July 24, 2005 journal, the 2 Israel’s to be rejoined by the new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah 31:27-37. I quote from the Kingdom Digest August issue 2005. "The Holy Scriptures in their book form are divided into two sections, the Old Testament and New Testament, or the Old Covenant and the New Covenant identical and interchangeable. The first tells of a covenant made by God with the children of Israel 3 months after the exodus from Egypt. It is known as the Mosaic covenant-because Moses was its mediator. Jewry was not in existence when it was made. Was subsequently broken by the house of Jacob. One of the consequences of this violation was the punitive captivities which befell the 2 such respective sections of the people after its division, then known as the House of Judah and the House of Israel, the southern and the northern kingdoms. Jewry was not in exist-ence when the division took place. Some centuries later God announced his intention of making a new covenant with both sections and thus renewing the broken off relationship. This announcement is found in Jeremiah 31:27-37. Note that it is a communication to both houses, that is, it is ultimately to include the whole house of Jacob in its scope. But in the detailed description of what was to be embodied in the New Covenant there is a significant omission. It is not stated what is to be the nature of the Covenant to be made with the House of Judah-only that to be made with the House of Israel, the major portion of the House of Judah is outlined. The subsequent rejection of the Messiah by the Jewish section of the House of Judah gives the reason for the omission. History now bridges an intervening period of some 700 to 800 years and resumes the story thread after the advent of Christ. A New Testament writer picks up the thread and quotes verbatim the statement made through the prophet Jeremiah. This is recorded in the Epistle to the Hebrews 8,1-13. Vital implication of this has for some inexplicable reason been overlooked by the majority of Bible expositors, and as a consequence the salient point has been entirely neglected. If any statement in the Bible is unequivocally explicit and clear, it is that the New Covenant is made with the same people as the Old, namely, the House of Israel. The vital omission is again included in the citation. There can be no mistake as to what is implies or included in this New Covenant with the House of Israel. Here we see emerging the early beginning of world Christianity vested in Israel. Hebrews 9 and other chapters leave no doubt what-ever about this. Here is the New Covenant of which Christ is the mediator and which therefore bears His Name, henceforth to be known as the Christian or Christ Covenant, as the former bore the name of Moses its mediator. We are faced with the accomplished fact of the mediation of the Christian Covenant, under which those with whom it is made be-come the Christian people of the latter days". The House of Israel refers to the British and American people while the House of Judah refers to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin in the land of Palestine. Jeremiah 31:27 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the House of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 28-And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord. 29-In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30-But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape. 31-Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Judah: 32-Not according to the covenant that was made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;” To be continued.
