    About this ebook

    Religion & Spirituality - The "Covenants of the Bible" describes
    the partnerships between God and man. Throughout the over 6,000
    years of human existence, God has been faithful to His promises;
    man has not! A good many practicing Christians are unfamiliar
    with all of the biblical covenants and the history and context
    behind them. This book offers insightful background and a general
    understanding of each covenant and is a good starting point leading
    to devout bible study and a better understanding of biblical theology
    and bible history. It is not a book on spiritualism and in fact it
    is a book of spirituality vs religion. It delineates what are the
    differences in religions and speaks about religion spirituality.
    If you have a desire to better understand God's will in your life
    and your position amongst the saints, you should read this book
    and pass it on to all believers and unbelievers as an evangelical
    tool.

      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,

      Introduction

      The Bible speaks of eight different covenants, five of which God made with the nation of Israel. I will only be discussing six of these covenant in this book; the other two covenants are worthy of separate books.  Four of the covenants are unconditional in nature. That is, regardless of Israel's obedience or disobedience, God still will fulfill these covenants with the nation of Israel. One of the covenants is conditional in nature. That is, this covenant will bring either blessing or cursing depending on Israel's obedience or disobedience.

      Be advised that all of the covenants are known by different names but the chart listed above can be sued to keep them straight in your mind.

      The Meaning of The Word

      The word ‘covenant’ is, in the Old Testament the Hebrew word ‘berith’ and is used some 286 times in various contexts. Whilst its active meaning is not difficult to understand from its contexts, yet the exact meaning of the term is not easy to ascertain. There are a number of views as to its literal meaning, and as to the principle of covenant as found in secular and religious literature. From various roots of berith it has been thought to derive from ‘fetter’ or ‘obligation’ or from eating at a meal which the two contracting parties ate, especially in the context of sacrifice offered to the deity or deities. Some trace it from the verbs ‘to perceive’ or ‘to determine’, the basic idea being ‘vision’. However, the weight of scholarship comes down upon the idea of ‘bond’ relating to the root ‘bara’, that is ‘to bind’.

      As to the use of the word in Scripture it is not
