Thanks Dr. Oliver For Taking The Time To Study This Subject Over The Years Until You Could Present Us With Such A Wonderful Book On Covenant. (Commendation By Dr. Bill Hamon Bishop/Apostle Of Christian International Ministries Network (Cimn) Author Of Prophets And Personal Prophecy Day Of The Saints And Many Other Major Books.) A General Background To The Nature Of Covenants Both Divine Covenants And Human Covenants Lays A Strong Foundation For The Discussion Of The New Covenant. The Covenant With Abraham Receives Some Attention. The Promises Of The New Covenant The Blood Of Jesus And The New Order Of The Priesthood Of Christ Are Some Of The Broad Subjects Given Attention In This Compelling Book. Through The Better Hope Of The New Covenant God'S New People Have Secured The Assurance Of A Quality Of Access Into God'S Presence That Was Not Possible Under The Old Testament Levitical Institution. We Are Called To Draw Near Not In A Cultic Sense But In Prayer.The Better Hope By Which We Draw Near Speaks Of A New Level Of Prayer Life In Which We Are Enabled By The Strong Consolation Of God'S Immutability Expressed In His Promises Which Are Impregnated With An Oath. The Blessings Of All Covenants Prior To The New Covenant Lie Stored Up In Christ. It Is In The New Covenant That All The Blessings Of He Previous Covenants Are Revealed And Manifested In Their Full Eschatological Reality.Jesus Is The Mediator Of The New Covenant Which Was Established And Divinely Legislated Upon Qualitatively Superior Promises Far Exceeding The Old Testament Promises. As The Mediator Of The New Covenant He Fits Us For The Realization Of The Goals Of The New Covenant. Jesus Is The Mediator Of The New Covenant Means He Is The Person And Medium In Which The Disposition Of God Is Made Effective And Imparted To Humankind. Jesus Ministers In The Heavenly Sanctuary In God'S Presence For The Benefit Of His People God'S Promises Are Invested With Divine Power. The Fulfillment Of His Purposes Cannot Be Thwarted By Any Circumstance Or Historical Event. God'S Purposes To Bless Humankind Is Revealed In The Covenants That He Enacted With Human Beings In The Course Of History. Such Covenants Were Vehicles For Man To Enter Into The Purposes Of God. They Defined The Inter-Personal Love Relationship That God Has Always Intended To Have With Human Beings. Through Divine Covenants God Releases His Divine Power And Blessings For Mankind'S Enjoyment And Fruitfulness. The New Covenant Was Ratified In The Blood Of Jesus. Therefore When Jesus Said This Is My Blood Of The New Covenant He Was Anticipating The Ratification Of The New Covenant Promised In Jeremiah 31:31-34. Through His Own Blood He Obtained Eternal Redemption. Through Jesus' Definitive Sacrifice Believers Receive Decisive Purgation Of The Conscience And The Effective Removal Of Every Impediment To The Worship Of God. The New Covenant Enacted Through The Blood Of Jesus Has Granted To Believers A New And A Living Way Into God'S Presence An Authorization Of Access That Was Not Available In Old Testament Worship. The New And Living Way Participates In The Incorruptible Freshness Of The New Covenant. The Enactment Of The New Covenant Has Reconciled Humankind To God To Experience The Glory Of God'S Being And Worship Him As Lord And King Over All.
