Introduction to Covenant

Matthew 24:4 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

Many of the text was adapted from "Chosen People", by Don Esposito

The Covenant was given 3800 years ago to Abraham...a promise to all the coming generations of the twelve tribes of Yisrael.

One Truth I learned is that not all Israeli's are Jews, and many people today do not even know that. The Jews are only the tribe of Judah and Benjamin. The rest of the tribes were spread around the world, as prophesied.

Yishrael means to persist with YHWH.

The gentiles/"goyim" gets grafted into the olive tree (Yishrael), when they believe int he Hebrew Messiah and decide to stand in covenant with the Father.

Gal3:29 "And if you are Messiah's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."

Thus Y'HWH does not become a gentile God!!! But you become an Yishraelite! A child of Abraham according to the Promise.
To be called gentile, means you are a heathen, now how can you be a heathen if you are a child of Messiah?

Eph2:11 clearly states: "Wherefore remember, that you being in time past gentiles in the flesh"
