BETHLEHEM & GOD’S PURPOSE FOR US COMPLETE, UNHINDERED FELLOWSHIP FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD FAITHFUL BELIEVERS RULE WITH KING JESUS RULING THE PLANET AS CO-RULERS BETHLEHEM PARADISE RESTORED (No more curse/New Heaven and Earth) LIVING IN A PERFECT PARADISE GOD ENTERS INTO A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM Genesis 1-3 Rev. 20-22 The “seed of the Woman” would solve the problem

Kings Apostles Adam Noah Prophets Old Testament New Testament

  4. LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THE COVENANT • HAS THE COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM BEEN FULFILLED? • Most of it has NOT been fulfilled. (Points where it has been fulfilled, it has been fulfilled literally). • LAND. Israel has never possessed and occupied the land as the covenant requires. • KING/SEED. The son of David has not ruled ‘forever’ on David’s throne over Israel and the world. • SALVATION (“New” Covenant). Israel, as a nation has never believed in Jesus as Messiah/Savior/King • COVENANT FULFILLMENT WHERE FULFILLMENT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN LITERALLY FULFILLED, NOT “SPIRITUALLY”.

  5. CONSIDERING THE NEW COVENANT (1) The New Covenant is based on the death of Christ (Matt. 26:27-29; Luke 22:20). (2) It was made with JUDAH/ISRAEL and not the Church. (The Church is not Israel). (3) In the future, Israel will come into it (Rom. 11:25-29). This is the primary purpose of the “Tribulation.” (4) At the time of Christ’s death and resurrection it replaced the Old/First covenant which was given at Mt. Sinai (Heb. 8:7; 10:9). (5) The Church was unknown to the OT prophets but gentile blessing was always known. (Gen. 12:3; 18:18) (6) Believers today are a seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:16, 29). But the Church is not the fulfiller of the Covenant but is rather a “partaker” of it. (Rom. 11:11-17)
