I was looking over past Religion notes and I found this cool stuff about the Covenants I thought I'd share.

[quote]I. Our Family Tree-"History of God's Covenants"
    A. Adam & Eve
          1) They will be provided for
          2) They will live forever in union w/ God –(Perfection)
          3) Trust b/c it shows communion of person
          4) Protects us
          5) They have to obey… God is teaching them good (How to remain w/ Him)
                * Marriage Bond- A couple!
                * Sign --> Sabbath

      B. Noah- Covenant with Noah and his fam (8)
        - Saved through Waters
              * Familial Covenant
              * Sign --> Rainbow

    C. Abram- “Abraham”-Patriarchs (Father) to an entire clan (Tribe!)
        - Changes of name = new thing to do
              * Tribal Covenant
              * Sign --> circumcision

    D. Moses @ Mount Sinai
              * National-12 tribes of Isreal
              * Sign --> Passover- Angel of the Lord “Passed over” all the families of Isreal who sacrificed the Lamb & spread blood over the door & eat the Lamb

    E. David – King
            * elevated Isreal to KINGDOM (do you see how the number of people in the covenant GROW?)
            * Sign --> “Son of David [JESUS] would reign in an Everlasting” Kingdom fo Israel


    F. JESUS CHRIST
          * Univeral Covenant --> ALL mankind is being restored
          * Sign --> EUCHARIST!!! --> Fullfillment of all the Covenants!
                - Promise of Genesis 3:15  (Adam and Eve)
                - True water of Baptism (Noah)
                - The Sacrifical Lamb (Abraham)
                - New Passover (Moses)
                - EVERLASTING KING (David)[/quote]


I hope ya'll can understand that.... If not I'll summarize it later, I just needed to get that out there! I thought that this was some NEAT STUFF!!!!!!
