Jesus and The New Covenant!
Let us begin by referring back to last Sunday’s broadcast. Here, we see clearly that Melchizedek, the priest of God, visited Abram and offered him the eternal sacraments of salvation—bread and wine, which fully validated Jesus’ death for us in the eternal past.
By Melchizedek offering the bread and wine to Abram, we see that the spiritual redemption of man in the eternal past was successful and conclusive. This reality may come as a shock to many of us!
Personally, I doubt whether the 6 Acts of Redemption that Jesus did for us has ever been taught correctly. Indeed, from the eternal past until the eternal future, Jesus performed God’s complete plan of redemption (see diagram pictured below for reference).

GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 1:
- I believe it was shocking to learn that Abram received righteousness from God and was truly born-again. This is confirmed in Galatians 3:8, where Paul tells us that God preached the gospel to Abram, whereafter he responded by faith and received righteousness, thus becoming FULLY born-again.
- This same salvation of Abram is the same way in which we receive salvation by faith, which causes us to become Abram’s spiritual seed. This is in accordance with the promise which God made to Abram when he first received righteousness. God said, “in you, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,” so we receive the same righteousness by faith which Abram received by faith.
- Of course, the reality of righteousness in the Old Testament is not entirely new. In chapter 5 of God’s Gold & Glory Revolution, we dealt with this issue, entitled “Righteousness In Ancient Times” (see pages 108–112). It is vitally important for us that when we learn new spiritual truths from God’s Word, we replace ALL the lies of antichrist Christianity with TRUE Christianity once we receive these truths.
- Unfortunately, so many people who received God’s Gold & Glory Revolution might not have correctly studied it with Holy Spirit. This book is filled with expansive and revolutionary Christian truth. The purpose of this book is to bring New Testament and apostolic truth to the true remnant of the Church, pertaining to all these great wonders of God throughout the ages. But I know in my heart that every true remnant believer will go back to God’s Gold & Glory Revolution and our other books to be regularly instructed by Holy Spirit and receive progressive and continuous revelation!
- Talk about shocking…it is truly an eye-opener to learn that Abram received 4 powerful promises of redemption from God…ALL OF THAT BEFORE God EVER made the covenant with him. This is so contrary to the traditional FALSE teachings of antichrist Christianity!
- These atrocious teachings tell us that everything Abram received from God was received through the covenant and circumcision. Let us consider, in sequence, the following 4 great redemptive promises which Abram received from the Lord prior to God making the covenant with him.
-
- God called him to move to the country of promise (Genesis 12:1-4).
- Abram received a personal visit from the priest of God, Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20).
- Abram is promised an innumerable nation of offspring (Genesis 15:1-5).
- God preached the gospel to Abram (Galatians 3:8), then he believed God and became righteous, which made him born-again unto eternal life (Genesis 15:6).
-
- JESUS IS THE NEW COVENANT.
- JESUS IS THE NEW TESTAMENT OF ETERNAL SALVATION.

GOLD & GLORY FLASHPOINT 2:
- Now, the $64,000 question…When did the new covenant begin, and when does it end? Is there ever a conclusion to the new covenant?
- The new covenant of Jesus began when He became the Lamb of God who died for us in the eternal past! At that time, Jesus became humanity in His spirit man BEFORE He could become the sacrificial Lamb of man—and then be sacrificed for us in spirit, whereafter He was resurrected and restored to the Father. All of this happened in the eternal past.
-
- At the time of His eternal death and resurrection in the eternal past, Jesus redeemed us and also simultaneously became the new covenant of the eternal salvation of mankind!
- At the time of Adam’s creation, our Savior, Jesus, and the new covenant, had been a reality for billions of years. This is when and where the new covenant was born. All this took place in the eternal past!!
-
- Now we fully understand the 6 redemptive dealings of God with Abram—from the initial call of Abram to move to another land, all the way through to him receiving righteousness and salvation. Now we further understand how it was possible, legally and spiritually, for God to preach the gospel to Abram 2,000 years BEFORE Jesus would come to the earth and complete all the work needed for our full salvation, including the blood on the mercy seat of heaven after Jesus’ resurrection.
- Abram’s righteousness and salvation at this early time is further confirmed by all the pioneers of faith, as stated in Hebrews 11. All these early pioneers came to God by faith and received righteousness. The extensive list in Hebrews 11 confirms this fact, and it even started long before Abram. God’s eternal righteousness to man began with Abel. In fact, Abel, Enoch, and Noah received God’s righteousness even before Abram did. How AMAZING! Again, I refer you to page 108 in God’s Gold & Glory Revolution.
- Once Jesus was resurrected from the dead, the redemption for ALL the earth, including the animals and the soil, as well as redemption for our physical man (soul and body) was completed. With Jesus’ blood sprinkled on the mercy seat of heaven, we were also redeemed in heaven itself, thus completing all 6 Acts of Redemption (please refer back to the chart featured above).
- Jesus IS indisputably the new covenant—from the eternal past and still continuing today!
- Now let us consider the second part of the question: when does the new covenant end? The new covenant has NO end throughout the eternal future, but it does reach a conclusion in the earth.
-
-
- The new covenant on the earth is God’s government for Dispensation 7 (from Jesus’ resurrection to the Rapture of the Church).
- Dispensation 7 ends at the time of the Church Rapture. After the Church’s departure, salvation by grace through faith is NO longer possible.
- During Dispensation 8 (the tribulation), salvation is STILL possible; however, NO longer through grace and faith—but ONLY through tribulation and faith. Since the body of Christ is NO longer on the earth, those born-again in the tribulation are saved but NOT part of the Church or the spiritual body of Christ, although they are fully redeemed.
- At the end of the tribulation, ALL SALVATION ENDS.
- In Dispensation 9 (the 1,000-year reign of Christ), the Church reigning with Christ represents the new covenant and the body of Christ in the earth, but NO salvation is offered to the inhabitants of Earth until the end of the 1,000 years.
-
-
- So, Dispensation 7 brings the new covenant through grace, while Dispensation 8 brings the new covenant through tribulation.
- In Dispensation 9, Christ governs Israel based on the old covenant until the end of the 1,000 years when satan is let out of the pit. At this time, both Israel and the other nations of the world are faced with the choice of eternal salvation.
- At the Great White Throne Judgment, the Church represents the new covenant before the judgment throne of the Father. Throughout eternity, the new covenant endures forever!
-
-
- Firstly, it endures SPIRITUALLY from the eternal past when Jesus made the covenant.
- Secondly, in REALITY, the new covenant is demonstrated through the Church, the body of Christ, throughout the eternal future—new covenant without end, Church without end, spiritual body of Christ without end!
-
-
JESUS AND THE NEW COVENANT ENDURE FOREVER! Hallelujah!
We, the Church of the new covenant, endure forever!
