was a strong agreement and commitment between two leaders representing different groups of people. These two are the โcovenant representativesโ.
In the โcutting of a covenantโ there was a ceremony where an animal was cut into two pieces, then the pieces were separated by a short distance on the ground. The covenant representatives would then walk among the pieces getting the animalโs blood on their shoes and clothes while reciting the terms of the covenant to each other. They would also say to each other โIf I ever break this covenant by not upholding and remaining faithful to my promise, let what has happened to this animal happen to me.โ Death was the penalty for breaking the terms of the covenant.
So long as the representatives kept the covenant, all under them experienced peace. But if the representatives broke the covenant and go to war, all those under them subject to the covenant are also at war. It doesnโt matter what the subjects do, itโs all about what the covenant representatives do.
All who are under their leadership were subject to the representative upholding the terms of the covenant. If the representatives remained at peace with each other, then those represented by them were also at peace. This is where the concept of a โpeace treatyโ comes from.
A covenant is a lifelong commitment. The terms of the covenant were in effect until the death of one of the representatives. Death was also the penalty for breaking the covenant. Death was the only way to be released from the oath and obligation of the covenant.
There are therefore two paths to the exit from a covenant, breaking it or keeping it. But both paths lead to Death.
@canon75gaz81 Izlam is a lie. Izlam is in direct opposition to the Bible.
Mohammed is a false prophet and Allah is a demon.
If you believed in Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus then you should be a Christian.
Izlam murders Christians.
@canon75gaz81@annamlulis So in other words, your salvation is totally dependent on your own behavior.
If youโre interested, check out my pinned post (thread) on my profile. I think youโll find things explained in a way that most people donโt.
@canon75gaz81@annamlulis Youโre thinking of the False Prophet of Revelation 13 who forces worship to the Mahdi who ascends from the bottomless pit and receive his mark of 666.
Just as the Feasts are rehearsals for how God is going to change eternity for mankind, Baptism is a rehearsal for how God changes our individual eternity.
After Baptism weโre to rehearse our walk in eternity with God.
Let that sink in.
@alexxelizabeth2 Bottomless pit.
From the center of the earth there is no down (bottomless). All directions are up.
This is where Apollyon comes out of in 9:11.
On this day of immense sorrow, I stand with Israel.
I stand with those mercilessly slaughtered by Hamas, in an unprovoked and inexcusable act of (actual) genocide.
I stand with the families who keep alive the memories of their loved ones.
I burn with anger when imagining the sheer terror the victims endured.
I am overwhelmed with disgust at the blood lust, monstrous brutality and hatred depicted in videos of Hamasโ crimes.
I swell with pride when I read stories about the many acts of heroism among the victims, staring down the faces of evil.
I regret that I cannot contribute personally to the utter annihilation of Hamas.
I stand by Israelโs right to defend itself until every Hamas leader and solider is dead or unconditionally surrenders.
I stand by Jews around the world who have been threatened by radicals and activists, who fan the flames of antisemitism through lies.
I state with clarity that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, and remind all that the General Assembly of the United Nations blessed the creation OF A JEWISH STATE through Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947.
So, Israel has a right to exist AS A JEWISH STATE.
And I denounce every single public figure who cannot say these things clearly and unambiguously, including @ZohranKMamdani.
