation of the promised land until 1917 through the curse of the law of Moses on Leviticus 26 - U121.

God's people then became the believers in the two new commandments of his son, namely that we should love God and love our neighbor as our self. God's people became simply the good guys, the loving guys, the two step thinking guys, the guys who act in the common interest rather than those who act in their own self interest. People who understand that the big picture affects the little picture. People who realize that our only hope as a community is to act in the interest of the community. For those who take the narrow path to salvation need broad vision or they will fall off it, whereas those who take the broad road to destruction need only have narrow vision and they are the majority in this system.

The 1AC is all about the circumcision of the heart, but this hidden covenant had a temporary physicalization in the LCC in the case of the genetic sons of Abraham. It is a subcovenant of the PARC and the 1RC

The 2AC covers all those who enter the true church (those who kept the law, or those who were water baptized into a true Christian church and kept the law of that church). It is a subcovenant of the HARC and the 2RC

The 3AC covers all those after Abraham who are born again, those who are baptized in holy spirit. It is a subcovenant of the ARC and the 3RC.

Not everyone who enters the 1AC gets saved, not everyone who enters the 2AC gets saved and not everyone who enters the 3AC gets saved. All three covenants involve an entrance, a test, and a pass or a fail. In the case of the 1AC and the 3AC the test is one of faith, and once you fail, by permanently losing your faith, as judged by the angels, you are finished, it's Gehenna for you. But in the case of the 2AC, the test is one of works, which are judged by men in a true religion. In the case of the 2AC, if you screw up, you get chucked out, but can come back in later, if repentant. So failure is not necessarily terminal. But a circumcision cannot be done twice!! Anything judged by men cannot be terminal. This is why the physical death penalty is not appropriate today; our legal systems are just not accurate enough for such a terminal penalty. The 2AC is the mechanism whereby men get a piece of God's salvation action, which is what a true religion is all about.

The Word Symbolism of the Land Promise of Genesis 13

14 And Jehovah said to Abram after Lot had separated from him: Raise your eyes, please, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 because all the land at which you are looking, to you
[Abram and his sons] and [then] to your seed [Isaac, then Jacob - each new seed being defined by an LCC covenant] I am going to give it until time indefinite.
16 And I will constitute your seed
[Isaac and his sons, then Jacob and his sons] like the dust particles of the earth, so that, if a man could be able to count the dust particles of the earth, then your seed could be numbered.
17 Get up, go about in the land through its length and through its breadth, because to you I am going to give it (Genesis 13).

In the word symbolism [land (1), dust (2), seed (3)], another seed becomes the greater dust particles (Edenic dust particles) and gets the same land (in the Kingdom of God). In the Kingdom of God one can see north, south, east and west, all over the whole planet! The promised land is not given to Jesus during this system, but it ceases belonging to the sons of Jacob when the LCC ends.

The nations destroyed when the sons of Israel took the Promised Land the blessing of the LCC

17 The sun was now setting and a dense darkness came and, look! A smoking furnace and a fiery torch that passed in between these pieces. 
18 On that day Jehovah cut/concluded/made/ratified/validated with Abram a covenant, saying: To your seed
[Isaac and his sons] I will give this land (Cr)), from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.
19 the Kenites and the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites
20 and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Rephaim
21 and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Girgashites and the Jebusites (Genesis 15).

When the sons of Israel took the promised land they destroyed 6 of these nations and the Hivites:

1 When Jehovah your God at last brings you into the land to which you are going so as to take possession of it, he must also clear away populous nations from before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations more populous and mighty than you are (Deuteronomy 7).

The Hivites were friendly to the sons of Israel and concluded a covenant with them to be their servants. The account is in Joshua 9. Here are some highlights:

7 At this the men of Israel said to the Hivites: Perhaps it is in our vicinity that you are dwelling. So how could we conclude a covenant with you?

15 And Joshua went making peace with them and concluding a covenant with them to let them live, and so the chieftains of the assembly swore to them.

17 Then the sons of Israel pulled out and came to their cities on the third day, and their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim (Joshua 9).

23 And now you are cursed people, and a slave's position and being gatherers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God will never be cut off from you (Joshua 9).

The Kenites, the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites (we presume) were also friendly to the sons of Israel:

6 Meanwhile Saul said to the Kenites: Go depart, go down from the midst of the Amalekites, that I may not sweep you away with them. As for you, you exercised loving-kindness with all the sons of Israel at the time of their coming up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from the midst of Amalek (1 Samuel 15:6).

Caleb, one of the two courageous and loyal spies was the son of Jephunneh a Kenizzite. Kadmonites do not appear to be mentioned anywhere else in the bible. The Rephaim, were not completely destroyed as a nation. Moses destroyed the Rephaim before the promised land was entered:

12 All the royal realm of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei he it was who remained of what was left of the Rephaim and Moses went striking them and dispossessing them (Joshua 13).

So the promised land was not all the land between the Nile and the Euphrates at all, it was merely the lands occupied by the 10 nations recited in Genesis 15. These lands presumably stretched from the Nile to the Euphrates.

1 And it came about after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah that Jehovah proceeded to say to Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses:
2 Moses my servant is dead; and now get up, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
3 Every place upon which the sole of your foot will tread, to you people I shall certainly give it, just as I promised to Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, that is, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun your territory will prove to be (Joshua 1).

Ishmael and Esau inhabited this land:

4 Then to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. Later to Esau I gave Mount Seir to take possession of it; and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt (Joshua 24).

17 And these are the years of Ishmael's life, 137 years. Then he expired and died and was gathered to his people. 
18 And they took up tabernacling from Havilah near Shur, which is in front of Egypt, as far as Assyria. In front of all his brothers he settled down (Genesis 25).

The wilderness of Shur is in the Sinai Peninsular somewhere. 'In front of' is meant in the sense of temporally before. So Ishmael settled the entire promised land before the seed of Isaac did. This settlement by Ishmael was in accordance with the LCC. But the ILLC changes things as we shall see.

Now Paul tells us by comparison with the 1AC, which was validated by God and does not have any additional or set aside clauses, that another covenant, which must be the LCC, has additional clauses and is later set aside entirely:

15 Brothers, I speak with a human illustration: A validated covenant, though it is a man's, no one sets [it] aside or attaches additions to it (Galatians 3).

The LCC was validated by God in Genesis 15, with a fiery furnace. The 1AC, which Paul is referring to by contrast was validated by Jesus and has no additions and is not set aside. Neither does the 3AC have additions, nor neither is it set aside. It appears that Ishmael and Abraham's non Jacobian seed, who had the obligation to be circumcised but had no law so they got some of the greater promised land (Edom etc) but they had no earthly administration (symbolic land) and hence they could behave like wild asses. But they too were God's covenanted people and he was their God until the LCC ended. After this they mainly became Muslims it would appear. There is no point in being circumcised and being a Muslim (or indeed in being circumcised any more since that covenant has ended). 

All scriptures were written by Jews

Jacob then Jesus are the two descendants/seeds in the 3AC, and of course the scriptures, every single holy word of them, were through Jesus and through Jacob:

1 What, then, is the superiority of the Jew, or what is the benefit of the circumcision?
2 A great deal in every way. First of all, because they were entrusted with the sacred pronouncements of God (Romans 3).

Summary

The three ransom provisions for mankind made in the PARC and HARC and the ARC are passed on to all men by the 3 righteousness covenant for their ransomees, the 1RC, 2RC and 3RC. Then in the post flood system they are passed on through the 1AC, the 2AC and the 3AC respectively. Those with true faith or a good conscience enter the PARC and the 1RC through the 1AC. Those who act on their true faith in the right circumstances enter a true religion which is the entrance into the 2AC, which is a subcovenant of the 2RC which is the universal righteous covenant of the HARC. Those who continue to act on their faith in the right circumstances are born again, by entering the 3AC which is a subcovenant of the 3RC which is the subcovenant of the ARC. One can be born again directly from the PARC without entering a true religion. But everyone who is sanctified in holy spirit, born again, does have to enter a true religion during their test and before they are sealed for everlasting life, being declared righteous in spirit. If a born again person does not find the true religion he finds Gehenna. 

The pre-adamics interbred sufficiently to become adamic as regards the covenants by the time that the LCC ended. The LCC is the covenant described by Paul as having additions and being set aside. The LCC was promised in Genesis12:7 a few months after 1943Nisan14, when Abraham crossed the Euphrates to put the first promise into force. This was 430 years before the law covenant was made on 1513Sivan3, so presumably it was promised in 1943Sivan.. 

The Legal Status of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Abraham himself is angelically ransomed by the ARC, and is human soul ransomed by the human body Jesus, the validation sacrifice for the 1AC. He mediates the human soul ransom of Jesus through the 1AC which is a subcovenant of the PARC.

Isaac was non adamic and needed no ransom. He mediates/fathers his edenic human soul to the sons of the ICC, which is a subcovenant of the HARC. He again is angelically ransomed by the ARC

Jacob is angelically ransomed by the associated angelic soul of John the baptist, the validation sacrifice of the JAC. He mediates the angelic soul ransom of the ARC through the JAC.

When God said: I am God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he meant that they were all three his sons as Adam was. 

The LCC ended with the conversion of Cornelius, Jesus will own the Promised Land in the Kingdom of God

We know that the LCC was to be 'set aside' since it is compared to the 1AC which is not set aside in Galatians 3. This obviously occurred when the first uncircumcised man became one of God's people, being baptized by Peter in water after the gifts of the spirit fell upon him and his house in the presence of Peter. This was the conversion of the Roman officer Cornelius in Acts 10, the apostle Peter said:

34 At this Peter opened his mouth and said: For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, 
35 but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him (Acts 10).

48 With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they requested him to remain for some days (Acts 10).

This marked the end of the LCC, which was an exclusive deal to be God's people for Abraham's genetic descendants subject to a fleshly circumcision. This is also referred to in one meaning of Daniel 9:

27 And he must keep [the] covenant in force for the many for one 7 and at the half of the 7 he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease (Daniel 9).

The seven here is 7 years from 29Tishri to 36Tishri, in the middle of which Jesus died and ended all valid sacrifices under the law of Moses.

 The First Abrahamic Covenant

Abraham was chosen by God to be the physical progenitor of the race of people to whom his son Jesus would be born. The race of people known later as the Jews. He was also chosen by God to be the mediator of the covenant (the biblical name for a binding agreement) between God and mankind through which all the families of the ground would bless themselves:

1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to Abram: Go your way from your land/country (Cr)) and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the land/country (Cr)) that I shall show you; 
2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.  
3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families of the ground/earth
(
hmd)
) will certainly bless themselves by means of you (Genesis 12).

This is an ambiguously written scripture. Obviously the ‘great nation’ were the sons of Israel in the literal meaning. But this scripture, since the word 'land' appears twice in it, has a greater word symbolic meaning by the Symbolic Structure Principle. There is a further fulfillment of a 'great nation' out of Abraham. This is the Great Crowd of Revelation 7:9 who are the survivors of Armageddon, the greater Exodus, not out of Egypt, but out of this system of things. 

The country that Abraham left was actually Mesopotamia. The country that God showed him was Canaan, the promised land. The account of this vital covenant is written very similarly to the account of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. It just look’s like God, for no apparent reason at all, arbitrarily decided that he was going to bless this chap Abraham to the limit. There are two questions therefore that are begging to be asked:

[1] Why did God choose Abraham in particular?
[2] What was this blessing that all the families of the ground would get through him?

The answer to the first question is seen by Abraham’s actions after he was chosen. He was a very spiritual man. When he was asked by God to kill his firstborn son Isaac, he reasoned that God could raise him from the dead so he went ahead with the request (although God stopped him at the last minute). It is important to realize that Isaac went along voluntarily out of love for God, love for his dad, and his own spiritual vision, so at the worst this was an assisted suicide. 

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son], 
18 although it had been said to him: What will be called 'your seed' will be through Isaac. 
19 But he reckoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead; and from there he did receive him also in an illustrative way (Hebrews 11).

Abraham used his powers of reason to see, with the eyes of his mind, things that were invisible. His sons today have the same foresight and hence the same faith, that God did raise another of his sons, Jesus, from the dead. St. Paul described Abraham as follows:

10 For he was awaiting the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which [city] is God (Hebrews 11).

The answer to the second question is found by the application of the Jigsaw Principle:

What is the blessing that all of the families of the ground would get from the 1AC and the Nations of the earth will get from the 2AC?

Well we already know the answer to these questions because the 1AC is a subcovenant of the PARC and the 2AC is a subcovenant of the HARC. But let us examine these blessings in more detail. The significance of God’s first covenant (sometimes called his first promise) with Abraham is described by St. Paul in Galatians 3:3-29. We only need to look at a few aspects of his explanation at this point:

7 Surely you know that those who adhere to faith are the ones who are sons of Abraham.
8 Now the Scripture, seeing in advance that God would declare people of the nations righteous due to faith, declared the good news beforehand to Abraham, namely: By means of you all the nations will be blessed (Galatians 3).

This blessing of all the nations, is the blessing referred to in the First Abrahamic Covenant. Parties to this covenant are called 'sons of Abraham'. So this blessing is a righteous declaration from God. When God declares a person to be righteous, then obviously his sin is forgiven, and so he is guaranteed a resurrection if he dies, or he is guaranteed to be spared at Armageddon. In fact, having been declared righteous by God he will receive the resurrection of the righteous: 

13 But when you spread a feast, invite poor people, crippled, lame, blind; 
14 and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones (Luke 14).

For God does not resurrect some righteous ones and forget to resurrect others. He resurrects all whom he has declared to be righteous. Paul goes on to explain that:

14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations, that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith (Galatians 3).

The blessing of Abraham is the resurrection into the Kingdom of God on earth through the 1AC and the PARC. 

As an example of the 1AC in action consider the repentance of Zaccheus:

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord: Look! The half of my belongings, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and whatever I extorted from anyone by false accusation I am restoring fourfold. 
9 At this Jesus said to him: This day salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham (Luke 19).

He was a son of Abraham physically before the day when he gave half of his belongings to the poor. He could not have become again a son of the Second Abrahamic Covenant by repenting and obeying the law of Moses, since the law lost water baptism power in 25Tishri. So his salvation was that he completed his test of faith under the 1AC. So being a party to the First Abrahamic Covenant (1AC) means that you gain salvation, which means that you have (an unofficial from a true religion standpoint) visa to enter the Kingdom of God, which means that either you will be resurrected into it if you die before Armageddon, or you will survive Armageddon. 

So now we can understand what St. Paul meant when he said:

29 Moreover, if you belong to Christ [he is your father, you are spirit baptized, born again], you are really Abraham's seed, heirs with reference to a promise [the 3AC] (Galatians 3).

Heirs of Jesus’ sacrifice are in Jesus’ will if you like, having the inheritance from his death, which is of course life, the second life, in the Kingdom of God. The promise in this case is the Third Abrahamic Covenant, because the blessing is through seed not through Abraham. But all of Abraham’s seed are:

‘Heirs with reference to a promise’

Those in the 1AC are heirs of the PARC and of Jesus' validation sacrifice (Jesus' human body died when he was impaled. This death validated the 1AC and bisected it - see [15]. They are heirs with reference to the 1AC promise.

Those in the LCC are heirs of the Abraham himself with reference to the land promise.

Those in the 2AC are heirs of the HARC with reference to the second promise.

Those in the 3AC are heirs of the ARC with reference to the third promise.

Abraham’s ‘sons’ through his 3rd covenant get the same blessing as Abraham himself got through his faith, namely they are living to God (i.e. they are dead to us but actually alive in angelic bodies but asleep awaiting a resurrection). Their angels look to God just like our children look to us in the middle of the night. For more on this - see [190]:

37 But that the dead are raised up even Moses disclosed, in the account about the thornbush, when he calls Jehovah 'the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.'
38 He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him (Luke 20).

All three are to be resurrected, because they are spiritually living to God (living as spirit creatures, living as sleeping angels), though physically dead to us.

In summary, those who enter the first Abrahamic covenant, and remain in it, are declared righteous (in the flesh) by God, and so are resurrected, and this means that they gain citizenship of the Kingdom of God on earth. Those who enter the 2nd Abrahamic covenant, and remain in it, are declared righteous in the flesh by God and gain citizenship of the kingdom of God on earth as priests. Those who enter the 3rd Abrahamic covenant, and remain in it, are declared righteous in the spirit by God and have everlasting life. All of these sons of Abraham enter the Kingdom of God (whether in heaven or on earth) by resurrection. Even those who enter it through Armageddon get a living resurrection, in the form of the rapture of 1 Thessalonians 4, when they are converted into angels without dying, on the fly, as it were. So being resurrected is how one becomes a citizen of the kingdom of God.

Abraham’s true seed by the 1AC, 2AC and the 3AC covenants are God’s true people, God’s true children, just as the sons of the LCC were:

Now that we have all 4 Abrahamic covenants in perspective, we see that a son of the 1AC, 2AC or 3AC is just as much a son of Abraham as a son of the LCC was. Of course the former are sons by faith and the latter are sons by genetics. But all 4 are sons by covenant, and that is the big picture. So a 'Jew' today, taking the term' Jew' to mean true child of God, which means a true Christian, is still in fact a son of Abraham just as the original Jews were, but by Covenant.

Le plus ca change the plus c'est la meme chose.

Paul then confirms that Abraham is the father of all of God's children saying:

16 ....He is the father of us all, 
17 just as it is written: I have appointed you a father of many nations (Romans 4).

This fatherhood is through the 1AC, the covenant of faith for us all. 

So 'Jew' just means any child of Abraham by any of his 3 covenants. Now we can understand Jesus' words in Revelation:

9 I know your tribulation and poverty--but you are rich--and the blasphemy by those who say they themselves are Jews, and yet they are not but are a synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2).

9 Look! I will give those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and yet they are not but are lying--look! I will make them come and do obeisance before your feet and make them know I have loved you (Revelation 3).

These scriptures do not refer to literal Jews, but to Abraham's true children, God's true people.

How does one enter into the First and the Second Abrahamic Covenants?

Abraham left Haran in Mesopotamia, and set off for the promised land of Greater Canaan, which extended from the Euphrates to the Nile (as we can see from the LCC). So when he crossed the Euphrates he did not validate the 1AC but he inaugurated it, since the promise was conditional upon him making that trip:

2 He said: Men, brothers and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he took up residence in Haran, and he said to him:
3 'Go out from your land and from your relatives and come on into the land I shall show you.'
4 Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and took up residence in Haran. And from there, after his father died, [God] caused him to change his residence to this land in which you now dwell (Acts 7).

2 And Joshua went on to say to all the people: This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, It was on the other side of the River that your forefathers dwelt a long time ago, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor,­ and they used to serve other gods.
3 In time I took your forefather Abraham from the other side of the River and had him walk through all the land of Canaan and made his seed many. So I gave him Isaac (Joshua 24).

17 The sun was now setting and a dense darkness came and, look! A smoking furnace and a fiery torch that passed in between these pieces. 
18 On that day Jehovah concluded with Abram a covenant, saying: To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15).

So the river of Joshua 24 was the Euphrates, the northern boundary of the promised land. Symbolically we are being told by Abraham's actions that one enters the 1AC by crossing a river, which is the symbolism of baptism. But God did not conclude the LCC with Abraham until after he had entered Canaan. So he entered Canaan and he inaugurated the 1AC in uncircumcision. So he was walking by faith without being in any kind of true Abrahamic religion at that time. He was in fact in the true religion that had Melchizedek as its priest as can be seen from Genesis 14.

18 And Melchizedek, King of Salem, brought out the bread and wine, and he was priest of the Most High God. 
19 Then he blessed him and said: Blessed be Abram of the Most High God. Producer of heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your oppressors into your hand!
At that Abram gave him a tenth of everything (Genesis 14).

Also we have no reason to believe that Abraham even got wet when he crossed the Euphrates. One imagines that he used a bridge for his household. So the 1AC is just entered into by having faith and permanently grasped by acting on that faith. This faith is not the faith of your homeland or of your relatives or of your father, it is your faith, unique to you. Most people choose the religion of their nation, or of their relatives or of their father. The true son of Abraham under the 1AC chooses the religion that he believes God is showing him. This does not have to be the true church in the case of the 1AC.

Now John the baptist on the other hand baptized people into the 2AC, the true religion. These people were already genetic sons of Abraham and therefore in the LCC.

7 When he caught sight of many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them: You offspring of vipers, who has intimated to you to flee from the coming wrath? 
8 So then produce fruit that befits repentance.
9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'As a father we have Abraham.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10 Already the axe is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, then, that does not produce fine fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 I, for my part, baptize you with water because of your repentance; but the one coming after me is stronger than I am, whose sandals I am not fit to take off. That one will baptize you people with holy spirit and with fire (Matthew 3).

John was raising up children to Abraham by baptism. Children through the 2AC into which he was baptizing but also through the 1AC for a baptism means faith so if you are not in the 1AC before you are water baptized, then you enter both covenants at once. The trees were the spiritual rulers, the spiritual feeders of the Jews, the Pharisees. For trees gave Adam food in the garden. Jesus explains:

16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. From then on the kingdom of God is being declared as good news, and every sort of person is pressing forward toward it (Luke 16).

12 But from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it (Matthew 11).

So John was starting a process through which men press forward into the kingdom of God and eventually seize it. John was producing 'stones'. Stones make up a temple, a temple of true worship. So this process is the baptism into the 2AC, the Abrahamic Church Covenant, the ACC, and then the completion of the baptism, the sealing, which is in fact a righteous decree or declaration from God in the flesh - see [12,13]. Because the 2AC is the only way to get the blessing of Abraham (officially), which is citizenship of the Kingdom of God. John was in fact producing dead stones, judicially dead, because none of them had yet been born again. Later Jesus built another temple with living stones, those who had been born again. 

5 You yourselves also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house for the purpose of a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2).

Unofficial salvation through the 1AC under the PARC

The Second Abrahamic Covenant is the true God’s way of granting a visa to allow immigration into the Kingdom of God. Those who enter into that covenant with God and do not break it are the 'legal' immigrants into the new system. There are also the 'illegal' immigrants if you like. Those who are saved by the angels on the basis of their faith or their conscience, or their love, or their distaste for the rotten things of the world without ever joining any true religion, for St. Paul has said:

14 For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law are a law to themselves.
15 They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused.
16 This will be in the day when God through Christ Jesus judges the secret things of mankind, according to the good news I declare (Romans 2).

15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous (Acts 24).

For more on the resurrection of the unrighteous see - Resurrection Timetables for the Kingdom of God.

It is very important to realize that one does not have to join any religion in order to be saved by God. In fact more are saved who have never joined a true religion than are saved who have. This understanding destroys the Catholic and the Jehovah's Witness and many other religions' scare tactics that you will burn in hell (Catholic - although they are dropping this tactic presently), or at least not be resurrected (JW) if you do not join us! Lies, lies lies! What man is there who can restrict the mercy of God? However if you deny his existence then how are you entitled to his mercy?

Technical note

The circumcised Jews in the LCC were automatically entered into the Second Abrahamic Covenant through the Law covenant at the passover in their 20th year once the promised land had been entered. Rather than being baptized in water, as a symbolic representation of being washed in the blood of Abraham, they were baptized with the blood of the passover lamb, one for each house, symbolically representing a washing with the blood of Moses. The priest for this baptism was the head of the household. Under law, having defiled one's flesh, i.e. broken one's baptism, one was washed again in the blood of Moses, which was symbolically represented through the blood of the animal that was sacrificed. John the baptist was achieving the same cleanliness through washing in water. Although both are just symbolic representations for a washing in the blood of a mediator, which is what a baptism is. John was actually washing people in the blood of Isaac, who was the validation sacrifice for the 1AC, Jehovah - Jireh (God will provide). He died of old age but was non adamic - see U506. John started baptizing 4 years before the human blood of Jesus was available. Those who left Egypt aged 20 years old or more were baptized into Moses by means of the cloud and the sea, this was a baptism into the name of Father Abraham too, since the Law of Moses was a subcovenant of the ICC and the 2AC. But those who failed to keep the law then fell out of the ACC.

The Date of the First Abrahamic covenant

For a full explanation of this Chronology - see [91]. The simplest way one can get to this date (that we are aware of) is by starting with either the date of the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in the 19th year of his reign, which was 586 BC, a date which is relatively undisputed amongst historians - see [99], and counting back to the first year of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, which was 607. We then use Ezekiel's prophetic 390 year siege of Jerusalem in Ezekiel chapter 4 to count back to the last year of Solomon in 997 - see [121]. 

We then count back to the first year of Solomon as being 1036 since he reigned for 40 years, so that his 40th was 997. Then we calculate that his 4th regnal year was 1033, and we use:

1 And it came about in the 480th year after the sons of Israel came out from the land of Egypt, in the 4th year, in the month of Ziv, that is, the second month, after Solomon became king over Israel, that he proceeded to build the house to Jehovah (1 Kings 6).

So the 4th year of Solomon was the 480th after the Exodus, so 1033 was the 480th year after the exodus so 1513 was the zeroth year after the exodus which is the year of the exodus. From this we deduce the original passover in Egypt, the last of the 10 plagues where the firstborn sons of every Egyptian man, and the firstborn or every beast of theirs died, was on 1513Nisan14 (30th March 1513 BC). (The passover is always on Nisan14, Nisan is the first month of the Hebrew year - see BLC). Actually it is quite amazing but the passover in the year 33 AD when Jesus died started at 6pm on March 31st Gregorian, and the BLC program can be up to 11 hours out in terms of Lunar phase data back at 1513 BC.

It can be up to 15 hours out in 1943BC and up to 2½ hours out in 33CE - http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase. The new moon was at 16:46 GMT according to Fred Espinak of Nasa on March 30th Julian or March 16th Gregorian in 1513BC. If we move it forwards by 11 hours, then it would be at 3:46 on March 17th GMT or 5:46 Jerusalem Time, and 30 hours later is 11:46 am on March 18th, meaning that Nisan1 would start at 6pm on March 18th so Nisan14 would start at 6pm on March 31st. So it is possible that both passovers were on the same solar day (March 31st)! 

We then consider the following chronological scriptures:

17 Further, I say this: As to the covenant previously validated by God (LCC), the Law that has come into being 430 years later (430 years after the land promise of Genesis 12) does not invalidate it, so as to abolish the promise (Galatians 3).

The passover but not the law came into being in Exodus 12, on 1513Nisan14:

24 And you must keep this thing as a regulation for you and your sons to time indefinite.
25 And it must occur that when you come into the land that Jehovah will give you, just as he has stated, then you must keep this service.
26 And it must occur that when your sons say to you: What does this service mean to you?
27 then you must say: It is the sacrifice of the passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel
in Egypt when he plagued the Egyptians, but he delivered our houses. Then the people bowed low and prostrated themselves (Exodus 12).

The bowing low was an implicit agreement. The full law was agreed initially on 1513Sivan3. So 1513Nisan14 was the birth of the Jewish passover, but the law was not agreed to as a covenant until 1513Sivan3 (18th May 1513 BC) after the ten commandments were given. So 430 years before this puts us in the years from 1944Tishri to 1943Tishri. Now Moses said at the first passover:

40 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel who had dwelt in Egypt was 430 years. 
41 And it came about at the end of the 430 years, it even came about on this very day, that all the armies of Jehovah went out of the land of Egypt (Exodus 12).

So since in 1513Nisan there was an exodus from Egypt that occurred after 430 years 'on this very day', we know that there was an entrance into Egypt in 1943Nisan14, on the same very day 430 years earlier, by the armies of Jehovah, which at that time was Abraham and Lot and their households. So presumably Egypt was ruling south of the Euphrates at that time in what was to become the promised land. Josephus, the Jewish Historian who was a contemporary of Jesus, counts the Abrahamic covenant as starting with Abraham crossing the Euphrates 430 years before the Exodus. But one can deduce this from the following scriptures too:

17 The sun was now setting and a dense darkness came and, look! A smoking furnace and a fiery torch that passed in between these pieces. 
18 On that day Jehovah concluded with Abram a covenant, saying: To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15).

2 And Joshua went on to say to all the people: This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, It was on the other side of the River that your forefathers dwelt a long time ago, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they used to serve other gods.
3 In time I took your forefather Abraham from the other side of the River and had him walk through all the land of Canaan and made his seed many. So I gave him Isaac (Joshua 24).

For more on this - see [100]. 1943Nisan14 was April 10th 1943 BC.

Technical note:

One can also deduce the date of the last year of Solomon by counting backward through the kings of Israel and Judah either from Josiah, whose last year we know was 608, which we deduce from the scriptures:

1 The word that occurred to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the 4th year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, that is, the first year of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; 
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke concerning all the people of Judah and concerning all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 From the 13th year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, and down to this day, these 23 years the word of Jehovah has occurred to me, and I kept speaking to you people, rising up early and speaking, but you did not listen (Jeremiah 25).

8 years old was Josiah when he began to reign, and for 31 years he reigned in Jerusalem (2 Kings 22:1).

Or we can count back through the kings to Solomon starting from the date of the fall of Samaria to Shalmanezer, known by historians (Cambridge Ancient History) to be in the year 723Nisan to 722Nisan.

Melchizedek's Bread And Wine

18 And Melchizedek, King of Salem, brought out the bread and wine, and he was priest of the Most High God. 
19 Then he blessed him and said: Blessed be Abram of the Most High God. Producer of heaven and earth.
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your oppressors into your hand!
At that Abram gave him a tenth of everything (Genesis 14).

Abraham gave Melchizedek a 10th of all things because the 2AC gives a 10th of mankind to the King of the Kingdom of God, the King of Peace, Melchizedek. The Bread and Wine were for the 1AC, the PARC, because the 2AC was not promised until Genesis 18. Melchizedek is said to have blessed Abraham and God and really everything except the bread and wine. But since he brought them out and since he was the priest, he would have blessed them too. The two of them celebrated the 1AC with all those present. This would have been done on Nisan14, for as we shall see in U15 Jesus celebrated the 1AC at the last supper. Abraham could take these emblems even though Jesus had not died yet, since the apostles also ate this bread and drank this wine before he died at the last supper and in theory at least he might have failed the test. 

_____________________________

Writer's Notes

Incidentally the 6 water jars into wine at Cana are those in the 2AC subcovenants of Isaac, Moses, and the 4 Elijah's.

PARC and HARC are the righteous decree in the flesh; the ARC is the righteous decree in the spirit (everlasting life). 

23 Not only that, but we ourselves also who have the firstfruits,­ namely, the spirit, yes, we ourselves groan within ourselves, while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release from our bodies by ransom [an angelic ransom actually of the associated angel of John the baptist, the validation sacrifice of the JAC for Jacob] (Romans 8).

13 For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh [being a cleanliness resulting from the true religion is  a baptism into the 2AC],
14 how much more will the blood of the Christ
[the blood of the ARC], who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to [the] living God?
15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death
[of John the Baptist as a human, the mediator of the 1EC and the seemingly unnecessary validation sacrifice for the ICC] has occurred for [their] release by ransom [of Isaac] from the transgressions [not of the conscience but of the flesh] under the former covenant [the law subcovenant of the ICC], the ones who have been called [into the 1NC subcovenant of the JAC] might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance [this being the promise of the ARC]
(Hebrews 9).

Jesus died to give everlasting life to Adam, so his Master Covenant imparts everlasting life and so entrance into it is the end of the test that a sanctified Christian undergoes. 

26 And to Seth also there was born a son and he proceeded to call his name Enosh.­ At that time a start was made of calling on the name of Jehovah (Genesis 4).

So if Enosh is 'Abraham' then his son Kenan is 'Isaac' and his son Mehalalel is 'Jacob'. This is a patriarchal society and these guys were all alive so things have to work like this. Jared was Melchizedek to start with. Noah, Shem and Arpachshad are the trio of the peri-flood system. Since Cainan was Melchizedek, who comes after the trio. You can baptize someone in the blood of a covenant before that blood arrives but you cannot give someone the blessing of the covenant until the blood of the covenant arrives. Jared ransomed Adam's Dad for the PARC. Because Adam senior was the real Abraham hence his 'seed' became Adam.

The Law was a subcovenant of the 2AC and the New Covenant, the 1NC, is a subcovenant of the JAC which is a subcovenant of the 3AC, the AAC

22 For example, it is written that Abraham acquired two sons, one by the servant girl and one by the free woman, 
23 but the one by the servant girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman through a promise.
24 These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these [women] mean two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother (Galatians 4).

So Hagar symbolized the law covenant and Sarah was the mother of the new covenant saints, i.e. the new covenant according to Paul. But neither the Law nor the 1NC were Abraham's wives. Rather the main covenant of the Law, the 2AC, and the promise for the main covenant (the JAC) of the new covenant, the 3AC, were the wives of Abraham. 

Paul is referring to the marriage of the Law to Abraham through the 2AC and the marriage of the New Covenant to Abraham through the JAC and the 3AC, which was the promise for the JAC. 

It was possible to be declared righteous by God by means of the law of Moses:

13 For the hearers of law are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous (Romans 2).

This happened in the cases of Zechariah and Elizabeth, John the baptist's parents:

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there happened to be a certain priest named Zechariah of the division of Abijah, and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 They both were righteous before God because of walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah (Luke 1).

So since people under law were being declared righteous, they were getting the blessing of Isaac for those in the true religion, since the true religion was the law at the time, so the law was a subcovenant of the 2AC. The blessing of Isaac is a resurrection into the Kingdom of God on earth as an edenic human priest. It is the blessing of Gabriel, the blessing of Methuselah, the blessing of the HARC. It is the same from a salvation standpoint as the blessing of Abraham, the blessing of the 1AC, which is the blessing of Melchizedek, the blessing of Jared, the blessing of the PARC. The righteous decree in the spirit, the resurrection into the Kingdom of God in heaven, the resurrection as an angel, is the blessing not of Abraham, but of Michael through the ARC by way of his seed, Jacob (JAC) and of Jesus (1NC). 

The New covenant was a sub covenant of the 3AC which was a promise leading to the JAC, the main covenant for being born again. For the full story of Genesis 16 and Galatians 4 see [210].

But really, how could the Jews have so many covenants and the Christians have only one??

The Second New Covenant, The Covenant of Keturah and of Rachel

Sections to read first: 1 to 10

On the night before his death, Thursday night, March 31st 33 AD (Gregorian), Nisan14 according to the BLC, Jesus celebrated the passover meal with his 12 apostles. The passover meal was a celebration, a festival of the Jews; it was not a commiseration or a funeral service. It was inaugurated on the night of the last plague of Egypt, the 10th plague (1513Nisan14 or 30th/31st March 1513 BC). This plague killed the firstborn son in every household of the Egyptians, but passed over the household of every Jew who celebrated it. After the Jews left Egypt, God made a covenant with them called the Law Covenant, or the Law of Moses. Moses was the mediator of this covenant. His mediation was that God made a covenant with Moses and then Moses made a covenant with the sons of Israel:

27 And Jehovah went on to say to Moses: Write down for yourself these words, because it is in accordance with these words that I do conclude a covenant with you and Israel (Exodus 34).

1 These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to conclude with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab aside from the covenant that he had concluded with them in Horeb (Deuteronomy 29).

At the last supper Jesus made a new covenant with eleven of his apostles (Judas left after the meal and before Jesus made the new covenant). His mediation was that God made a covenant with him for a kingdom and he made a covenant with the 11 for that kingdom:

29 And I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom (Luke 22).

As we saw in section [10], the Law covenant is a subcovenant of the 2AC and the New covenant is a subcovenant of the 3AC and the JAC. Paul is referring to subcovenant marriages to Abraham through their superior covenants in Galatians 4. Hagar is the Law, Sarah is the 1NC, and these two women are married to Abraham through the 2AC and the JAC/3AC respectively.

But was the New covenant the last covenant to be made between God and his people, Abraham's true seed, before Armageddon? In this section we consider 5 ways of seeing that there were to be more subcovenants of the 2AC and of the 3AC/JAC made after the law and the new covenants. These are:

[1]    The wording of Jeremiah 31:31-33

[2]    The Symbolism of Keturah, Abraham's third wife

[3]    The Symbolism of the wife of Lot. 

[4]    One race does not need three fathers

[5]    The symbolism of Rachel, Jacob's 4th wife

Jeremiah 31:31-33

The new covenant itself takes its name from the prophecy of Jeremiah:

31 Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;
32 not one like the covenant that I concluded with their forefathers in the day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they themselves broke, although I myself had husbandly ownership of them, is the utterance of Jehovah.
33 For/But this is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel after those days, is the utterance of Jehovah. I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people
34 And they will no more teach each one his companion and each one his brother, saying, 'Know Jehovah!' for they will all of them know me, from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, is the utterance of Jehovah. For I shall forgive their error, and their sin I shall remember no more (Jeremiah 31).

In an unprecedented re-iteration, this whole covenant recital is repeated by Paul in Hebrews8:

6 But now he has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 For he does find fault with the people when he says: Look! There are days coming, says Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant,
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their forefathers in [the] day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, so that I stopped caring for them, says Jehovah.
10 For this is the covenant that I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says Jehovah. I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I shall write them. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people.
11 And they will by no means teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying: Know the Lord! For they will all know me, from [the] least one to [the] greatest one of them. 
12 For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore.
13 In his saying a new [covenant] he has made the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away (Hebrews 8).

Since Paul has recited the whole thing again Verbatim, with a few explanatory notes, we should consider every word in this scripture very carefully.

The first thing to realize is that normally agreements are made on one day, not on two days. How many times has the reader signed an agreement made on the blank day of blank? You fill in the date of the agreement. One hardly ever fills in two dates for an agreement. Only when a further clause is added at a later date would there be two dates involved in an agreement. 

Now the new covenant itself was made on one day, namely 33Nisan14, the day of the last supper. But God says:

Days (plural) are coming when he will make a new covenant with two houses. Since the new covenant was made only on one day, there must be a further day of covenant making, and therefore a further covenant in addition to the new covenant. 

But things do not stop there, because the new covenant was not made with the literal houses of Judah and Israel. It was made with Gentiles too. Therefore God is using the house of Judah and the house of Israel more generally here. Now the New covenant saints are to be kings in the heavens and we know that the Kingly line belongs to the tribe of Judah, and we know that Jerusalem was in Judah. So the new covenant, begin royal, was made with the greater house of Judah. So we have found a further new covenant that is made with a greater house of Israel on a separate day to the new covenant.

But neither do things stop here, because we then read that God will make a covenant not with two houses, but with one house, the house of Israel, and he will make it 'after those days'. After which days? Well certainly not after the day (singular) of his taking hold of the hand of their forefathers to bring them out of Egypt, since that day is singular. So he makes this covenant with the house of Israel after the days upon which he makes the two covenants with the greater houses of Judah and Israel of verse 8. So now we have 3 covenants, one with a greater house of Judah, and two with greater houses of Israel. 

Pause for thought

These two further new covenants are so incredibly significant from a theological standpoint, that we are going to deduce their existence all over again [read it all again or rewind the video]. They mean for one thing that there has been or will be more than one true Christian church.

They mean that the Catholic assertion, that there is a true religious line from Peter to today is wrong. The Catholics are indeed the true descendants of the first Christian church, FDS1, which was a church of the first new covenant, they do trace their ancestry to Peter, yes, but the church which Peter was the first president of actually fell in 67Tishri - see [40], [41].

The missing 4th new covenant

For symmetry there is likely to be a 4th new covenant that is not explicitly mentioned in the literal meaning of Hebrews 8. It is made with a second house of Judah, and it relates to the second house of Israel (for one cannot have an Israel without a Judah). It will be a royal covenant since it is with a greater house of Judah.

Now many religions (including the JWs) know that the New covenant saints are to be Kings in heaven and that 'some other Christians will end up on earth' in the Kingdom of God after Armageddon in a second Eden, in an earthly paradise that lasts for 1,000 years. The JWs have ‘The Abrahamic Covenant’ as saving these ones. We know the true God does nothing without a covenant. For Moses said of him:

4 The rock, perfect is his activity, all his ways are justice (Deuteronomy 32).

But we must not be naive about this sort of thing. If God has heavenly kings over the kingdom of God then he will also have earthly kings. And if his heavenly kings have a covenant then so will his earthly kings have a covenant. Since this earthly covenant will be a royal covenant, it will be made with a greater house of Judah. So really we have 4 new covenants, made with a heavenly Judah, a heavenly Israel, an earthly Judah and an earthly Israel.

Furthermore it is apparent from the administrative structure of the physical nation of Israel that there was a King who had princely deputies and administrators and subjects and that there was a high priest who had Aaronic Priests under him who had levitical priests under him who had the people under their care. We know that our Lord combined the two offices of King and Priest, for the house of God is not divided and there is no real authority anywhere on earth or in the heavens apart from Jehovah. So we would expect to find a King/Priest a group of royal aaronic priestly administrators and a group or non royal, levitical, priestly administrators and subjects in the Kingdom of God, since God's works are fractal. But this Kingdom is split in two into an earthly and a heavenly part, just a Jerusalem itself was split by the two mountains of Zion and Moriah. For its very name means 'foundation of twofold peace'.

So imposing the Pattern of God's physical people onto both the heavenly and the earthly halves of the Kingdom of God we get a King, a Royal priesthood covenant, a priesthood covenant and subjects upstairs, and the same thing downstairs. The new covenant is the royal priesthood covenant for the heavens. The two covenants with the greater houses of Israel are the two covenants for the non royal priests of the heavens and of the earth. The missing second covenant with the house of Judah is the covenant for a royal priesthood on the earth in the Kingdom. Pictorially we have the following:

Heaven

Earth

King and High Priest (Jesus)

King and High Priest (Melchizedek)

Royal Priesthood (First new Covenant saints, first house of Judah, 1NC)

Royal Priesthood (Second New Covenant saints, second house of Judah, 2NC)

Non Royal Priesthood (First new covenant helpers, first house of Israel, 1NCH)

Non Royal Priesthood (Second New Covenant helpers, second house of Israel, 2NCH)

Subjects

Subjects

We call these 4 covenants the 1NC, the 2NC, the 1NCH and the 2NCH. The Helper/Priestly covenants are made with Israel and the royal covenants are made with Judah. 

The Word Symbolic Meaning of Hebrews 8

The literal meaning has given us 3 new covenants and has hinted at a 4th. In the Word symbolic meaning of Hebrews 8, the new covenant is the 2NC, which is actually made with two houses on two days. It was made with Gordon for the house of Judah, the 144,000 earthly kings on 1992Elul16, we call this the 2NC (k), for 2NC Kings, and it was made with Gordon for the house of Israel, the earthly priests (further 2NCH saints like the sons of Bilhah) in 1995Elul (Genesis 25, 16 sons from Keturah as wife, and 1 Chronicles 1, 13 sons from Keturah as concubine), we call this the 2NC (a), for 2NC administrators. We have in the past incorrectly called the 2NC (a) the Great Crowd Covenant, the GCC. The covenant made after those days, with the house of Israel is actually the 2BRC, the second born rapture covenant, the covenant of Lot's second daughter of Genesis 18 - U154. Incidentally those saved by the 2BRC include the Zoar Class, which is everyone in the 1AC but not the 2AC or 3AC who survives Armageddon. The 1BRC and the 2BRC (the two daughters of Lot) offer salvation through an angelic soul and are therefore subcovenants of the ARC. Manasseh is the 2NC (k) saints in the Watchtower; Ephraim is the 2NC (a) saints from the world and Benjamin is the Great Crowd. The Great Crowd is everyone who is raptured by the two rapture covenants.

Jesus is the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant than the law in the literal meaning (the 1NC), and Gordon is the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant that the law in the word symbolic meaning (the 2NC).

Keturah, Abraham's 3rd wife

St. Paul describes the first two wives of Abraham, Hagar, and Sarah, as standing symbolically for the Law Covenant and the New Covenant. He is literally telling us that Genesis 16, the account of these wives, is written in a symbolic code - see [Bible Code] (although in Genesis 16, Sarah is the 2AC and the 3AC in the two word symbolic meanings - see [210]). However, we do not need to employ the bible code to deduce the existence of a further covenant after the New covenant; we just have to follow the symbolism explained by St. Paul and apply it not to Genesis 16 but rather to Genesis 25. 

1 Furthermore, Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah (Genesis 25).

Keturah was initially a slave of Abraham, but she finally became his wife (Hagar was given as Abraham's wife, but is not said to have become his wife; rather she is still referred to as the maidservant of Sarah). Now one might think that God is condoning procreative sex outside marriage here. But one forgets that Abraham owned Sarah as his wife, and Sarah owned Hagar as her maidservant, so Abraham owned Hagar as his wife's maidservant. So Abraham had obligations to look after Hagar and their children, through the agreement/mechanism of slavery or servanthood. So his actions with Hagar were not irresponsible or sinful. 

So Abraham's 3rd wife Keturah must stand for a further covenant in addition to the Law (Hagar) and the New Covenant (Sarah) if we follow the symbolic interpretation of Paul. Now since we know that there are no new covenants before the Law of Moses or before the new covenant itself, this further covenant must come after the new covenant. So we call it the second new covenant. In fact nowhere in the scriptures, neither in Jeremiah, in Hebrews or in Luke, is what churches call the new covenant ever referred to as the new covenant. It is always referred to as a new covenant. It is only the cup of the new covenant itself that Jesus calls 'The new covenant'.

20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22).
25 He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11).

31 Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant (Jeremiah 31).
6 who has indeed adequately qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, not of a written code, but of spirit; for the written code condemns to death, but the spirit makes alive (2 Corinthians 3).
8 for he does find fault with the people when he says: Look! There are days coming, says Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant (Hebrews 8).
13 In his saying a new [covenant] he has made the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away (Hebrews 8).
15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has occurred for
[their] release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, the ones who have been called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance (Hebrews 9)
24 and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel's [blood] (Hebrews 12).

If 'the' new covenant is merely 'a' new covenant, then there is at least one further new covenant. It is as simple as that. We can find out a bit about the covenant of Keturah from the next verses of Genesis 25:

2 And she bore to him (Corrected - NWT) Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan became father to Sheba and Dedan, And the sons of Dedan became Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah.
All these were the sons of Keturah.
5 Later on Abraham gave everything he had to Isaac, 
6 but to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had Abraham gave gifts. Then he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still alive, eastward, to the land of the East (Genesis 25).

That’s 16 sons, although Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim could be generic plural names for the sons of Asshur, Letush and Leum. However Dedan himself obviously only had the 3 sons. Actually Hebrew men did have plural names on occasion, for example Kittim, Dodanim, Mizraim and Mizraim's 7 sons: Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim and Caphtorim (Genesis 10). Also Muppim and Huppim were sons of Benjamin and Hushim was a son of Dan (Genesis 46).

However these 3 names: Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim leave us with an ambiguity. But the holy spirit uses ambiguities to say something, for it is very aware of its own ambiguities, they are not mistakes, they are not oversights, they are designed ambiguities. Consider the other appearance of Keturah in the bible:

32 As for the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine, she gave birth to:
Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah
And the sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan
33 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah
All these were the sons of Keturah (1 Chronicles 1).

The sons of Dedan with the plural names are missing!! Here we only have 13 sons of Keturah as a concubine but we have 16 sons of hers as a wife! So basically Abraham married Keturah after giving him the 13 sons mentioned above and then had 3 more sons, these being Asshurim, Letushim and Leummim. But this further procreative arrangement of Keturah being Abraham's concubine stands for a further covenant which since she is not a wife but a slave has a dependency on one of the other covenants. In other words it is a slave covenant of one of the other covenants which was made after Sarah, the new covenant, and before Keturah was actually married. But since the same woman Keturah was both a slave and a wife, this slave covenant must be slaving for the covenant symbolized by Keturah as a wife, i.e. the second new covenant. So we have found a second new covenant with a further slave covenant made in advance of it, but after the first new covenant.

What is this covenant of Keturah and who is it between?

The Hebrew word for Keturah is hrw+q and is from the root r+q which means either:

  1. Incense or sacrificial smoke

         ii.           Knots, difficult questions   (Ben Davidson Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon)

God used to enjoy the smoke rising from sacrifices made to him:

20 And Noah began to build an altar to Jehovah and to take some of all the clean beasts and of all the clean flying creatures and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar.

21 And Jehovah began to smell a restful odor, and so Jehovah said in his heart: Never again shall I call down evil upon the ground on man's account, because the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up; and never again shall I deal every living thing a blow just as I have done (Genesis 8:20,21).

But sacrifices ended with Jesus' sacrifice before the covenant of Keturah was made. So the meaning for the covenant which she symbolizes must be the difficult questions and knots. This meaning does not relate to the more difficult questions in trivia game shows, it is the difficult questions and knots in the bible, many of which are tackled in this website/book. Today Jehovah gets pleasure from our consideration of the difficult questions and knots in his holy book. Holy posers is what he has given us. This is a restful thing for our God, however, superficial, lobotomized devotion to a meeting time or a meeting place or a doctrine or a religious leader, on the other hand, is not a restful thing to him.

5 Later on Abraham gave everything he had to Isaac, but to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had Abraham gave gifts.
6 Then he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still alive, eastward, to the land of the East (Genesis 25).

Abraham gave the sons of Keturah gifts, and he sent them away from Isaac his son (by Sarah) eastward, to the land of the east! Whilst he was still alive. So before the Abrahamic covenant ends we know that the sons of Sarah and the sons of Keturah will be split up. The sons of Keturah who go eastwards to the land of the east are going to Eden, the new Eden, the Kingdom of God on earth. So these sons are the last congregation of true Christians who carry on to the end and gain entry to the Kingdom of God, the second Eden. 

The gifts are the modern day gifts of the spirit, which are basically the likes of the things in this work, which are deduced by untying knots, as the Queen of Babylon recognized in the case of Daniel the prophet:

12 Forasmuch as an extraordinary spirit and knowledge and insight to interpret dreams and the explanation of riddles and the untying of knots had been found in him, in Daniel, whom the king himself named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel himself be called, that he may show the very interpretation (Daniel 5).

For there was a prophet who said:

28 And after that it must occur that I shall pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will certainly prophesy. As for your old men, dreams they will dream. As for your young men, visions they will see (Joel 2).

And Peter at Pentecost in 33 AD explained that the 'tongues as if of fire' (Acts 2:3), which plainly relate to a decoded biblical knowledge of the details Armageddon...

3 And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed about, and one sat upon each one of them, 
4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak with different tongues, just as the spirit was granting them to make utterance (Acts 2).

was a fulfillment of the words of Joel above which he quoted as follows:

17 And in the last days, God says: I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams; 
18 and even upon my men slaves and my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days and they will prophesy (Acts 2).

But having quoted it himself he makes it the holy word again. And so there is to be a further fulfillment to Acts 2:17, 18 in the last days not of the physical Jewish system of things but of the World itself. And here it is!! Here they are the gifts from God. And as a result of these gifts the following situation will pertain:

12 And they will by no means teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying: Know Jehovah! For they will all know me, from [the] least one to [the] greatest one of them.
For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore (Hebrews 8).

Now if there is a newer covenant then there is a newer messenger of that covenant and a newer mediator of that covenant. In the case of the Law covenant, the Messenger was Moses, who came down from the mountain with the tablets, and the Mediator was Moses, for God said:

27 Write to you namely the words, the these, because upon account of the words, the these, I made with you covenant, and with Israel (Exodus 34 NIVHEOT).

1 These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to conclude with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab aside from the covenant that he had concluded with them in Horeb (Deuteronomy 29).

For the newer mediator is the covenanter (indirectly) with God actually through Michael and Abraham. Through Abraham because all the families of the earth will bless themselves through him, and any blessings follow from covenants with God. And through Michael because God saying: and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore, means that those in the covenant have the gift of a clean conscience, which means that they are in the ARC. Paul said:

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2).

This statement does not preclude Moses from being a mediator. It precludes Moses from mediating directly between God and men at the time 1 Timothy was written. Jesus is the master mediator of the ARC. Abraham and Moses were master covenanters or sub mediators of various master covenants.

19 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator (Galatians 3).

6 But now [Jesus] has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises (Hebrews 8).

If Jesus was also the mediator of a (correspondingly better) covenant, then Moses too was a mediator. So Behold how great this man Jesus is, for he is not only a prince of princes and a Lord of Lords and a King of Kings, but also a mediator of mediators!

Likewise in the case of the New covenant the messenger was Jesus, and the Mediator was Jesus for he himself said:

29 And I make a covenant with you just as my father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom (Luke 22).

And Paul said:

6 But now [Jesus] has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second (Hebrews 8).

Again not 'the' second covenant, but 'a' second covenant.

15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has occurred for [their] release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, the ones who have been called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance (Hebrews 9:15).

Again not 'the new covenant', but 'a new covenant' - see [13]. And Malachi cries out at the end of the old testament:

1 Look! I am sending my messenger, and he must clear up a way before me. And suddenly there will come to his temple the [true] Lord, whom you people are seeking, and the messenger of the covenant in whom you are delighting. Look! He will certainly come, Jehovah of armies has said (Malachi 3:1).

The literal fulfillment of this was Jesus Christ. The messenger and mediator of the new covenant. So likewise with the Second new covenant, the messenger will be the mediator. You have just been given the Message.

Technical Note on cups and covenants:

Gordon first informed the Watchtower about the second new covenant on 1993Adar17, in a letter to them about the forthcoming memorial which he wanted to partake of in a different way (He was mistaken about partaking in that memorial). James and John, the sons of Zebedee prefigure two new mediators of two further new covenants:

23 He said to them: You will indeed drink my cup, but this sitting down at my right hand and my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my father. 
24 When the 10 others heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers (Matt 20).

38 But Jesus said to them: You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup which I am drinking, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized?
39 They said to him: We are able - (Amen!)
At that Jesus said to them: The cup which I am drinking you will drink, and the baptism with which I am being baptized, you will be baptized. 
40 However this sitting down at my right or at my left is not mine to give, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.
41 Well, when the 10 others heard about it, they started to be indignant at James and John (Mark 10).

The '10 others' are the ten watches of spiritual Israel in FDS1 and FDS3 - see [34], [35], [36]. James is Paul and John is Gordon here. And both Paul and Gordon drink a cup which represents a new covenant between God and each of them through Jesus and Abraham, for they are brothers in Jacob, sons of the JAC. For Jesus accepted a cup:

17 And accepting the cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves (Luke 22).

20 This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood (Luke 22).

Jesus’ cup was not merely to drink his own blood but rather to pour it out to his father for the sake of all of us, and for the sake of Adam in particular. Hence he prayed in Gethsemane:

36 And he went on to say: Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want (Mark 14).

This cup that Jesus asked to be removed from him was the cup of the ARC through which covenant Jesus would die as an angel and go to Tartarus initially. And he did not want to drink it (who would), but he did it. He did it for God and for Adam and for Adam’s sons. This was the greatness of his sacrifice! Total selflessness. Now since the cup of Jesus was a covenant, the ARC, and since both James and John also drink the cup which Jesus drinks, they are symbolically standing for two other new covenants, which are subcovenants of the ARC. These are the 2NC and the 2NCH.

Remember the wife of Lot

Before Jesus died he left us with the haunting words: 'Remember the wife of Lot. The context of his words was:

29 But on the day that Lot came out of Sodom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 The same way it will be on that day when the Son of man is to be revealed.
31 On that day let the person that is on the housetop but whose movable things are in the house not come down to pick these up, and the person out in the field, let him likewise not return to the things behind.
32 Remember the wife of Lot (Luke 17).

Jesus is telling us here that the day of the destruction of Sodom by fire is an archetype for the day when the son of man is revealed. But quite obviously the day of the destruction of Sodom by fire from heaven symbolically represents the day of the fiery destruction of Armageddon. From this we can deduce that the son of man (Jesus) is revealed during the 'day' of Armageddon. 

19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8).
This is referring to the same revealing, of the son of man and the sons of God.

What is this 'son of man' the reader might ask? Well, a son in biblical times was a means of continuing your seed. Now Adam, having been sentenced to death, was no longer able to continue seed who were sons of God, like he was. But Jesus, having ransomed him, was now able to procreate in the way that Adam had lost the capability of doing. So Jesus can now provide judicially living children for Adam, and therefore is his 'procreative son'. But Adam means 'man' in Hebrew. So Jesus, the procreative son of Adam is the procreative son of 'man' i.e. the son of man. Jesus was the son of 'Adam before he sinned' in this sense. We covered this in section [7] on the ransom. Jesus having ransomed Adam earns the Fatherhood rights that Adam would have had, had he not sinned.

We have seen above from Paul's inspired interpretation of the symbolic meanings of Hagar and Sarah, Abraham's wives, in Galatians 4, that wives can stand for covenants in the scriptures. So Lot's wife could stand for a covenant too, following the inspired leading of Paul, although we are effectively using the Symbolic Structure Principle of the bible code here. In the account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19, God sent two angels to Sodom and they saved Lot and his two daughters and his wife leading them out of Sodom by their hands. God told Lot and his family:

17 And it came about that, as soon as they had brought them forth to the outskirts, he began to say: Escape for your soul! Do not look behind you and do not stand still in all the District! Escape to the mountainous region for fear you may be swept away! (Genesis 19)

Now Lot's wife did not listen to this admonition:

26 And his wife began to look around from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt (Genesis 19).

It is important to understand that this occurred in the literal meaning. A God who can resurrect Lazarus, a man who had been dead for 4 days, a God who can part the Red Sea, who can kill all of the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, man and beast in one night, such a God would have no problem in dehydrating one woman. But there is a symbolic meaning to all of this, following the lead of St. Paul or from the Symbolic Structure Principle of the Code. Lot survived the destruction of Sodom with his two daughters as humans.

Lot, his wife, his two daughters, the two angels and the inhabitants of Zoar and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah stand for angels and people and groups of people at Armageddon - U154. Briefly:

Lot is the administration of FDS4
Lot's wife is the LWs, all of whom are individually subject to the administration of FDS4
Lot's wife becoming a pillar of salt is the disfellowshipping of the LWs who lose their 2AC capability but retain their 1AC capability when Jesus vomits them out of his mouth in 2007Elul. At this time their water baptism ends, so they become dehydrated into salt, but they remain the true religion, hence they are a pillar (holding up a temple) and they still preserve flesh (1AC capability) as salt does.
The two angels are Melchizedek and Michael; saving the LWs through the PARC and the ARC (the LWs have lost their water baptism under the HARC).
Zoar is all those in the 1AC who were never in the LWs (the good guys from Christendom and from Babylon)
Sodom is Christendom with Lot in their gate, judging them
Gomorrah is non Christian false religion (the rest of Babylon).
The firstborn daughter of Lot is the 1BRC for sons of the 3AC
The second born daughter of Lot is the 2BRC for sons of the or the 1AC but not the 3AC
Lot's sons in law are intended administrations for those raptured (i.e. people who think they will run the Kingdom of God)
Wine given to Lot: The blood of the 1BRC on the first night of incest and the blood of the 2BRC on the second night.
The men of Sodom trying to have intercourse with Michael and Melchizedek (but not Gabriel), is their trying to enter the PARC and the ARC illegally.

19 All the holy contributions, which the sons of Israel will contribute to Jehovah, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as an allowance to time indefinite. It is a covenant of salt to time indefinite before Jehovah for you and your offspring with you (Numbers 18:19).

But not only to them, there was also such a covenant given to David and his sons:

5 Is it not for you to know that Jehovah the God of Israel himself gave a kingdom to David over Israel to time indefinite, to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt? (2 Chronicles 13:5).

So there are two covenants of salt one to Moses and one to David. Lot's wife is some kind of a greater covenant of salt because the offices of king and priest were combined at Jesus' death. For he has become our high priest and our king.

One race does not need 3 fathers!

It is a simple observation. The physical sons of Israel had three fathers, namely, Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), Isaac, and Abraham. This is quite obviously symbolizing 3 races of people, in the greater meaning. So there are 3 main categories of Abraham's greater seed. These are the sons of the 1AC, the sons of the PARC, the sons of Abraham, and the sons of the 2AC, the sons of Isaac, the sons of the HARC, and the sons of the 3AC, the sons of Jacob, the sons of the ARC. So there are three types of God's people, those with faith, those with a water baptism and those with a spirit baptism.

The 4 wives of Jacob

We have discovered from Jesus' words, that John and James were mediators of two further new covenants, drinking the same 'cup' that Jesus 'drank'. In fact it is not hard to see that the two robbers impaled or crucified either side of Jesus, two men who certainly died the same death as him, also prefigures the two further mediators of two further new covenants. We also know that Keturah was both a slave and then a wife, so she represents two new covenants. So as things stand we have 3 new covenants in all.

Covenant

Cup

Crucifixion

The new heavenly covenant Sarah

Jesus

Jesus

The new earthly slave covenant Keturah as slave

John

Left hand robber

The new earthly covenant Keturah as wife

James

Right hand robber

We do not know how you, the reader, feel about these two extras at Jesus' death. What were they doing there? This is the singular most important event in the whole of the history of man, since Adam's sin, and we have two co-stars being nominated in the category of best supporting crucifixion. Why on earth would God countenance such a thing? What was the relationship between these 3 deaths? Well it is described above in one meaning... 

We know that Keturah was a slave before she became a wife, and she had kids for Abraham after Sarah did. So the order of these 3 covenants is as above. But is there any advance on 3? This is where the big picture begins. Can you think of a descendant of Abraham who had at least three wives??

The answer is Jacob; he had four, two free and two slaves. So far we have 3, two free and one slave, so there is one more slave covenant, a slave covenant to the new (heavenly) covenant.

Genesis 30 tells us that the order of procreation from Jacob, who stands for Jesus here, was as follows:

Sons

Wife/Maid of Jacob

Wife/Maid of Abraham

Covenant

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah

4 sons of Leah

Sarah

New covenant (1NC)

Dan, Naphtali

2 sons of Bilhah (Rachel's slave)

Keturah as slave

New earthly slave covenant (2NCH) second new covenant helpers

Gad, Asher

2 sons of Zilpah (Leah's slave)

Hagar (Sarah's slave)

New slave covenant (1NCH) First new covenant helpers

Issachar, Zebulun

2 further sons of Leah

Sarah

New covenant (1NC)

Joseph, Benjamin

2 sons of Rachel

Keturah as wife

New earthly covenant (2NC) second new covenant.

Here, Hagar and Sarah without Keturah symbolize the Law and the New covenant. But with Keturah, Hagar symbolizes another slave covenant, for she was Sarah’s slave.

Now you can see a very, very, important thing. There is a gap in the procreation of Leah. This is a gap in the new covenant saints. In fact this gap was 1800 years long, or '5 times' of no new covenant saint baptism, see - [The Times Principle], [Intermission Times]. This is more or less the gap between the two presences of the Christ. He is present in body through his bride who is the new covenant saints as a group. But when there are no new covenant saints around, he is absent. You can also see 5 true Christian peoples (as regards spirit baptism), although we only have 4 true Christian religions as we understand it (from 4 Elijah's with 4 baptisms into the 2AC). In fact Bilhah and Zilpah were in the same religion, FDS2 - see [34]. John and James prefigure the mediators of Bilhah and Rachel, who were Paul and Gordon. We do not know who mediated Zilpah at this point. 

Technical note:

The more inquisitive reader might be asking: "Fine so what do all their sons symbolize?" The answer is: Calls to be baptized into the various covenants. Reuben was the call to the men of Judah to be baptized into the new covenant; Peter was the first of these, baptized after Jesus came down from the 40 days in the wilderness. Simeon was the call to the proselytes to be baptized into the new covenant, which was made at Pentecost 33 CE (Acts 2:5-10). Levi was the Samaritan call (Acts 8) and Judah was the Gentile call (Acts 10). These 12 sons are the 12 pearl gates of heavenly Jerusalem, which are 12 calls to be baptized into 4 covenants.

21 Also, the 12 gates were 12 pearls; each one of the gates was made of one pearl. And the broad way of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass (Revelation 21).

The validation sacrifice for the second new covenant John the baptist, it is a covenant for half a kingdom, the earthly half, as Herod Antipas said to Herodias' daughter.

Now that we have grasped the fundamentals of God’s Covenants, we must address what we must do to become part of these covenants and if we don’t, what effect it may have on our salvation.
