C 3 WHAT ARE THE COVENANTS?
GOD Created The Covenants as an Unchangeable, Divinely Imposed Legal Agreement Between HIMSELF and Mankind that Stipulates the Conditions of their Relationship.
Isa_42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

APOLOGY & DISCLAIMER REGARDING THE NEW ADS:
When we began our Study Guides this free internet host service was free of ads. However, they have begun adding frequent ads over which we have no control. The ad content and the page placement of the ads are in the articles themselves and are intrusive to our content and an interruption for the student and reader.
Based on some borderline offensive content we have decided an alternative option of a private server which will enhance the reading and learning experiences for our students and readers without exposure to unwanted advertising.
We have observed some ads and think it will be just a matter of time before the ad content will become so offensive it will prove unsettling to those who are seeking and expecting Spiritual and Exalting Edification Content. We don’t believe our subscribers should have to be exposed to these ads and their content.
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF YHVH GOD TO FIGHT SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD – Ephesians 6:10 to 6:20
Please Pray to the FATHER & SON through the HOLY GHOST/HOLY SPIRIT, Comforter and Spirit of Truth for Spiritual Protection of your Heart and Mind before you begin reading the Study Guides and articles. If profane or offensive ads appear, prayerfully dismiss them as Spiritual Warfare which is real for those who Seek the Kingdom of GOD & Heaven.
Be aware and be prepared with the elements of the >> Spiritual Armor of GOD << for Spiritual Power because we wrestle and battle not against flesh & blood but against malefic spiritual beings who control them and their actions. See a larger image of the elements and Scriptures of the Spiritual Armor at the link above. We discuss this topic further in this Study Guide and throughout the other Study Guides with special focus in the Angelology Study Guide of benign celestial beings and the malefic beings.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
WE MUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
If you view something profane and disturbing before we have moved our Study Guides there are Prayers of >> Overcoming In Spiritual Warfare << at the preceding link. Recite the Prayer before continuing if you can. Also, there is a link to the >> LORD’S Prayer. << We are attempting to get the move underway as soon as possible but considerations include technical aspects which are new issues for the move. We have Faith the LORD will provide.
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

RECONCILIATION AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

See you on the other side.
1Ti_3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
This Study Guide C3 explains why the Covenants are Necessary and why they should be Understood. This Study Guide is a Precursor to C12 The Divine Will of YHVH GOD which lists all of the Covenants from Adam to CHRIST JESUS YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH with the details of each Covenant and its Purpose.
This Study Guide C3 explores the events of the crime by the first parents that resulted in the Death Penalty for all of Mankind.
The Divine Plan and the Great Design which is the Plan of Salvation is also delineated in C12 which was Created Before the Foundation of the World. It depicts the Prophecy and Covenants that Promised A Way to Save Mankind from the Evil Adversary who Usurped the Kingdom given to Man and Blinded the Minds of Mankind.
Through deception he made himself a god with his Earthly Kingdom Governed by the Laws of Darkness, Ignorance, Lust, Sin and Death Disguised in Deceptions and Illusions. These regulate the governing Laws which substantiate the “Norms” of the Societies of the World which he uses to Enslave all of Mankind kept Captive in the Bondage.
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
LUST – ABNORMAL APPETITES
Lust is a strong desire, a craving, an abnormal appetite for Physical Acquisition and Satisfaction. The Science of Man is the World’s Religion and the Media is its Priests and Instructors whose Teachings are Broadcasted through Television, Movies, Books, Games and other Advertisements Subliminally and Directly. It Teaches and Conditions Mankind from Childhood to Adulthood to Covet, Desire, Want and Seek its Disguised Detrimental Values at whatever Means Necessary which draws them Deeper into Darkness which is Ignorance of the Malignity of Satan and his Lust to Destroy Man and the Earth which he has made an Illusion Accepted by Mankind which Science makes a Reality.
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
GLORIOUS EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Mankind also suffers from the Ignorance of the Glorious Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven which is Holy and the Light and Wisdom of YHVH GOD and HIS SON who Created the Worlds. Disciples learn the Reality of YHVH as a thing that Exists in Fact, having previously only Existed in one’s Mind and Imagination. It is written the Eye, Heart and Mind of Man has not seen or Heard the things YHVH GOD has Prepared for those who Love HIM. But HE has revealed them to HIS People by HIS SPIRIT when they receive the Gift of the HOLY SPIRIT when they Confess CHRIST JESUS YEHOSHUA HA`MASHIACH as LORD, King, Savior, Master and High Priest who came into the World to Take Away the Sin of the World – >> Unbelief in YHVH GOD << from the Sin Generated and Inherited from >> Adam and Eve. <<
Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

YHVH GOD MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE
YHVH GOD made MANKIND in HIS Own image. HE made him a Holy Rational Being with Free Will, with the Ability to be Obedient to HIM and to Choose Right from Wrong. YHVH GOD saw the first five days of Creation and said it was good. After Man was Created YHVH saw everything HE had made and it was Very Good.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Mankind knew only Good and Life which was his Reality. YHVH told Man he could eat from every tree in the Garden which was in his hand except of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. This is known as the >> “Covenant of Works” << – Live in Belief, Believe in YHVH GOD, Obey HIM and Live in HIS Light. Or Man could Choose >> Unbelief << by Disobeying YHVH GOD & >> Die in the Darkness of Sin & Death <<
Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
SATAN-ADVERSARY THE DEVIL LIAR MURDERER THIEF & DRAGON
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The Covenants are important because they are a Legal document to remind Mankind of his responsibilities to his FATHER. This is one of the Preliminary Study Guides C3 which delineates why the Covenants were necessary beginning with the Progenitors of Mankind Adam and Eve and how they were deceived and lost their First Estate in Paradise.
Lucifer, as he was known before Iniquity was found in him, became Satan, an Evil Spiritual Adversary of Mankind and his worse Enemy who wanted Adam to Fail at Obeying YHVH GOD just as he had. Satan instigated a War in Heaven and he Lost. Also called the the dragon, he drew one third of the angels who were cast down to Earth for the Crime of Disobedience, Insurrection, being a Traitor and perhaps Guilty of other Crimes we do not know of in their Spiritual Domain. They have already been judged and are waiting until their sentence is dispensed. CHRIST JESUS saw him cast out of Heaven, before HE came to Earth. HE Testified, “I beheld/observed Satan fall from Heaven as Lightning.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
THE PREEIMINENCE & SUPREMACY OF THE SON OF YHVH GOD
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Satan’s downfall was Pride, Vanity and his Desire to be in yet greater Power. His Vanity grew and Iniquity was found in him. Although he was great among the Angels he wanted more Power. There came a “Time” when YHVH told all of the Angels they were to Worship HIS SON which meant the SON Surpassed him. HE had the Preeminence of all Living things. At some point Satan became Delusional and wanted to have a Throne even above the Most High. YHVH Created all things through HIS SON including the Angels whom were “Sons of YHVH GOD” but as Ministers to the Heirs of Salvation. They were Created and not Begotten of the FATHER so the SON of YHVH GOD has Supremacy. HIS Name and Authority is Higher and the Angels have to Worship HIM. The Scripture depict YHVH saying to SON “Thy throne, O God, is for ever,” which is Eternity and will never change.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Heb 1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Heb 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
