In the Greek, the same word (diathēkē) can be translated as either ‘testament’ or covenant’, so we need to look carefully at the context to determine what it should be. Hebrews 9:16 shows us that the word “covenant” can also be translated, “Testament” since the same word is used to indicate that because the death…

Jesus and his disciples were celebrating Passover when they had the Last Supper, recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. There Jesus said, “this is the blood of the new covenant” (Mt 26:28). The KJV translators chose the word “testament” over “covenant”, though in this context, it should probably be translated as “covenant”. This was celebrated…

The language of the New Covenant tells us that those who are parties to it will not need anyone to teach them to know God. They will all know Him from the least to the greatest (Jer 31:34; Heb 8:11).   God will teach them directly.  Also during that time, no one will be a prophet. …

Gal 6:16  And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.  Paul uses Abraham Isaac and Jacob…

Hebrews 7 tells us that God declared a decree in Psalm 110 to the seed of David that He would be a priest forever according to the order Melchizidek. Hebrews 8 argues that since according to the Aaronic priesthood you had to be of Levi to a be a priest (and Christ is of Judah),…

Ezekiel and Hebrews show that as part of the New Covenant, Israel will have new hearts, and God will write his laws on their minds and hearts. Ezekiel 36:24-28; Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 10:16; However, the New Testament, and the book of Hebrews are full of exhortations to deal with the heart. Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 10:22-23;…
