Eze. 33:1-6: Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Is it a Covenant or a Contract!

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hos. 4:6 ESV)

“It is written,“‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matt.4:4 ESV)

Before we can precede any further I believe we need to read the Scriptures quoted above and take them to heart.

We know that understanding and knowledge are obtained by the principle of hearing something repeatedly whether it be the Truth or an Untruth

To out own detriment we have based our understanding of so many of our basic foundational Biblical interpretations on what we have been taught by the established and formulised philosophically influenced denominations.  This erroneous understanding is then compounded by our own worldly experience, so generally, at best we interpret Biblical Doctrines incorrectly, but at worst we apply outright lies as the Truth calling good evil and evil good.

The Biblical Covenant is one such foundational Truth, which today in most cases we presume to be similar, if not the same as a Contract. We have no real idea what implications and applications Covenants should have on our lives, because if we did we would not have all this confusion about Sha’ul, Shabbat, Sunday, Christmas and so on; nonetheless YHWH bases HIS entire Kingdom on revealed Eternal Covenants and HE will not and cannot change.

It is wise to remember that confusion is not of YHWH 1 Cor. 14:33, additionally the Hebrew root word translated in the Bible as Babylon is also the root word for “confusion” and “to babel”.

In an attempt to try and right this wrong we need to look again at aspects of YHWH’s Divine Nature that we would do well to ponder on for a while before we go any further. 

Because YHWH is the Creator Elohim Gen.1: 1; Because He is all-knowing (Omniscient Job 37:16; Ps. 147:5); all-powerful (Omnipotent Mat. 19:26; Eph. 1:19); all-present (Omnipresent 1Kgs. 8:27; 2 Chron. 2:6; Ps. 139:7ff; Jer.23: 23-24) and the owner of everything in the Heavens and on the Earth Deut. 10:14; Ps. 24:1.

Because YHWH cannot lie Num. 23:19 and is immutable (unchangeable) Heb. 6:17-20.  Because YHWH will never change HIMSELF Mal. 3:6; Heb.13:8 nor change HIS WORD NOR BREAK A COVENANT which has gone out from HIM Ps. 89:34; Ps. 105:8; Ps. 119:89, nor break His Scriptures Is. 8:20; John 10:34-36; Jas. 2:12; because HE is Eternal Gen. 21:33; Is. 40:28 and can swear by no Higher Authority than HIMSELF Heb. 6:13. YHWH thus can only be Faithful for ever Ps 146:6 and can only make everlasting Covenants – In short ELOHIM YHWH DOES NOT NEED TO CHANGE HE IS NEVER, NO NEVER, NO NEVER EVER CAUGHT OFF GUARD OR BY SURPRISE.  Please ponder, deliberate on this before you read further:  Selah

So because of The Divine Attributes of YHWH we can hopefully see why HE does not make and break Covenants and why HE has placed an incredible premium on Truth and fidelity – and why HE has the right to demand Covenant obedience and fidelity from HIS Children Israel (pistis = faith, fidelity, loyalty) and why we are admonished by our Master YESHUA to let our yes be our yes and our no be our no Matt. 5:37 and beware of making idle Covenants (promises).

Look at what a Covenant is, or conversely is not as compared to a Contract!

CONTRACT
COVENANT
1. Agreement between two parties.
1. Agreement between two parties.

2. Involves services of people.
2. Involves actions and beliefs of people

3. Deals with secular affairs.
3. Deals with eternal affairs.

4. People as witness.
4. YHWH as witness.

5. Made with monetary values in mind.
5. Not necessarily monetary motivation.

6. Expiry date involved.
6. Eternal.

7. Broken and made null & void if one party breaks contract.
7. Remains binding on remaining party even if other party breaks Covenant.



























Basically summed up something like this: A Contract is based on a Quid pro quo principle where as a Covenant is based on principle of an eternal promise and the binding of oneself to a moral issue for life with YHWH as your witness.

The Written Word from Genesis to Revelation is about The King of Creation, His Bride, His Subjects and His Kingdom, so what better place to introduce the theme of HIS Marriage Covenant and it’s “engagement ring,” The Sabbath, than right in The Beginning Is. 46:10.

We see YHWH setting date timelines when HE established HIS Sabbath – HE decided on the length of a week according to HIS work schedule and the completion thereof – HE RELIES ON NOTHING OR NOBODY ELSE Is. 44:6 & 8; 45:5; 45:21; Hos. 13:4!

YHWH is outside of time Ps. 90:4 & 2 Pet. 3:8 thus HE established the Sabbath for our benefit Mk. 2:7 seeming not for HIS.

By sanctifying and setting aside (Making Holy) the Sabbath YHWH shows HIMSELF to be the King of Creation, a KING Who has the Sovereign Right to choose HIS Day and do with it and order HIS Creation as HE pleases, and we, HIS Creation, by abiding in HIS will and being obedient to HIS Instructions of the Sabbath, and the rest of HIS Instructions (TORAH), align themselves with the King of Creation. 

NOTE PLEASE: 

1.  This is a Creation Instruction and Covenant –NOT A JEWISH ONE – NO JEWS YET!
2.     It is only YHWH commitment to HIS Covenant (HIS Word) that prevents HIM wiping out all of mankind!  Praise HIS Name HE is not fickle like Allah or a pantheon god like the Sun God, Mithras.

Moving from the Sabbath to the 1st Marriage between Adam and Chavah we immediately note no human involvement at all in the entire process apart from the freewill act of acceptance of each other by the espousing parties:  The entire Marriage is ordered, orchestrated and ordained by YHWH with no human involvement JUST AS THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB TO HIS BRIDE!  See how YESHUA presents HIS Bride to HIMSELF without Stain or Wrinkle (in other words a virgin) in Eph. 5:27 just as HE did with Adam, who before the fall was an illustration of MESSIAH YESHUA HIMSELF, when HE presented a perfect, spotless and innocent Chavah to him Gen. 2:22.

Please note that YHWH is the Authority of HIS Marriage, NOT THE STATE MARRIAGE LICENCE OR THE CHURCH LEADER ISSUING A LICENCE OR ANYTHING ELSE!

Therefore when you change the Day of Sabbath and the Marriage rules YOU CHANGE THE WORD OF YHWH AND HIS PERPETUAL COVENANT!      Please - don’t do that you will get hurt!!

Plainly YHWH HIMSELF sanctified the Eternal 7th day Sabbath –Ex 31:13-17, we cannot argue that point; then who may I ask is man to challenge and change that as the RCC claims they have the right to and the denominations follow blindly?

"Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles .... From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first." (Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1990.) (Emphasis added by author)

Question - Which is the Sabbath day? 

Answer - Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? 

Answer - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”
The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd ed.

I think we can all agree on the fact that The Act of Creation was and is binding on all of mankind for eternity whether mankind choose to believe in Creation, YHWH and HIS Covenant or not.  We can also agree I believe every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that YESHUA IS YHWH ROM. 14:9-13.

That being the case I believe we can safely state that reading many passages, especially Ephesians 5 we are left in no doubt that the Marriage which is brought together and consummated in the Name of YHWH, if left to HIS direction by the husband and wife concerned such marriage shall reflect HIS relationship with HIS Bride as HE intended with HIS introduction of HIS Marriage Covenant sign (Shabbat) and HIS authored Marriage of Adam and Chavah at Creation (remember YHWH changes not!)

The Marriage, as instituted at Creation is an ETERNAL COVENANT consecrated with the blood OF THE VIRGIN BRIDE – she can only loose her virginity once.  Unfortunately we all have whored and run after other gods and lost our virginity Rom. 3:23 BUT our Messiah YESHUA’s redemption of HIS intended Bride is eternal, and once Redeemed and CONSECRATED BY HIS BLOOD, we too become virgins once again and this we show to the world by our adult rebirth Baptism symbolising following our MASTER into death and HIS Resurrection INTO A NEW LIFE AS A NEW CREATION, A FIRST FRUIT OF HIS KNIGDOM.

NB: MESSIAH IS FAITHFUL TO HIS COVENANT EVEN WHEN HIS BRIDE IS NOT. This is called GRACE!

Please also note when speaking of baptism above I in no way refer or pay any credence to infant RCC/Denominational christenings!

We read in Gen. 15 how the promises of the payment of Our Blood Covenant was itself portrayed by a Covenant, sealed with Abraham by YHWH’s by YHWH walking without Abraham alone through the sacrificial carcasses meaning that HE (YHWH) would take the entire penalty for the breaking of the HIS Covenant by Israel (HIS people) on HIS own Shoulders!

Please understand this dear reader:  PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANCE FOR US OF THE ETERNAL NEVER CEASING COVENANT OF YHWH.  WHERE WOULD WE BE IF YHWH OR MAN COULD CHANGE COVENANTS AT A WIM – WE WOULD ALL BE CURSED WITH NO HOPE OF ETERNITY AT ALL SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF DESPOTS.

Are we now able to see what a beautiful picture is portrayed in Genesis by the introduction of the Sabbath and the Marriage?  When we come into Covenant with YHWH through the Sacrifice of Yeshua and we adopt HIS 7th day Sabbath and set it aside, we declare for all Creation to see that we are covenanted with the King of Creation, YHWH Yeshua.  Not the god of Islam, Allah, whose adherents worship on a Friday (6th day of the week); or the god of Constantine, sun god (Mithras), who is worshiped on a Sunday (1st day of the week), we worship the Elohim of Creation Who completed HIS Works and rested at the end of the week and now sit at the right hand of HIS FATHER! We worship the KING of the 7th Millennium, the 1000 year reign of  Peace (Shalom) – we worship YHWH, ADONI (LORD, RULER) OF THE SABBATH!  HALLELUJAH AND HALLELUJAH!   

Dear reader I have learnt a lesson of massive importance, which Abba willing I shall write about next, however in the mean time please consider this:

There are two types of marriages in the Western supposedly Christian world:  There are those of YHWH and there are those of the State.

Please understand, just because a man and a women stand in a Church, or Registrars office or anywhere else for that matter and make contractual promises according to the Laws of the Country or State and tag a “so help me G-D” or similar phrase on DOES NOT MAKE THEM MARRIED IN THE EYES OF YHWH, AND HE HAS NOT JOINED THEM TOGETHER FULLSTOP!

IF YHWH WAS NOT INVOLVED IT IS NOT A MARRIAGE HONOURING HIM HE SHARES HIS GLORY WITH NOBODY AND THE MARRIAGE AND THE SHABBAT REFLECT HIS GLORY Is. 42:8; 48:11.

MARRIAGE IS A MINISTRY WHICH, IF IT IS TO BE USED FOR HIS GLORY, MUST BE CALLED AND COMMISSIONED BY YHWH!

Most marriages in the Western World are officiated over by a church denomination that itself is in and of itself in an adulterous relationship with Rome (read the State as well) and have long, long ago (CE 325) given up their Marriage Covenant with the Elohim of Israel and betrothed themselves to The Sun God and worship on their covenant day, Sunday!

Come out MY people; Come OUT The Ruach cries!
