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 FULFILLMENTWHERE FULFILLMENT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN LITERALLY FULFILLED, NOT “SPIRITUALLY”.

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)

AS A MAN HE WAS TEMPTABLE; AS GOD HE WAS IMPECCABLE.

PERIOD #3THE EARLY MINISTRY

JESUS GOES THROUGHOUT THE LAND PREACHING AND WORKING MIRACLES SO THAT ALL KNOW THAT MESSIAH HAS COME.

First Disciples First Miracle Conversation with Nicodemus Conversation with Samaritan woman

PERIOD #4:THE GREAT GALILEAN MINISTRY

LASTED ABOUT ONE YEAR SOME OF HIS GREATEST SERMONS

WERE PREACHED (e.g. the Sermon on the Mount).

GREAT NUMBERS OF MIRACLES WERE WORKED.

HIS POPULARITY REACHES ITS PEAK. OPPOSITION FROM THE RELIGIOUS

LEADERS BEGINS TO GROW.

MATTHEW 12MATTHEW 12THE GREAT REJECTIONTHE GREAT REJECTION

Rejection had been “brewing”. Sabbath “work” becomes proof that

Jesus is not from God. 12:22---the miracles (not unusual) 12:23---the crowd response. Their

question expects a negative answer. 12:24---the Pharisee’s explanation. 12:25-45---Jesus’ response and defense

of Himself. A CRUCIAL MOMENT!!!
